Hilights - Te Anau

We arrived without reservation on a Friday night, and managed to get a seat for dinner. We ordered pork ribs, pan fried blue cod and seared salmon. The pork ribs was fantastic. The bones slided right off the meat, and the meat was soft and juicy. The cod and salmon were not as good compared to the ribs, since we had better fresher fish elsewhere. Overall. Presentation of the food was fantastic, and the service was good. Hence highly recommended to order the ribs if you like ribs.

Friendly service… It was a cold morning.. I really need coffee as because me and my partner going to milford sound and cafe’s opening time was 8am but I didn’t know I went there around 7:30am I was looking at time on closed entrance door and felf sad then lady came out and asked me to come in and gave me coffee even they were closed….. I really thankful to her

Had the venison, and it was spectacular. perfectly cooked and paired so well with the puree carrots, roasted beets, and some kind of potato and cheese fritter. Also, the sticky date pudding was amazing for dessert! Staff were nice and attentive as well.

Really unexpectedly good. We had a full day out at Doubtful sound and returned for a 4 person dinner here. Everybody was stoked with their meals. Including 2 with the mainland venison (entree) and the mussel carbonara. Very happy stomachs all round. The only critique was that I ordered the Venison medallion which was twice the cost of the Mainland venison but was virtually the same meal. Tasted great but in hindsight I could have saved $20 to get the entree.

The cafe/bar is very simple and cosy. We went for hot chocolate, and it’s one of the best in town. Decent prices and lovely services. There is parking right outside, but limited spaces. Toilets are located in the same building but outside the cafe. Only came for drinks, did not have food
