Not as good as we expected

We (group of 4) had the selfmade bread as a starter (quite nice) followed by the lamb rack, which was the reason why we were there. Pretty disappointing. It was a very small portion and the potato side that came with it tasted like it...More

Very good lamb curry

Difficult to choose between this and Shawty’s, the only other good quality restaurant in this small town. We were not disappointed and enjoyed a very good meal. I would definitely recommend this.

Thank oykel

Hi there, thank you for your review, glad you enjoyed the yummy curry. Hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful food at Poppies Cafe

Ate dinner there two nights and was delighted with the food both nights. Also great coffee open 8 am. If we’d stayed in Twizel another night, we would’ve gone to Poppies again for dinner and tried a breakfast. The breakfast menu looked fabulous.

Thank Joe & Judith M

Hi Jo and Judith, thanks for your great review, shame you were not in Twizel another night but hope to see you back in Twizel at some point so you can sample the breakfast menu!

All the wait staff was lovely and the deconstructed cheesecake was the best cheesecake we’ve ever had. Unfortunately all three of us ordered the lamb which was undercooked and tough.More
