I have met Paul Hislop through CCSP NZ and got to tour his farm and learn more about his family's restaurant. Their customer service is always great. The breakfast is delicious. I recommend the hot cakes and eggs Benedict. This place is also great for when you need to get work done or have a work meeting at. The wifi is good.

We had the pancakes which didn't have a ton of flavor and lacked syrup, although the fruit presentation on the plate was lovely. The butcher bowl was unique but I was expecting a little more flavor from the chia, but otherwise good. An easy breakfast and lunch spot in Kaikoura, just don't expect anything to blow you away

They are located on the Esplanade, right across from the water, so the views are incredible. Hubby had the salmon wrap, which he thoroughly enjoyed, and I had the salmon quiche salad.

The coffee in New Zealand has been so good and this was no exception. The French toast came with fried bananas and bacon. There is no lack of calories in the breakfasts here. I loved my meal.

We were hangry and tired and Black Rabbit pizza was on our way to the hotel (once the road opened) and was open until 10pm (which is rare here) so we stopped. We ordered a pepperoni and black olive pizza which was good. Thin crust and cut like a pie. Service was excellent. Order at the counter and they bring your food to you. I suspect 2 people were working the place which started to fill up as more cars were let through. Lots of seating available and easy to access from the main road. Thank you for being open later!

The waiting bench will do well back in the cinema hehe. Anyway I was hoping to try two artisan pizzas, The Hunting (venison mince, slow cooked wild pork, chorizo and blue cheese aioli) and Orange Fish (with King Salmon etc) but they were out of salmon. A tad disappointing but they had other interesting combinations. The waitress recommended the Canadian which had tomatoes, bacon, garlic roasted mushrooms. Ingredients were generous on these superb thin crust pizzas. It was a fair wait, as they also had to deal with phone orders and takeaways. But I would say it is worth the wait. They also have salads and pasta if you decide you are not up for pizza.

Food/Pizza REVIEW:…read more Okay so here's the deal. Unfortunately relying on good reviews doesn't always turn out to be good. Hence I was completely disappointed by the food, and am a bit shocked by the good pizza review. This has got to be one of the worst and most overpriced pizza I've ever eaten. Burned crust, moisty dough and no fresh toppings. It tasted like a frozen supermarket pizza -- and even for that it was bad. Maybe the other food's better, but as a cook I would've never even send these pizzas out. Beer is great, and we were friendly treated. But for a 25$ pizza this was an absolute disaster. Salad was okay! Local Beer on tap was great. So maybe pop in for a snack and a beer, but please no pizza.

Everything was fantastic!! Will definitely go here again the next time I'm in Kaikoura!…read more The Italian pizzas were phenomenal! They were huge with nice thin base and toppings. For pizzas, our group tried the Italia- (tomato base, mozzarella, prosciutto crudo, parmesan, and rocket (arugula)), Siciliana with artichoke (tomato base, mozzarella, garlic, feta cheese, sundried tomatoes, rocket). The sun-dried tomatoes were an awesome complement to the pizza! We also had the Risotto al mare (black seafood risotto with mussels, prawns, squid, and salmon), Salmone (pan-fried salmon fillet with lemon risotto), and Pasta alla Bolognese. Wow. Although they didn't have squid ink available for the Risotto al mare, it was delicious with nice presentation. The risotto was delicious with great texture and flavor. The Out of everything we had ordered for the evening, the Salmone and Siciliana with artichoke were our favorites! We saw many other dishes go past us along with beautiful desserts, will most definitely have to come back to try more of their dishes the next time I'm in town.
