Some
of our eating experiences are covered elsewhere in the blog - Wellington Dockside, Amora Lake Resort, Hapuku Lodge, Punakaiki Resort.
No
trip to Kaikoura should be without trying Crayfish. While we stopped at Nin’s Bin on the way to Kaikoura – all the classic photos of the area include a
shot taken here – we didn’t get to sample the crayfish until a couple of lunchtimes
later, after we’d been whale watching. A short trip out of town along the peninsula
past Fyffes Wharf gave us the opportunity for a perfect lunch overlooking the
bay.
Another
of our must dos was the Queenstown Skyline restaurant buffet.
Before we’d set off for NZ we’d read a review that rated this as one of the
most stunning views for a dining experience in the world. We agreed. The food was
fine – better that Auckland’s Sky Tower – and combined with a window seat on a
glorious evening, we couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Our
last night was spent eating at the Three Rooms, Richmond, Nelson.
A very homely restaurant which was excellent value for money and a great place
for our last dinner. The next day we had a simple lunch at the Waimea Winery outside
Nelson, although we weren’t able to try the wine as we were driving. It seemed
bizarre to us Brits to be sitting in the shade, overlooking the vineyards,
while around us diners we enjoying their office Christmas lunches in shirt
sleeves.
