For a small town, it was great to find such a good restaurant. They clearly really cared about providing good food and drink. We really enjoyed it there, good value too, and will definitely go back if near Twizel again. Highly recommend it.

Wasn’t expecting the food here to be really good. Especially their desert is a must to order. Tried their desert for the first time cause was a bit hungry, and it turned out superb. We decided that we will get dinner the next day from here and it turned out excellent too.

Visited Poppies last night with a group of friends. The food was delicious especially the soup, local salmon and home made ravioli. The price was good too but the best part was the warm welcome and helpful service and advice from the staff. One even got her car and drove me to the place I was looking for. Fantastic service. Thanks again

This is the best place to go for a meal if you're in Twizel. Great service. Husband had the fillet steak which he could't fault and I had the gnocchi which was delicious. We shared the Poppie's special dessert which was fabulous. A lovely place to go.

We had a nice time at Poppies - unfortunately weren’t told the kids waffles weren’t on the menu anymore and were surprised when pancakes came out instead of a waffle. Unfortunately the pancakes meal for children was really small - more expensive than the kids toastie with much less food.

Otherwise the meal was pleasant and service was great!
