The Boat Shed Cafe

Had dinner here last night and it really was amazing everything. We left the meal to the chef and had the chef’s choice - our waiter recommended wines with each course which were all spot on. The whole experience on a perfect Nelson summer evening basically as good as it gets. Thank you The Boat Shed for making this a very memorable birthday meal. We’ll definitely be back.nView wasn’t bad either !!

Since 2015 this is our 4th time in NZ, and every time it was a must to visit The Boat Shed Cafe. And it is still one of the best restaurants for us. The food is fantastic and the service super. We had this time two delicious dinner. Once the thrust the chef menu and once a la cart. Both were fantastic. This combined with a beautiful sunset = awesome!!

We had a wonderful meal at the Boat Shed Cafe. The restaurant is on stilts and so we were seated at a table directly above the sea. We had the 'trust the chef' menu. All courses were superb and there was a varied choice of wine I particularly enjoyed the oysters and the market fish. We had the Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc which was excellent. The staff were friendly and fun and all the food was top quality. I would go to this restaurant frequently, but unfortunately I live 11000 miles away.

A nice place to enjoy dinner by the ocean. Pricier than most places in Nelson you are definitely paying to enjoy the view. The steak I ate was cooked to perfection.nWouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in Nelson !

The Boat shed is a great location for a meal. Get there early or make a reservation to sit out on the covered deck. The food is delicious. I highly recommend going with the chief’s choice if you d not been here before. They have a nice section of wine. The only downside is that parking can be tricky.
