Not our normal sort of eatery but was delighted to come across this little gem.
We had the $10 serve for dinner. You get to select your own and they serve. The beef cheek, the mea5 balls and also the roast lamb were amazing. So much so we came back the next day.
Casual dining at its best.

Delicious food and good service in a casual and obviously popular cafe on lakefront Wanaka. The slow cooked lamb and salads were both super tasty and portions sizes were good. Will be back when next in town.

Excellent food, excellent value for money! Really like the easy-going vibe of this place, and the food is just great. Particularly good choice for those with a gluten-intolerance, almost everything is GF, including the delicious selection of cakes.

After driving from Queenstown to Wanaka and we are ready for a break. We stopover for a coffee break and visit Wanaka lake. A quick check on trip advisor and saw the popularity of this café. We had a snack, drinks, and it was great. They have a great atmosphere and lovely staff. We have highly recommended.

This is a cafeteria, with a number of warm dishes to ppick from. They are well-prepared and tasty and you can choose the serving size out of three options. It is also a very good cafe, with espresso, drip coffee and a number of cold beverages to accompany your meal. There is no table service. Prices are just right for this type of establishment.
