Nice little local pub down the Rapahoe beach. Great amazing view…read more The service is what you expect from a small town pub. Cheap drinks and food. Has a typical pub menu, burgers, wings, chips, etc. monteith's on tap. The burger came highly recommended. Not bad for the price I thought. Good size, well cooked, but as expected no 'wow' factor to it. To my surprise there is free wifi!! Not sure why you need it there but I guess cellphone reception is very intermittent so Internet becomes handy. Would come back here again for the view. It's right down the beach and close to Point Elizabeth walkway.

This was a very lamb heavy meal. And I'd say 4 stars for both entrees, but would skip the lamb…read morewontons. Just because you can fry something in a wonton skin, doesn't mean you should. It was underwhelming. But the lamb shank was great!! And we choose the "potato of the day" which was a cheesy, garlicy mess of deliciousness on the plate! The lamb salad had a nice yogurt dressing, lots of good veggies and feta cheese and the lamb was rare as requested. Overall eat lamb as intended here, and you'll be in good shape. We also both liked our beer and wine selections too.

After a long drive from Nelson, we arrived into sleepy Greymouth and immediately looked for a place…read moreto grab dinner. Not going to lie, there's not much choice. We settled on Zaika, a Moroccan restaurant. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 7:30pm) to a packed house. The inside has a strange layout; they don't make full use of their space very well. Service is friendly enough but they were running around and seemed to forget about us. Pay at the counter when you're done. The menu is split into starters, Zaika bowls, Zaika wraps, pita pocket, Zaika salad, kid's meals and a royal platter. The platter ($49.90 NZD) sounded tasty and a good way to share. - Wedges ($5.00 NZD) - this was actually a good portion size. Decent seasoning and most of the wedges were crispy. The sauce/aioli was neutral but tasteless. - Grilled fish Zaika bowl ($17.50 NZD) - we decided to share a bowl and asked for half Arabic rice and half couscous. For the salads, we picked corn salsa, grilled vege and carrots & beet. Sauce was hummus but it was different than what we expected. They mixed it in with the rest of the ingredients. We also got our bowl medium spicy but it was only in the tiniest manner. Fish was perfectly grilled but it was soooooo salty. Sad because it ruined the flavours. Everything else was tasty and nutritious. Try the lamb instead (our second choice).

We came to the Raceway Carvery (inside the Union Hotel) to check it out. We weren't sure what to…read moreexpect as little information is available on the web. There is a sign on the outside of the Union Hotel to indicate price ranges, but as it turns out its actually cheaper than that sign indicates. The building is an old style hotel. You enter first to the bar area. Keep walking and you enter the carvery. I would describe it was a no nonsense old fashioned comfort food spot. The menu is on the wall above a counter where they take your order. They have roasts (generally beef), lamb, fish, and schnitzel with 2 prices for smaller (about $15) and regular portion sizes. For some reason under their lighter meals, they have pork chops. Anyway, read the whole thing before deciding. Hot soup, vegetable with rice the day we were there, comes with getting a meal $15 NZ or more. You get a choice of vegetables or salad and chips. We ordered smaller portions of fish with veg and beef roast with veg. You're given a numbered order tag. You are to watch for your number to come up. Then you go pick up your meal. You get drinks back out at the bar. Pick up your silverware and napkins on the way to your table. Our meals arrived and they were just the right portion size for us. The veg consisted of steamed carrots, corn, and cabbage and a hunk of roasted kabocha squash. It was a nice change from chips. The fish was fried flavorful firm white fish. The beef was tender with a nice gravy. It was obvious that this was a local place. There were families with children eating there that greeted friends. There were young travelers that were staying at the hostel and eating inexpensively there. It's just good food served simply without frills. There is dessert. Their dessert board listed cheesecake, pavlova, fresh boysenberries with cream, and ice cream. We went for ice cream. A scoop of Tip Top ice cream topped with a big dollop of fresh homemade whipped cream cost a whopping $1 NZ. That is the best deal EVER. If they have boysenberry ice cream, get it. It is delicious. The serving ladies said they are open 7 days for lunch and dinner.
