Review Salmon Tales Cafe - Rakaia

Toilets good. Atmosphere great and food very good. Probably a 5 but fellow diner did not like his pizza as much as I did. Service friendly and fast. Doing things for the community and hard to miss from road as next to a giant Salmon at Rakiaia..

Nice, spacious and cozy cafe. Food is great, we had the bacon & eggs and salmon pies with two latte. Prices are reasonable with the final bill coming up to NZD28. The best thing? The staff are really friendly and helpful!

Salmon tales is very mediocre. Although the cabinet food is delicious, I have tried most breakfast menu items and have found them to be very standard and some undersized for cost. It's definitely still worth the stop for a snack. The milkshakes a well worth it

We stopped in for a coffee and a bite of something for a quick lunch. The people were nice and the plantings around the pond have matured since we were last here.

Stopped here for lunch on Saturday and had a lovely meal We had Salmon and chips and a cooked breakfast. They were delicious. The service was friendly and efficient. Prices were responsible. Will be back. Thanks again

salmon pie rly great！Luckily got the last one of that day. And cute cup of coffee，love it.

Great country cafe with a nice lakeside setting. Friendly service with a full range of cafe style food 😊

Best fish n chips! Willie and the team offer great food @an excellent price. Look out for the giant salmon on the side of the road. You can even have a cheeky wee glass with your meal

This could be the perfect cafe for travellers. It's big (so you can find somewhere to sit), reasonable food and coffee, toilets (and clean public toilets outside), friendly staff, is near a place kids can play - and is easily find-able because of the nearby giant salmon.

Outstanding and friendly service, their coffee owe my gosh the Mocha is to die for. Highly recommend this cafe as a must stop and dine in on the go

The Salmon Tales Cafe is a nice place to stop if you are on your way to christchurch, or like me, on the way to Mount Sunday. There is a nice souvenir shop and the restaurant has inside and outside seating. Especially on a nice day it is worth it to sit outside. They have great coffees that you can also buy as take away. A lot of choices for food and loved my Salmon sandwich. Too bad they did not have Salmon chowder

Simple restaurant. We tried the salmon fish & chips and pan fried salmon. Very fresh salmon. 1st time eating a salmon fish & chips. Taste is as good as usual cod fish.

Great staff great food. So many more things I want to try. This will be a must stop cafe every time I pass it.

Wonderful meals and Amazing Service on Friday Night 🥳 Thanks Salmon Tales Team for a great night out 👍

Great stopover for a coffee and I didn’t expect the food was great
