The Rio is a cafe in Summer Hill. We don't yet have enough signals to confirm whether dogs are allowed. It's best to check with the venue before visiting with your dog. Just 550m away, Lewisham West dog off-leash area is a great nearby park for a walk with your dog.

126 Smith St, Summer Hill NSW 2130, Australia

The cocktails were insanely good, the service was excellent (friendly and very quick), and the food was delicious. The standout dish was probably the wagyu cooked on the hibachi (not pictured), but everything was great. 4 dishes was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. Looked like some vegan options on the menu too (though we did not try them this time). We look forward to coming back to try more of the cocktails asap!

This is the place to be; the jewel in summer hill. Great food, amazing customer service but you will not find greater hosts than Tess and Tanya. Do your self a favour and drop by

Great atmosphere. The bartenders are friendly and really know their craft—their old fashioned is one of the best in town. Cozy vibe, good music, and not too loud so you can actually have a conversation. Highly recommend for a chill night out.sitting on out door. Perfect enjoy summer hill

I recently celebrated my baby shower upstairs at The Rio and had such a great time. The staff, food and vibe were 10/10. We really appreciated how accommodating they were with our requests - absolute legends! Unfortunately we didn't take many photos of the upstairs area, but it was cosy, with lots of natural light and character- perfect for any event.
