We are both vegan and had the pleasure of being served by Angie and another lady (didn’t catch her name) who helped us with the options. One of the most amazing meals we’ve ever had! Delicious and flavoursome. Highly recommend to anyone coming through Akaroa, with a serene environment. Thank you again! We will definitely be back!

The Lamb Madrass was the most delicious I've ever eaten, where I live in Australia has a high indian population so there are plenty of brilliant indian restaurants but this one dish was a stand out for me. The serving sizes are also very generous for the price, the cevice was easily the size of a main and was done differently to any I'd tried before, very enjoyable, as was the seared Tuna. The French style mains were also very well done! The duck was a little sweet in the cherry jus but I find this is often the way with French cuisine, so no qualms! Definitely worth a visit.
