The resort's Dine page, updated on 16 October 2026, lists nine outlets: one destination restaurant, one full-service family restaurant, a sports bar, two counter-service spots, a meals-to-go counter, a coffee bar and two lounges. Two of them are 18+: Centre Bar and Onyx. Members of the casino's loyalty programme get discounts at some outlets, which we mention only because the resort prints it on the same page.

How to choose

For an occasion, Hell's Kitchen: it is the first in Canada, and the resort lists separate lunch, dinner, prix fixe and dessert menus. With children, The Kitchen or Tap 25, both of which publish kids menus; minors have been allowed in the restaurants since July 2024 if an adult is with them. Before a show, The Kitchen and Tap 25 each publish a show-night menu, and River Cree Eats opens on show nights. After a show, Fatburger and Cree Subs are the late options, along with 24/7 in-room dining.

The Lobby Coffee Bar

The resort describes a fireplace and free Wi-Fi at the Lobby Coffee Bar, which serves Starbucks coffee with sandwiches, salads and pastries. It opens at 6 am every day and closes at 10 pm on Sunday to Thursday and 11 pm on Friday and Saturday. It is the one food outlet that sits in the hotel lobby rather than in the casino.

Food at shows

The Venue sells no food during concerts unless the event is a banquet, a dinner show or a watch party. The resort's advice is to eat in the casino before or after. Drinks inside the showroom are sold from two main bars, with beer tubs in some areas, and the VIP balcony has its own bar.

A note on what we leave out

The resort runs dining promotions tied to its loyalty card and to particular nights. Offers change often and several are linked to the casino, so we do not reprint them. Check the resort's dining promotions page for what is on during your stay.

Room request coupon

Tell us your dates and the room you have in mind at River Cree. The desk checks availability and the current rate with the hotel's reservations team or a booking partner, then answers by email.

No card details. Nothing is booked until you confirm.

How this paper is paid: when a request sent from this coupon turns into a confirmed stay, the hotel or the booking partner that completes the reservation pays us a commission. You pay the hotel's rate and nothing on top.

Received. The desk will write back by email, normally within one business day, with what the hotel can offer for your dates. This is a request, not a booking.
