Te Anau: Redcliff Cafe (South Island, New Zealand)

There is not much in Te Anau apart from a beautiful lake, a handful of souvenir shops and this fantastic café/ restaurant which we felt needed a space on this blog. After backpacking for a number of weeks, eating 3 dollar breakfasts and not spending much more on lunch, we decided to treat ourselves at this recommended-by-the-Rough-Guide restaurant. Besides, there wasn't a whole lot else to do in Te Anau.

Decided to start off with a Merlot accompanied by a variety of freshly baked breads with a homemade selection of dips. For mains Suzanne had a chargrilled salmon fillet with spinach & cheese risotto with fresh vegetables. I had belly of pork with sweet potato and a pear chutney. Mouth watering and very very tasty. Unfortunately we didn't have room for dessert but they looked amazing. We would give this a 4 star rating. If you ever go down under Lorcán, make sure you include this in your travels.
