A thoughtfully curated menu of Mediterranean share plates. At Isola, we believe food is more than just a meal, it’s an opportunity to pause, enjoy time with friends and family and nourish the soul.
Our menu is designed to be shared to enhance the communal nature of a meal and to give you the opportunity to try more than one thing at a time.
Isola Riva is one of Forster's newest restaurants, taking advantage of their incredible sunset views over Wallis Lake (previously Colonel's Cafe).

Will definitely come back, love the variety of sharing plates able to taste many dishes, great service and very friendly new owners, We could take our puppy along to enjoy the evening, i was cool with the evening breeze, they had a light blanket which made the night comfortable and enjoyable. They had thought of everything and I will definitely come back! Nice selection of food, cocktails and wine. Thanks Tanya

One of the Best Dining experiences ever, the new owners, really lovely people, attentive but non intrusive, beautiful relaxed atmosphere. The food tastes so fresh and flavoursome. Aqua marine water views, crisp, chilled white wine and incredible food. Pricing is really good for what you get. Thanks again to the owners of ISOLA ️️️️️

What a treat! We had the loveliest dinner here. The staff were attentive and friendly but not hovering, the atmosphere was fantastic and the food was delicious! I'm looking forward to Isola becoming a regular feature of my trips to Forster.

Wonderful location and great food- catered to vegetarians as well as seafood and meat eaters ( the hand made gnocci is amazing!) Great service too. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Isola Riva.
