Best places: Restaurants in Nelson, New Zealand

👍👍 We decided to grab a slice while passing by this unassuming pizza place, and it turned out to be one of the best pizza that we have had in NZ. We love the base, the sauce, even the chili oil ! Service was very friendly. It’s a shame that the restaurant was already closed when we came back later that...

Sophisticated, seasonal NZ plates & wine offered in a cozy, historic interior with a brick patio.

Airy, hip stop for tapas style dishes, ceviche style fish tacos, sliders & oysters plus a wine bar.

😐 Had a butter chicken and my wife had mango chicken. Both were very sweet. I couldn't finish mine due to the sugar but wasn't too bad in the mango chicken. Staff were friendly and the restaurant is tidy. Only reason I won't be back is the sweetness of the food that disguises all the flavours it shoul...

👍👍 Our favourite restaurant 🙌, We're regulars and absolutely love this food, definately Thai with a twist. Different to other Thai Restaurants, they definately take it to the next level. If you haven't been, its a must try, will leave you coming back for more 😋

😠 We have high expectations of this place. What we ordered were let down. The garlic bread was too hard while the pesto was too salty. The service went fine though. Updated: You replied after a month, you could have made a gazillion of pesto after my visit hence the taste is not the same. You're such...

👍👍 Hawker House is absolutely brilliant. Cozy warm and yummy place in the heart of Nelson. Thank you Hawker House team, awesome job!

👍👍 An Italian highlight for Nelsonians. This place deserves a visit with friends. Dont look at the menu, just ask what they've got and enjoy the unique evening with your Italian host and entertainer...I mean your Italian Cheff. Extra-ordinary.

👍👍 Nipped in for dessert and a coffee, fantastic service and food was excellent. We had the cheesecake. A very popular restaurant so would recommend booking in advance.

👍👍 So good, so filling, and great value for money, would recommend to anyone as a essential burger destination. Thanks team, I really enjoyed the meal.

🫤 We visited this restaurant for lunch on Saturday, we were walk in customers looking for a simple lunch so we did not have high expectations. Just after a simple lunch. The lady who seated us was really great, offered us menus and water etc, got us drinks and everything was going great. We ordered o...

👍👍 I work nearby and chose to come here often for lunch. The service is always awesome, the atmosphere is lovely, the prices are affordable, and most importantly the dumplings are always fresh, hot and beyond delicious. Jay's is the talk of town. Every local I know who has been loves Jay's Dumplings. W...

👍👍 We came here for breakfast and it was a GREAT choice. The place does music stuff in the evenings so when you walk in for breakfast it's like walking onto a movie set. Lots of green plants (the place used to be a garden centre) a stage with red velvet curtains, theatre doors etc. Very nice vibe. We h...

👍👍 Good food and great value. I could tell this restaurant is very popular among the locals. We were seated outside because inside was full and packed. I ordered Small Korra Shish Kebab served with rice, salad and pasta. For a small order, it's still a big serving. The Kofta was delicious and my part...

👍👍 Wow! What a stunning place! The interior is creative and there's is always something to look at. The service was a amazing. Duty manager was a bloody good bloke. Great selection of beer on tap and the food was perfect. Highly recommend!!!!

Upscale, globally influenced dishes served in a relaxed space on a dock over the water.

👍👍 Most amazing selection of fresh sushi that I've seen in ages! Beautiful fresh tuna and salmon and generous portions. Creative combos, I was honestly very impressed. Coffee shop next door was a bonus too!

👍👍 we had pad thai and nasi goreng. Krua bangkok is one of the best Thai restaurants in NZ, even better than fine dining restaurants. Highly recommended and will go back there again for sure. Thank you.

👍👍 Food: Fresh. Local. Seasonal. Modern and creative flavour combinations that showcase the hero ingredient perfectly. Service: Inviting. Knowledgeable. Polished. The team strike just the right balance of personable and professional. We felt relaxed and attended to at all the right moments. Brick Eat...

👍👍 We originally lived in Shanghai. My son and I are visiting from Auckland for the holidays. The space is large and the interior design is simple. The staff are very enthusiastic and have high vibrant. The menu is very simple, but every dish can feel the chef's heart. The bread is crispy on one s...
