Hilights - Te Anau

My favourite restaurant in Te Anau. AmazIng food, nice atmosphere, and friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend

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.

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

This place is cozy and food is great. Staff were attentive and friendly. The lamb shank’s pretty affordable comparing to the average cost in NZ.
