    This may have been the only place open for dinner. It had a lot of cars in the parking lot and was…read moreclose to where we are staying. We walked thoughts bar side with a lot of people and a commotion going on. We found out it was horse racing. We worked our way to the dining room side where it was not busy and finally someone showed us a table with menus. Our server was very nice but was managing the dining orders plus the bar side. She definitely needed help. We started with shoestring fries and an Apple Cider on tap. I ordered the Beef Cheeks and my husband ordered the Pasta Carbonara as entrees. They were both really good. My beef was so tender that I cleaned my place . I'm glad we hiked today.

    Haven't had any bad food in Fox Glacier, but White Pub was the best of the four places we sampled…read more May have been a dollar or two more than other Fox restaurants for a similar dish but you definitely get quality for that extra dollar! Servers were friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient; food came quickly, and the place had a great, social vibe. There's a lively pool table in the bar area. You know it's good when the classy locals hang at the bar (as opposed to the local who's drunk at 1:00pm on a Monday and hitting on the waitress...which we witnessed at another place in Fox). My wife loved that the whole place was warm. Good, free WiFi. And delicious dessert!!

We tried the bait fish omelette appetizer. It was amazing with the mayo sauce on it. Actually not so great without it. For our mains, we had the bangers and mash and the pork ribs. I would recommend the bangers and mash, but not the pork ribs. They were dried out, overly drenched in sauce on a bed of french fries. The french fries were fine, but not my favorite type and became soggy quickly with all the barbecue sauce. I definitely would not order the ribs again. For dessert we had the sticky pudding and it was excellent. A good variety of wine and beer choices. We recommend the Alice May export gold beer and the Villa Maria Pinot Noir.

    It's got kind of a mix of different foods. The story of the restaurant is cool. The placemats…read moreexplained the namesake of the restaurant. We had the pan roasted chicken breast and the bangers and mash. The chicken breast was really, really dry and tough. I loved the abundance of accompanying vegetables though. Taste was average. The venison bangers were better. Not too gamey. Service was a little inefficient. The servers didn't have assigned tables. We had about 4 different servers helping us at various times. They were all really nice but seemed to be running around helping whomever they see.

    Located attached to an old church and settled inside an old meeting hall/reception venue/sunday…read moreschool classroom, Zest offers a modern spot to enjoy a classic pizza. The wall decor features local artists with paintings of local Timaru vistas and all are for sale. The paint color is a relaxing purple-grey hue with feature walls of lime green which really brightens the large room, but the space is so vast the setting is more casual than intimate; perfect for brunch with the family or lunch with friends. The outdoor patio area was bustling with cyclists taking a break for a caffeine pick-me-up. Zest is a pizza restaurant and cafe so you can enjoy quick cafe sandwiches and coffee or sit down for an extended meal from their restaurant menu. They are most known for their pizzas, which are more of a thin crust style and come loaded with the toppings you select. They will gladly do a half and half pizza for $2 extra. One regular pizza is definitely enough slices for sharing. Mark and I split the Greek and Zest Favourite. The Greek (tomato base) has fresh roasted garlic, feta cheese, olives, chunky tomatoes, red onions and spinach and is topped with sour cream and parmesan. It is AMAZING and refreshing. The Zest Favourite has chicken, red onions, capsicums, cranberry sauce and Brie. Yum, yum, yum! but is a little more savoury than the Greek. The cranberry sauce is not overpowering as I was expecting, but is delicate and hardly noticeable. This pizza is also tomato-based. Not in the mood for pizza? Zest also has pastas or other mains to consider. Not to mention entrees or their desserts (unfortunately we were coming straight from the Cadbury Factory so we just stuck to the proteins). Zest has an extensive wine list and a moderate beer selection. The wines are mostly local NZ with some Australian selections and the beer is all NZ local. If you're in Timaru, or just passing through, I recommend stopping here for a quick bite for lunch or dinner.

    Delicious salad and pizza! We got the vegetarian pizza and veggie salad and both were fantastic!…read moreThe only reason one star short is for desserts. They were good, but not nearly as good as the main dishes we got. We ordered carrot cake and the Neapolitan cheesecake. The staff was so kind and helped me choose a sweet Riesling wine which I would recommend! Definitely worth it to try for lunch or dinner, as we really loved our time here :)
