Snake Bite Brewery - Franz Josef Waiau

Perfect spot to enjoy happy hour and watch the sun go down over the mountains. Ordered the spicy chicken wings with blue cheese sauce to share. Not only was it yummy but they gave us each a WARM water finger bowl. Lovely staff, friendly patrons.. we'll be back!

Great food but the front staff were pretty rude and NOT friendly and NOT helpful. Front staff needs a bit of training.

As a tea drinker I’ve rated 5 stars for Snakebite Cafe as they used REAL tea leaves in a tea pot instead of the usual solitary 1 teabag. The chips were delicious and light ..not greasy tasting. The service was friendly and you have to come here and see the Lamingtons. Man ! They’re as big as houses and Chokas with whipped cream.

I liked the place. In our trip in New Zealand so far at most places visited there are only 1 or 2 veggie options. This place had more than 2 options BUT we were disappointed that there was no tofu available despite what the menu indicated. Hence the 4 star. My friend had the egg fried rice whilst I had the vegan curry. We both liked it. Our meat loving friends enjoyed their meal (no different to most of their meals so far..

Absolutely gigantic portions, especially the wanton noodle soup. nasi goreng wasn’t too bad, but both the fried rice and noodles (pad thai) needed more time in the wok or a stronger fire.
