What John Allen doesn't like about The Alice May:
Great atmosphere and excellent service. Unfortunately mains were very disappointing (lamb shanks and spare ribs). Expensive for indifferent pub food. Desert was good though (apple and blackberry pie) Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$50–60 Food: 2 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback. What Marià Garrido Ferrer likes about The Alice May:
One of the most recommended restaurants in Franz Josef Glacier. Good portions and excellent quality, with very friendly service (one of the waitresses speaks Spanish). In addition, the name of the place has its own history, which we will not reveal in case you ever go there... Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$40–50 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 View all feedback.

We spent only one night in Franz Josef and Alice May was the only restaurant we dined in for dinner, therefore it would not be fair to say it was the best in to...

A very cosy restaurant in Franz Josef. I enjoyed the braised beef cheeks and Pavlova for dessert. The staff are enthusiastic and friendly.

The ribs fall off the bone. I want them again. Coming from memphis, tn (BBQ capital of the world) this means something.
