My husband and I stayed two nights at Fox Glacier and dined at Cafe Neve on two occasion. We shared a big bowl of steamed green-lipped mussels and a small "hippy" pizza. The broth the mussels were steamed in was so yummy that we scooped it out and had it as a supplemental soup.. The pizza crust was delicious and... More

The outside terrace is a great place to have a coffee or a beer and watch the ebb and flow of the tourist tide in Fox - but shouldn't a cafe open before 9am? I need a coffee well before that! More

We visited this cafe after finding our first choice closed for holidays. The greeting and atmosphere were fine and the menu looked promising with several options that sounded appetising. We both went for the portobello mushroom dish on mash with kumara crisps. What a disappointment! The plates were stone cold (always a bad sign) and the sum total of mushrooms... More

I walked around all the cafes in Fox and chose Neve for the choice on the Menu. By the end of the evening the place was full and deserved to be. I had French onion soup (better than my mother made) venison hot pot and apple crumble. 3 cources was a bit ambitious but sometimes you have to test yourself.... More

Quite adequate for a cup of coffee and a muffin, but not as good as it was in Kate Taylor days. More

We had one of the best evening meals in NZ here. Portions not huge (happy with this) but excellent cooking and very friendly service. Not often I get the opportunity to thank the chef but did so here. If you're in the area don't miss out on a treat. More
