We ate breakfast and lunch here. The food and service was excellent, could definitely recommend. Inside is cosy and outside has a good view of the lake. Excellent baby seat and had some toys and books. Actually the baby seat impressed me the most, they invested in a quality clip-on table one, which allowed our toddler to eat with us.... More

Gusto delivers every time. Service always great, prompt service and yummy food. I am always tempted by menu but settle for the same old....Middle Eastern Platter and OH has BLT + fries. Platter is filling and delicious. Gusto is awesome for an 'out-of-office' weekday lunch.

Loved their quinoa salad, salmon sandwich, blueberry muffin, iced coffee, basically everything we ordered was good and not too expensive.

As a wanaka local this is always where we go for excellent food, coffee, and service. Always consistant! Other cafes are a gamble on the day but Gusto is always good. Keep doing what you're doing Gusto!

I can't say enough good things about Cafe Gusto!! Other places in Wanaka say they have the best this & that, whereas Cafe Gusto unassumingly delivers the best in every category. We went for breakfast & had 2 very good dishes (breakfast burrito & salmon & potato rosti), as well as the best coffee I've had anywhere in either Queenstown... More

I had lunch at Cafe Gusto before catching a movie at Ruby's and really enjoyed it. My pasta was really nice and the coffee was seriously good. There's a great atmosphere with a blend of locals and tourists. Being at the corner of Lakeside Road and Ardmore up on that little hill, Cafe Gusto can be proud of the lake... More

Cafe Gusto is one of those rare cafes that is constantly filled with both locals and visitors to Wanaka. Excellent coffee, consistantly great food, cakes to die for and lovely happy staff - what more could you want? Cosy environment inside with lake views outside, too. If you visit only one cafe in Wanaka fhen make Gusto that choice.

Everyone who stopps in Wanaka - and everyone who is in New Zealand should stop in Hanaka - should have at least one time breakfast at Cafe Gusto. The coffee tastes more than European Coffee which means not that bitter than in other cafes and the poached eggs are amazing, never ever had better poached eggs! Like everywhere it's not... More
