Welcome to GRAZE by the River…where our cuisine is
inspired by Nature and created with Love. We strive to
only use organic vegetables grown by ourselves or by
our local partners so there are no pesticides or
dangerous chemicals used in their production. Our
other ingredients including meat, fish and dairy
products are all selected for their quality and the way
they are produced, in an ethical and sustainable way.
We roast our own coffee beans and smoke our fish and
meat products on site so that we have a foot print of
everything on your plate, which we think, and we hope
you think too, is important. So sit back and enjoy the
GRAZE experience, BON APETIT….
