The Dairy - Great Barrier Island

I am giving here a 4.5 as have never tried thier ice cream sandwich ,  now that's real self control for you....so tempting it sounds in other reviews!! but no doubt but the look and sound of it this rating will change to a 5 when i do eventually try it. Anyway the big reason we came here was for the cheese melts i love love cheese and more so these creations they conjure up here.  The service is nice and friendly , and we ordered the Classic Monsieur melt......free range ham off the bone, gruyere cheese,dijon mustard with bechamel.  My other half ordered the Napoleon melt....slow braised free range pulled pork, beetroot relish, coleslaw, old edam , gherkins and chipotle aioli.  And we also had some hand cut fries. The fries came out first and were just as i like them , nice and chunky, cooked just right and just enough salt on. Then came our melts.  Delicious as i always say when is worthy of it.  And for me even more so as the cheese was melted just enough to be dripping out a bit.  Perfect.  If it was not dripping out a bit it just would not have been the same for me. The ham and all the other ingredients were put together just right . It did not matter that maybe it fell apart a little ....delicious!! As for the Napoleon i was told it was equally as good though a bit much for her. I did sample some of the pork and it was tasty. All in all i would reccomend to anyone and we'll definetly have to try the ice cream sandwich next time.

Highly recommend!We came here for dinner and ordered the fondue and the poutine. The two ladies behind the counter were absolutely wonderful and very helpful with our orders.The fondue was amazing, though they had turned our flame up to high and it burnt a little. The poutine is something I am going to remember for years. The gravy had amazing flavour and plenty of it so the potatoes were drowning in it. The cheese curds melted perfectly and the brisket on top was fall apart good. We will be back for more poutine.

Taste: Interior Deco: Customer service: Recommend: For all Cheese loverrrrs out there! Add this to ur try list!! Perfectly crisped toasts/buns! Love the Mr. pickle!!!!!! Wish they have even more pickles tho!

Looking for a new dessert place and came here on a Saturday night. <br/ Wasn’t too sure what kind of desserts they would have but as soon as I saw their dessert section I knew that I’d made a good choice.<br/ We ordered the Apple Churro and Toasted Brioche S’mores. <br/ Bother we’re AMAZING and would definitely come back to try their savoury dishes as well. <br/ Highly recommend coming here on a date after dinner since you sit outside and has a nice atmosphere. <br/ Staff were really lovely and friendly too: <br/

My second visit here and I loved it more than the first! the first time I came I got chocolate ice cream and two chocolate cookies which was just too much but this time I tried the mint ice cream and chocolate peanut butter cookies with candy floss! The candy floss was more Persian style than your typical store bought stuff and it was all the better for it. The choc peanut butter cookies could have done with a bit more peanut butter flavour which is the only reason why I’m not giving this a 5/5 stars.
