Great food. We did the chef's choice and the whole meal was fabulous. Great tofu and mushrooms, salmon, goat cheese, and duck. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

As President of the Clean Plate Club, I can highly recommend the fish. The service was above and beyond common courtesy and at the level of truly nice and kind people wanting to host and provide the best quality food and hospitality.

To be fair, I think the food might be considered “good enough” compared to other restaurants in this small town. However, if you come from other metropolises like I do, then you might share the same view - there is plenty of space for improvement. Some of the dishes have great combinations of taste and texture, but the others are more like a mix of components from different cultures. There is a lack of connection to make ppl feel it’s an “integrated presentation”. I think that’s something the Chef can work on.

Wow!!!! I’m still thinking about this place 5 days later the food was amazing best gnocchi I have had in years. The fried chicken was just crispy, crunchy and delicious. And the deserts so hard to explain how good they are you just gotta go try it Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+

A tapas styled restaurant where you share dishes with your table. The food is beautifully presented and the portions are generous, unlike other fine restaurants. The vibe is casual but elegant. The total bill came up to be very reasonable as well. Would recommend a visit when you are in Wanaka. You can easily make a reservation on their website.

This is simply superb food – up there with the best of any fine dining we’ve had in NZ and Australia. As is now common at fine dining restaurants, Kika eschews the traditional entrée-main-dessert in favour of sharing plates of a series of small dishes, and then 1 or 2 mains, a side or 2 and a dessert (if you still have room). It’s not cheap, but for the quality of the food, service and restaurant setting, it’s well worth it. There’s plenty of veg, vegan and gluten-free options, and the superb staff will help you make the right choices, and make sure you don’t order more than you can eat. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

Brilliant …. Staff super accommodating in giving us a table with no reservation and then an outstanding meal all the way with great timing between the dishes. Service excellent its a must if you around Wanaka. Dishes in the photos beef tartare, smoked cured king salmon, corn ribs, confit duck leg and frangipani is the best dessert by far. Staff was excellent also on keeping some noisy diners quiet well done. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $90–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

We had a good meal at Kika. The tofu and the fried chicken were delicious! Goat cheese toast was good. The lamb shoulder was very tasty and the meat was soft👌🏽 The cabbage was just ok with nothing special. Broccolini dish was a bit too oily for our taste. Drinks were yummy. Service was great and we thought the staff was very friendly.

Food was fine dining, with a bit more smart causal dining feel. We walked in without reservations and we got sitted at high table right next to the door. Not great seats. Service was friendly but seems busy. They are very busy, 80% full. Food was out of this world. So good. Came here for vegan choice and it didn't disappoint. Tofu, cos lettuce and broccolini. Only down side was the vegetables were yellow so wasn't as fresh as shown in photos. Would still recommend to come but vegan check freshness of food.

Surprised that such an amazing restaurant is tucked away in the hidden nook and crannies of Wanaka. ALL the piccolos were on point! Each one was better than the next. Produce was fresh, flavours were balanced, and the dishes were not derivative of one another. Actually their main dish was probably the biggest let down (the lamb), but still delicious. Two most stunning dishes were the beef tartare and the gnocchi. Honourable mentions include the seared tuna and the venison and beetroot. The mulled wine was also sublime. Pity that we'll only get to eat here once on the trip, but was very glad for the suggestion. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
