The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere right in the heart of Nelson, featuring a cozy dining area and an interior courtyard that remains accessible even on rainy days due to its shelter. The menu is appealing, and the staff is quick, helpful, and friendly. There is a good variety of wines and beers available. However, it's unfortunate that many of the desserts shown in the Google photos are no longer offered on the m... View all feedback.

This is truly one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. They were able to accommodate us on very short notice and accommodated our dietary restrictions as well. Our servers, Ara and another friendly male waiter, provided knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient service. When we mentioned my lactose intolerance, the chefs prepared a special off-menu dessert that was completely dairy-free for us (as seen in the photo). The food itself was amazing—flavorful yet well-balanced, expertly crafted and beautifully presented. It was also an excellent value. The cocktails were delicious and artfully arranged. I could easily write ten more paragraphs about this experience, but I know that's too much to read! I would give it 6 out of 5 stars.
We had lunch at Arden, and we truly enjoyed every dish. The food was fantastic, and the atmosphere was wonderful as well. Arden was definitely one of the best restaurants we visited during our holiday in New Zealand. We hope to return someday.
During a recent work trip, I stopped by for a quick glass of wine, but ended up enjoying six more wines and three courses! I was truly amazed by the world-class fine dining experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and the atmosphere was fantastic. I can't wait to return!
