We just chanced upon this eatery while exploring Wanaka and we liked it's vibe. I was happy to see its menu as it had multiple vegetarian options. Being a mushroom lover, I found the pizza option Field mushroom + walnut pizza very interesting. However, I don't like white sauce too much and had never tried a white sauce based pizza so was a little apprehensive too but I followed my instinct and ordered it. I am so glad I did, the pizza was soooo yum. We loved, the right blend of mushroom, white sauce, walnuts and cheese... i can still recall its exact taste (writing the review after more than 10 days). The pizza is quite big too, we ordered one pizza and one portion of potato wedges and they were enough for 2 of us. The potato wedges were also crisp and nice. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back to the place. Pro tip - Choose the outside seating if you are going there on a nice sunny afternoon, you'll love the vibe.

Great breakfast at Kai Whakapai in Wanaka. Loved the honey scone and big breakfast. Coffee and hot chocolate were top-notch. The eatery has a cozy atmosphere, making it a great spot for a relaxed and satisfying start to the day. Highly recommended for a tasty breakfast experience.

My son and I (and our friend Tony Ted) were recently on an adventure to NZ and the places where we ate had some of the best food I've ever tasted. The Kai Whaka Pai is definitely our fave. The food was exceptional! My son had been fancying Eggs Benedict for a few days and boy did they deliver, he kept shaking his fork at it - which is a clear sign he was enjoying it - and he savoured every mouthful. He said it is the best he has ever had and has already tried to create it, I don't think anything will beat it! I had the avo smash and it was amazing!! More like a banquet of scrummy goodness right there! I wish I lived around the corner but I'd become very fat very quickly! The combination of flavours is incredible. The menu was fabulous and sadly we only had time for the one breakfast before we headed off. It was definitely worth the 14,000 trip to be able to sample such gorgeous food. No wonder they're popular, they deserve to be. Thank you to everyone who works there.

I love my eggs benedict and this one is by far my favourite in wanaka, maybe even nz! Perfectly cooked eggs, bacon was crispy, bread was crispy and fresh, the hollandaise was to die for.. I could have had a eggs benny soup with that sauce 😍 My partner had a kai full breakfast which was really good, everything was perfectly cooked and both were presented really well! The homemade potato and feta hashcake was a little weird but each to their own taste :) Had to hold back alot of will power to take the pic and not just dig straight in! There's a reason this place is so busy! Staff were all super friendly too!! Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Chill vibes with friendly servers ready for a quick chat when not serving. They have 16 craft beers on tap - BEER HEAVEN to me. I was recommended the Vacation Hazy Pale Ale (cos I'm on vacation!) - love it, refreshing with a tinge of citrus. Had it with beef burger w cheddar (I was told blue cheese is a killer combo) and hot chips. The 2nd time I had the Kai Time Hazy IPA - refreshing more intense than the Vacation. Didn't get to try the steak sandwich but it looked delicious too. I would term this a high energy place.

We ate here for breakfast one day and the meals did not disappoint. The coffee could’ve been slightly hotter and the lady taking the orders could’ve been a little bit more precise. Ended up with the wrong order but still tasted okay. Great views from upstairs Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4

Excellent location. We walked in for lunch. Varieties of main meal is not much to choose from. Open steak sandwiches, beef burgers, and pizza are all yummy. Good customer services. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Pizza was good, service was fast. They have a huge beer on tap selection to choose from. Convenient for a meal while checking out the lake. Had the meatlovers and margherita pizza Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
