Excellent food and service. The Mt Cook Salmon is a particular stand-out - generously portioned and done so well. The hazelnut crumbing is divine, and the accompaniments of the garlic prawns, roasted potatoes and salad compliment the dish perfectly. The eye fillet is good as well, as are the soup of the day and the duck liver pate. The smoked chocolate tart is interesting as we’ve not tried smoked chocolate before, but also enjoyable. Portions here are generous for the price so remember to bring your appetite. We were promptly served with a smile and made to feel welcome and comfortable the entire time we were here, even though the restaurant was busy. Also - the restaurant is aptly named. It’s a wonderful experience to dine with a view of the lake and the mountains before you. This is one of the most enjoyable dinners we’ve had on our trip, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Lake Tekapo.
We were looking for a decent restaurant open on a Sunday as most are closed in Tekapo and it is heavily pouring. I came to find this in google and it seems new. I spoke to the manager and found they just open this year Feb 2022. I would rate the service and hospitality as exceptional, food is amazing. We ordered pork belly burger and it is yummy! We will definitely come back when we return to Tekapo. Interior, dining and bar is greatly designed.
Stopped in for dinner Anzac weekend.we didn't book a table,we thought we would try our luck.we were received warmly and a table was organized. We had the mussels and the shrimp for starters.followed by the duck and salmon for the main.the food was done to a very high quality and we couldn't fault it.amazing flavors and was a quick turn around from the kitchen to the table. The staff made the experience very enjoyable and made us feel very welcome.to top it all off we were given a dessert to share which was a very kind gesture. Would recommend highly. Just a new restaurant but seems to have everything working well and friendly staff..well done guys 10/10..
Very yummy food.Loved the seafood platter we ordered. Highly recommended ????????. Staff was friendly and attentive. Although its the Easter weekend, the wait for the food was a bit too long. And it's always tricky to wait for a long time with young kids ???? Overall we will still return, and hope the waiting time can be improved. Beautiful view just outside the restaurant too.
On our arrival here from 3 hour drive from Chc Airport AND 10 hour flight from Singapore... This place was a God send. Staff were SO FRIENDLY...ALL of them! It made our tiredness go away. The food, ahh the food. Sorry whilst I try to recall the taste but still dreaming of it's gloriousness. ???? Cannot say anything bad about the food. All were good and the beef... *Homer Simpson moment* hhmmmm bbeefff The seafood chowder was also omg legit. The salmon was so fresh you can almost imagine they just caught it 30 minutes ago! And there was that pork belly dish. Slap me silly and call me aunty... Literally melts in your mouth, like just really, the meat just disintegrated in my mouth ???? it was that well made. Good people, good place and good food, we love this place. To us, this place was inexpensive for all that it is.
