Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Called in for breakfast. We ordered granola and yoghurt as wanted something quick. OMG the bowl presented was more like a fruit bowl rather than a breakfast bowl. It was huge but packed with delicious yogurt, fruit compote and of course toasted granola. Absolutely delicious....Also had coffee which set us up both lovely for a hard days hiking. Thank you!More

My wife had a chicken kebab with satay sauce and I had a chicken nasi goreng. In both cases the chicken was very rubbery to eat. We reckoned it was not cooked fresh, although the waiter insisted it had been. In any case it was...mot nice to eat.More

The food was so great we went here three times while on our Franz Joseph getaway. Thai salad was the best I've ever had, curries were excellent and berry smoothie was 👍

After a too short night, and before going to a full day of hiking adventures around the glacier, I felt I needed a good breakfast I looked around and SnakeBite Brewery looks the most appealing Very good move: They actually have plenty of food and...drinks options To eat I had a flute -a type of baguette- bacon, brie and pesto And also a "rocky road" sweet slice To drink I went for a "super berry" smoothie (acai -which is a superfood-, raspberries, blueberries, mint, cranberry juice) Everything I had was super yummy & felt super healthy, loved loved it Also, the place is big, with lots of tables and seats, including outside with sunshades that make it like a veranda It opens early, and closes late, very convenient Also, staff is well friendly, I could even leave my bulky backpack there for the day so I could hike (much) more easily Highly recommended!More

Lovely staff and amazing food and the staff and service were fantastic too! We had the Panang Currie. It was unreal! I’m a bit of a self-proclaimed Currie master and this far exceeded expectations. Thank you for an excellent dining experience!

Ate here with family and had possibly the best stir fry noodles I have ever eaten. Every meal was incredible and the portion sizes were HUGE- the duck noodle soup was served in the biggest bowl I’ve ever seen! Brilliant value for money. We all...had plenty of leftovers to take home and it was absolutely delicious meal. Would love to eat here againMore

Somewhat of a craft beer bar, there were several beers on keg to choose from. The cuisine here is pub dining, crossed with an oriental cusine. Thus a lot of Asian dishes are available. I went for tempura squid. It was OK, but very heavy...handed. The batter was not the expected light & delicate tempura, but a rather solid breadcrumb-type coating. Maybe other dishes would be better.More
