This is our 2nd visit to Smugglers while visiting Nelson. Found the main meals overpriced for what they were. But the garlic bread was our high light of our meal. It was so so good.!!! Would probably not return if visiting Nelson again.

Smugglers is one of my favourites to take friends and family. There's a great piratey aesthetic that makes it fun, and the food is great.

My husband and I popped in for dinner. They were very busy and advised there could be a delay in getting our meals out. The waitress also let us know. We had no problem with that and appreciated being told. Both of our meals were...lovely and generous portions. Staff were very friendly and attentive.More

Awesome staff awesome food and a good vibe! Definitely a go to if your in Nelson!! Ribs and fried chicken were absolute fire! 🥵

For the past years we have enjoyed delicious economical lunch dinners most Sundays, and are always greeted with enthusiasm and our food and drinks have always been consistently excellent, no matter who we were accompanied by, children or adults. Our guests were always catered for,...with attention and their particular needs met. We can give the highest recommendation for this restaurant.More

Great food, super friendly and helpful staff. It was a wonderful night out. I really recommend Smugglers 🙂

We went to the Smugglers pub and cafe on our holiday to Nelson. I read a few reviews who related it highly. They weren’t exaggerating. The food was amazing with the beef brisket to die for and the fried chicken just so crispy. We also...had great service and the kids enjoyed the kids cocktails. All on all highly recommendedMore
