My wife had the prawn balls and noodle salad. She loved. Vibe. Vibe was very casual with both indoor and outdoor seating. Beer. Had 2 of the Whole Lotta Lettuce. It was the best IPA I have had in New Zealand. Very crisp and hoppy.

I opted for the fusion fish and chips, as I've been eating a ton of red meat lately and needed to give the underwater food chain their time to shine. What made this dish fusion was the fish was battered in sake. Honestly, I couldn't taste the difference but the portions they give you are huge! I was starving when I arrived but when I saw how gigantic the dish was, I did a double take and had to prepare my stomach for the impending battle. Overall, a good dinner and it satisfied me wholly. But it's definitely a big dish restaurant in a small pond.

The burger was delicious. The ground lamb patty was topped with melty Brie, creamy aioli, crisp lettuce, fried onion rings, and pickled jalapenos. The burger was paired with soft thick fries. I stole a decent portion of my wife's dish since she wasn't too hungry. Savory noodles were mixed with tender shredded pork, juicy mushrooms, and fresh basil and covered in a lightly creamy and peppery sauce.

We ordered fish and chips, ham and cheese toasty and the brisket burger. The burger was generous and juicy but a bit sweet. The fish was flaky and delicious. The toasty was perfectly crisp and had ooey gooey cheese! All in all a good experience.

Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, you really can't go wrong here. We opted for dinner and needed a reservation as it is a popular place in town. It was the perfect choice to see the sunset over the glacier. If staying in town for the night, this is the way to go. Food was just as good as the locals said it would be. Service was quick and our server was very attentive and checked in with us often. Everything here was fantastic. The only thing (not the cafe's fault) is the bugs around sunset and once the sun goes down are very annoying. After sunset, we along with the other guests at nearby tables all requested to move inside to enjoy the rest of our meal. They were use to this request and able to accommodate all of us right away.

But what would one expect from a bacon cheeseburger that adds pineapple, avocado and beetroot to its content? Aside from the cheese, every topping and condiment on that sandwich is slippery. The combination isn't one I'd experienced before, but I found it all well matched. And I was surprised to find all that content didn't overwhelm the flavor of the beef (though not by much). I might give even greater props, though, to the fries. Remember the perfect crispness of McDonald's fries when they were at their best? Take that fry quality but apply it to a chunkier, thicker cut of potato, and that's what you'll get at BurgerFuel. Delicious. I enjoyed this meal after some lengthy travels, and the restaurant is positioned well for air and road travelers, being just off State Highway 1 and only a short distance from CHC. Getting back to the sloppiness, it was only in the finishing bites of my meal that I realized the staff had provided me with a tool to help keep my burger together -- the nifty little Doofer, a pop-together burger keeper that my ignorance kept me from testing when I needed it most. Guess I'll have to stop in again and see how well it actually works.
