We can’t thank John and his amazing crew for taking care of the catering for our wedding last week. Nothing was a problem, so easy to deal with and food was nothing short of amazing! Many saying it’s the best food they have ever had at a wedding. 148 people and you guys nailed it! Thank you so so much x
Wonderful meal and consistently great
great tasting coffee, awesome cheese scones, peaceful surroundings and a friendly cat! Finally ive found a cafe that serves great coffee AND food, its usually one or the other. Had a lovely break there yesterday relaxing. Will definately be back!
We stopped in for a morning coffee and were warmly greeted by the staff. The atmosphere is cosy with a fireplace inside and lush gardens outside. It's a beautiful spot for a meal. Cakes looked dinive. We enjoyed our coffees and the friendly service that came with them.
Went there today, was a lovely meal although I doubted the terakihi freshness. The worse thing about the meal was the hair my friend found in her food. Also the flys were terrible there, should have been sprayed before the customers came in.
Love this place on a nice summers day, awesome atmosphere staff are great every time have been not once have we been disappointed in the food, highly recommend this place. Love the calamari slice and the open focaccia sandwich.
Cheers and keep up the good work
I love Grape Escape which I found while looking for the best eggs Benedict in Nelson! We live in Picton, and had spent the night in nelson so going out for a nice breakfast/lunch was on! I travel all over NZ for my job and I do taste every eggs Benedict with salmon I can in every town and have only come up with one in NZ and that is fantastic every time in Blenheim, now there are two places that are just mouth watering and you always want more and more!!! My eggs Benedict with salmon was absolutely fantastic and above all was the best I've had next to Blenheim's, when paying for this perfect meal I couldn't help but look at the gorgeous Cesar Salad exiting the kitchen and yes I wanted more!!! We will be back and I give Grape Escape a AAAAA+++++ rating for the most comfortable atmosphere and beautiful, quality of food, and beverages!! in Nelson. Thank you all so much for the gorgeous Kiwi hospitality!
We had friends visiting from overseas and wanted to take them somewhere nice for Sunday brunch. I'd had lunch at the Grape Escape before and thought it would be the ideal place -- great atmosphere, beautiful cozy garden setting near vineyards, and excellent food.
We had a wonderful time and a delicious, relaxing meal served by very attentive and professional staff.
Highly recommended!
Absolutely love the vibes of this cafe. The staff were really friendly and approachable. Food was really good too. Too many things we wanted to try but too little space in our tummies.
Will definitely be back if we are in the area again! :)
Definitely decoration and the gardens are the high point of this place, certainly there is room to improve service. Food is good overall as my companion have ordered nhoque and said was very good but my vegetarian breakfast was not so great. Plenty of parking as this is almost a mall with a couple of shops and coffee shop.
What a beautiful cafe. The gardens are just gorgeous. We had the chicken roulade and the pulled pork ciabatta. Roulade was lovely but the veg was overcooked and not crunch. The pulled pork was delicious, especially the dough dough bread. Citrus tart was lovely and the lemon and lavender cake was amazing
Gorgeous gardens to sit in the sun or shade. Loved the cake selection. Had an iced coffee with almond milk and it was great. Kids played on the playground and across on the nearby one next to the vege shop too. Kept them busy.
Amazing menu, lovely setting. we had a ploughman's lunch , prawn and kamara fritters, and coconut fish. All were amazing.
The Grape Escape Team did well catering for our wedding. Thank you so much Nicki and Brad. Hannes and I truly loved the outcome, from set up to food. Easy communication and very accommodating. Can't think of anyone who would have done better that day. We made the right decision choosing your business.
Thank you for the customised SUNSET BOOYSE MOCKTAIL. It was so refreshing. The cake was amazing. I love the 3 tiered - 3 flavours. We enjoyed the food and we heard good feedback from our guests too.
We are so grateful for all your help in making our wedding a remarkable one.
All the best for your business moving forward and until next event.
Blessings!
We went for a family lunch today for a bithday. Some of us had been before and some hadn't. The food was fantastic (again)!! We booked a table and I wish I had asked to be seated at one of the garden tables as it was such a lovely day. Instead we were on the patio area which unfortunately had a cold breeze and was very loud. Overall would recommend and we will definitely go again!
Fantastic lunch of chicken roulade and arancini today. Super coffee and very special home made kids meals.
Absolutely loved it. Keep up the fine table service as well.
We'll be back.
Awesome place to spend time with good meals. Although it’s raining day, it was relaxing. Highly recommended
Lovey spot for lunch with friend on a sunny day. The gardens are a lovely place to sit and enjoy both the sunshine and the great food this place has on offer. I really enjoyed the venison pie! Good size portions and friendly staff combined with a great local cider makes for a very pleasant time indeed!
If you are cycling the great taste trail, this place is worth the short detour from the track for a bite to eat!
