Fords - Nelson

Lunch here today. my partner had warm halloumi salat and I had sticky black bell salad. very tasty. also a wine and ingwer beer for $55. staff very friendly and helpful. the road outside was blocked so many seats in the open. will be back.

May have been the best meal so far in nz. a beautiful filet of fish (very generous help) over roasted vegetables and a sweat toast sauce with pesto. $25 nzd. also earl grey tee in a loose leaf teekanne, no tee bag. I'm coming back.

I visited the restaurant with friends, and the dining experience was fantastic. The mushroom chips with blue cheese sauce were a delightful surprise. The calamari was delicious, and the lamb was cooked to perfection. The sticky date pudding, especially with extra toffee sauce, was simply divine. Our server, a lovely young lady, was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Overall, it was great value for money, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming.

I had an excellent brunch featuring French toast topped with orange maple syrup and speck. It was both delicious and beautifully presented.

We ordered the sticky date pudding and the panna cotta desserts. Best desserts ever as well as great customer service. Would highly recommend.
