We were walking along the river and noticed some menus on the table. It looked interesting but we had made up our mind to try another eatery suggested by our host. Unfortunately when we got there but it was closed so perhaps it was meant to be that we went back to Riverine. The lady was lovely (as we have... More

We were looking for somewhere to have dinner and not many places where open. Then we spotted Riverine. We tried the Ayam Masak O', a chicken stew, with rice. The flavours were perfectly balanced, it was delicious and very satisfying, like tasty home-cooking.

I noticed this place with it's tables overlooking the river and St Frances Xavier church, and it seemed like the perfect view for dinner. The waitress was very helpful when I asked for something local and spicy and suggested I try the ayam buah keluak - chicken with black nuts, which are apparently a Nyonya specialty. She was kind enough... More

We had a short weekend trip to Malacca and decided to try this restaurant. The tables were by the riverside (as the name indicates) with river cruises passing by. The evening ambiance was great with St. Francis Xavier's church view across the road. The lights made it stand out from the other buildings. Service was good. We tried fur dishes... More

We stopped at the Riverine restaurant, enjoying their riverside seating, nice drinks and local food and would happily stop there again. This is a small locally operated restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating, is literally on the river, just a couple meters away, affording you some very nice environs for a drink or meal. We stopped in... More

We stumbled across this place not having used tripadvisor and were very pleasantly surprised. Nice location on the river. Food well prepared. I would go again.

nicely situated on the bank of the river. Front of restaurant doesn't look appealing make sure you go through to the back by the river. Not much seating area. Food traditional and tasty, very reasonably priced.

This place was #10 on Trip Advisors list of restaurants in malacca so we had somewhat high hopes. The food was pretty bland though. The "large" portions were pretty small. We had the Tempura Chicken dish, hoping to enjoy the flavors they describe in the menu: tamarind and lime. Instead, the chicken came served in a watery broth that was... More
