Found Deville through good reviews when looking for breakfast the morning we were leaving Nelson…read moreand heading to Abel Tasman. We parked and ordered at the front- I got the French toast, food was delivered in a timely manner. The French toast was so fluffy- I enjoyed it because the berry compost balanced out the sweetness. I didn't even need the syrup. I got myself a to go box so I could enjoy the rest of the French toast on the beach. Overall- seems like your average brunch spot. Loved that it's open concept and half the seating is uncovered.

Very fairly priced and delicious fresh toppings. We really liked the Cowpat - just classic toppings you can't go wrong with. I loved their lamb burger too! My partner got the Hau and felt it was too big, too much on top, and too many flavors. Their fries were delicious, and their chicken nuggets were seriously just like McD's - but better. The owners/team cooking onsite couldn't be nicer - just truly genuine locals happy to serve. They have soda, drinks and desserts for sale in the fridges onsite too. You'll find communal picnic table seating onsite as well. Can't recommend them enough after a big day hiking Abel Tasman!

Don't visit this place during busy times. They take on way too many customers/tables than they can…read moreservice. We ordered just two dishes. Oysters, which doesn't require cooking, and one hot dish. The oysters came out after 10 mins, as expected. But after more than a hour, and no second dish, we walked out as they repeatedly gave untrustworthy wait times. When we ordered, we were told a 30 minute wait. After 50 minutes of no dish, we enquired. Waitress talked to chef, came back with an exact 7 minutes needed. 12 minutes later, still no dish. Waitress goes to kitchen again, comes back with 2 minutes. Guess what happened when 2 minutes later passed... No offer to comp dishes or drinks while waiting, no sincere apologies. Just an excuse than "it's busy at the moment, food will take longer". So yeah, just don't go during busy times. Clearly too popular and they're treating it like a cash cow now. Oysters weren't actually that good. Small oysters, not juicy and tasty. We had oysters at another place in town the same day, and it was night and day.

Brand new to Motueka, Precinct Dining Co is an upmarket but unpretentious cafe restaurant offering…read moreall day dining from multiple menus. Precinct's mission is "bringing high quality dining to Motueka using fresh local produce, the region's great wines and artisan products". On our first visit I can pretty much say the've nailed nailed that right out of the box. We were in 'Mot', as the locals call it for a family Christmas and my partner Ryan's family had heard good things about the place but not been yet. On our last full day Ryan and I tried Precinct for brunch with our friend Hamish. We'll most certainly be back next time we are in town to try the lunch or evening fare. The breakfast menu offered the usual array of morning provisions; bacon and eggs, mushrooms on toast, salmon and an 'American Stack' of pancakes but probably because we were hungover all three of us immediately opted for 'The Real Deal' aka a big breakfast. The meals were fast and the service overall prompt. The food was very good and very nicely presented. Being Paleo I ditched the toast which was extraneous anyway really as the potato hash cake was more than adequate. According to Ryan the coffee was great and my peppermint tea was excellent and impressively presented with teapot, cup and saucer with an information card about the tea. The lunch and dinner menus feature items such as burgers and sliders, pulled pork, terrine, steaks, seafood and salads. All sound great and as promised, sourced as locally as possible. There's even a separate brunch menu which comes on mid morning and into the afternoon incase lunch goers fancy something more breakfast like. Now that's service. There's also a bites menu. So when in Mot... Do as the locals will soon be doing. Go to Precinct!
