Review The Apple Shed Cafe & Bar - Mapua

Always a pleasure and tonight was no different. Food and service is first class.

Incredible spot next to the water near Abel Tasman! Everything was delicious and flavorful

Had a really nice lunch here on a beautiful sunny day. It's a busy spot but the staff did a good job of fitting us in, as we didn't book (but I get the feeling we were lucky and you should book). Our food was pretty good, some of the ingredients in a couple dishes were quite bizarre (king fish and salmon I'm looking at you) but not bad! Service was great, drinks and meals came out fairly promptly, and overall we had a great time!

Large group of us for our coffees. Well done for the fast service and great coffee. May God bless this place!

Great place on the wharf for dinner. Varied menu offering superb meat,fish,and vegetarian options. Fairly priced and interesting wine list as well. Great views of the boats on the water as you dine.

A recent turn around and a fresh menu has given this seaside establishment a great kick. The staff from the start were pleasant, informative and chatty. Even offering wine tasting! Good menu options offering local seafoods but not to many that you become overwhelmed. Hot chips and aioli are always a favourite. Gnocchi was lovely as was for the chicken and seafood soup. Soup could have been a little hotter. The garlic bread accompanied was delicious with a generous lathering of both garlic and butter. The surrounding are great for both dining in and outdoors. Desirable tables are located indoors by the windows above the water inlet. Plenty of parking however I suspect over the busy summer season this could change. Overall, reasonably priced delicious food served with smile. Keep it up!

A late lunch after picking Mum up from Nelson Airport. Lovely, fresh and delicious food. We dined inside although it was a stunning day, the seating inside was better for my Mum.

Booking was pretty easy and the staff were friendly. When we had dinner at this place, it was a Tuesday evening and it took us forever for our food to be served. There were 5 of us. There were only 3 tables of 4-6 people dining but the kitchen was slow with the food service. Another thing to consider is visiting this place when you can still see the wharf as I reckon that this is the selling point of this place. Food was average, serving is in small portions but prices are $$. I love that their toilets are clean and smelling fresh!! Wine list was also average. Ambience is 5-star but the speed of service was a let-down 😔

Nice ambience in a beautiful setting by the waterfront . Waiters were attentive and food was presented well and tasty. Good selection of local beers/ciders/wine .

Lovely place for a meal beside the river mouth with amazing views... very friendly and professional staff and service. The tuna was delicious! They have their very own apple cider too.

One of the best meals I've had in New Zealand! Great service, lovely staff! If you're reading these reviews to decided whether to try it or not, stop reading now and book yourself a table!

This is a must visit when in Nelson...food was superb, staff were great, location is special for a group dinner night or lunch for two...great to have the option of inside or out door dining. Recommended if you are a foodie...all dishes were done to perfection.

Awesome place to enjoy the sunshine. The food was great, and the service was professional and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Beautiful food, service was great(lady had great banter and a nice smile). Very pleased with everything 😀

Fantastic staff, amazing food! Awesome menu, gorgeous views!!!

The prices for serving sizes were good. There's a lot of large tables outside so it's good for big groups and families.

I have had some really nice meals, well prepared and tasty, but, 4 scallops can hardly be called a meal, way too expensive too.
