    Stopped here for lunch and had a great meal. I had the lamb salad and my husband had the chicken…read moresandwich. Both were very good. They have tons of seating both inside and out with a nice view of the lake. You order at the counter and take a number for your table and they bring your food to you. Nice staff.

    We were walking around the main strip of Wanaka and spotted a few happy hour signs. Alchemy was one…read moreof them; happy hour is from 5:00pm to 6:00pm ($7.00 wines and beer on tap). We dropped in on an early Monday evening (just before 6:00pm) to take advantage of happy hour. The place is beautiful with a few tables outside to people watch and enjoy the lake view. Otherwise, there's tons of seating inside with hipster light bulbs, a fireplace and old vintage equipment as decor. The dinner menu is split into share plates, mains, sides and kids. The pasta of the day was a seafood linguini ($25.00 NZD). We saw a few mains come out to neighbouring tables that looked appetizing. Same with the coffee, which most tables ordered. There's also a separate dessert menu. The Alchemy dessert platter ($18.00 NZD) sounded promising. Nice touch with the complimentary sparkling and tap water. Only lame thing here is that wifi stops working at 6:00pm. Er... - Crater Rim Waipara riesling ($7.00 NZD) - sweet but not overly so. It's regular $11.00 NZD for a glass. - Soljan Estate Reserve Hawkes Bay syrah ($7.00 NZD) - a little drier finish. Decent. We only came for drinks but the food looked pretty legit. Chill, relaxed vibe.
