I loved this place!! The food was excellent and so was the atmosphere! That was the first eggs benedict ive ever had and I fell in love! Nothing has compared since anywhere else! I will definitely go again if im ever visiting NZ!! I wish we had one in Alabama! L<3VE this place!!
Arrived on a busy night. Staff were quite nice & knowledgeable! Food was excellent! We had duck, ribeye & cod. All quite good! Have to recommend the garlic bread with cheese to start.
This is a gorgeous place on the main street, and perfect to sit outside and people watch. I came here for brunch and ordered the courgette and halloumi fritters. It was delicious. I wish I had stayed in Wanaka a little longer, because I definitely would have tried a few more items off this menu. Will come back again.
Great staff, very polite and welcoming 👍🏼 I ordered an ice coffee and it was pretty good. If you don’t want it too bitter I recommend mixing it first then drinking as there is vanilla ice cream inside. Sitting here as everyone is ordering breakfast and I can say that the food looks good!!!! Everyone seems to enjoy it! So I’ll probably come back 🤗
Absolutely delicious dinner. Great menu, amazing food. Lots of flavour. Both mains and desserts we ordered exceeded expectations. Friendly service. Highly recommend.
Our favourite cafe for a cafe and a really cheesy scone.Interesting lunch food. A friendly vibe, sheepskins on the outside chairs. They even gave us a mat for our dog to sit on.
One of a handful of cafes on Ardmore Street, definitely worth trying. A fairly standard menu for a cafe in a standard cafe space.
I had the smoked salmon on potato with a poached egg. The dish was well done and presented well. All topped off with a good coffee as well.
Delightful cafe overlooking the lake! Headed in for brunch around 11.30 and it was almost full. We ordered a bowl of lime buttered edamame beans to share and I had the special of the day veggie pasta with sundried tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini. The pasta was so flavoursome but a tad oily. Really large serving as well. The beans were so delicious! The citrus flavour complimented with the creamy buttery taste so well and again we had such a good bowl we couldn’t finish them. Really great cafe with a good menu including a good range of veggie options. If you’re in town I’d highly recommend a visit!
Although there are plenty of cafes around the lake we were lucky enough to find this one. Reasonably busy we found a table outside with views of the mountains and lake insight – perfect for out of towners! It’s not often we get this back home (Auckland). We ordered the eggs bene with mushrooms (with a side of avo and haloumi) and the Smashed edamame and avocado on grainy toast with pomegranate and haloumi. Both dishes were great. Loved the smashed avo and edamame combo! All the flavours worked well together and perfectly topped off with the pomegranate seeds. My partner enjoyed the eggs bene. The eggs were done perfectly. The service was great! Our food arrived promptly and the staff were really friendly. The café had a nice chilled and relaxed vibe to it. If we lived in Wanaka this would be our local for sure!
The food at Relishes cafe was delicious and generous. The staff were friendly and the restaurant has a good ambience, with some dim lighting.
It was our first trip to Wanaka and we wanted to try the Seafood Chowder and it was delicious, very hearty and full of seafood pieces. The bread was crunchy and came with a generous amount of butter.
It was the perfect start to a very chilly evening.
My partner had the Rib Eye Steak with the Kumara and veggie bake and brocholini with Blue Cheese the steak was cooked medium rare Perfectly. He enjoyed everything on the plate.
I Ordered the Char Siu Aoraki Salmon with Soba noodles, edamame and the smoked salmon wontons. The salmon was cooked perfectly with pinky flesh through the middle. The salmon skin was Cripsy with a subtle sweetness from the char sui marinade. The soba noodles and the Wonton accompanied the salmon nicely.
Overall, it was a great dining experience for both mt Partner and I. We will definitely come back with our families.
Relishes is a lovely little spot on the popular cafe strip in Wanaka. Decor was nice and cosy, as was the fireplace! Breakfast was very well presented and pretty delish - would have been even better if the ciabatta was a little more toasted ;) Staff are very welcoming and attentive. They accidentally fried rather than poached my eggs so gave me the option to redo it, but I was happy (good communication!) - as long as my yolk is runny I'm a happy camper :)
We always stop by in Relishes Cafe whenever we are in Wanaka. The Seafood chowder and Garlic Mozzarella Bread was superb and not to mentioned the view outside. ❤️ will come back for sure..
Love from Indonesia
Food was delicious. Staff were very lovely and offered my 2yo son toys as soon as we walked in, very friendly.
Having a stroll along the Main Street looking for a lunch spot. This cute little spot with a few tables outside and a number of mixed size tables inside.
We ordered the Roti Goaty and Fried chicken with slaw.
The Roti was full of flavour and fresh roti was just what the overcast winter mood required.
The Berry smoothie was thee perfect tarty balance with sweetness.
The slaw with the friend chicken was exceptional.
A great place to pause for lunch
Great food, loved the coffee!
Serving staff were super friendly, Nat in particular was a gem, she was SO happy to make menu choice recommendations that were incredibly solid!
We enjoyed the big brekky X 2, some excellent coffee that was good and strong and finished off with some tasty sweeties with our second coffees.
Place had great views of the lake and mountains if you were happy to brave the cold, outside, we weren't and chose to sit by the open fire....
Great for young families and all comer atmosphere, full of happy servers and great food. Should be more than a 4.5 Google ranking in my view....
I love Relishes in Wanaka. Some artwork or the funky tape display are some of the things to admire while you enjoy the flavoursome food, the tasty coffee, and the lovely service. Look forward to when I'm back in Wanaka to experience breakfast there again.
Absolutely delicious lunch at Relishes. Between our group had the chorizo and prawn salad, seafood chowder, green goddess salad and Buddha bowl - all fantastic!
Really delicious food (fresh, seasoning good), nice service, feeling comfortable 👍
fast and friendly service. food was pretty good. impressive rest rooms too. parking is available right outside.
Very good breakfast with gluten free friendly options! Service was fast, staff was friendly. I got the eggs Benedict, which was delicious and had perfectly poached eggs.
Delicious food with very friendly staff. The cook let us order the lunch menu even though it was supposed to be the breakfast menu. It was very busy but we didn't have to wait long. The table service was great and the food very affordable.
Great food and service! The staff is very kind (shoutout to Sophie our server!) and the food was wonderful. We got the goaty roaty and seafood clam chowder and both were great. The Berry and white chocolate crumble is also a must!!
