We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant. It was quite busy when we arrived, and since we didn’t have a reservation, the staff kindly offered us the option to sit outside or wait about 20 minutes for an indoor table. We decided to sit outside, and it turned out to be very comfortable — the area was partially covered, and the staff switched on the heater for us, keeping it pleasantly warm for my elderly parents.nnOur server, Janice, was friendly and attentive, providing excellent service with a lovely smile. Thank you, Janice!nnFor food, we ordered the Seafood Chowder, Roast Pork, Lamb Shank, and a Whitebait Omelette to share. The Seafood Chowder was filled with generous portions of seafood, The Lamb Shank was tender and flavorful, the Roast Pork was decent though not the best we’ve had, and the Whitebait Omelette could have been a little crisper for our taste.nnOverall, it was an enjoyable dining experience, and we appreciated the warm service and cozy atmosphere.
​Alice May Restaurant is a charming, historically rich, and essential dining experience in Franz Josef. It successfully blends the cozy, rustic atmosphere of an old West Coast lodge with a dedication to high-quality, hearty New Zealand cuisine.nnAlice May is highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable and delicious dinner while visiting the glaciers. While the prices are noted to be on the higher side, the quality of the food, the exceptional ambiance, and the excellent service make it well worth the splurge for a special meal.
The seafood chowder is rich and flavourful, yet not jelat, one of the best chowder that I had, strong 5*. The creamy chilli prawn pasta was a bit disappointing, as the pasta is soggy and not al dente, but the prawns are very fresh and succulent. There r 9 prawns in the pasta, quite value for money. Serving is big. My partner ordered salmon, he gave 5*. Sticky toffee pudding is amazing, soft and warm, but it is a bit too sweet to my tasting, but still recommend it as it tastes great. The wine Pinot Gris is not good.
This was our second visit to this place, and once again, the food was absolutely amazing. We had the beef cheek and lamb shank as our mains both were delicious.nnThey also offer a special dessert that's worth trying. The atmosphere is cosy and perfect for winter, the staff are so friendly.nnWe absolutely love it here highly recommended
Crowded on Christmas Eve! Lamb shank falls off the boat but the meat was tough thus a 3/5 for it. However. the steak is a 5/5. Flavourful, juicy and paired with the red wine sauce.
