Small “ Small plates “

To our tastes and pockets we found other restaurants with more appealing plates at a lesser priced. The food has a lot going on with flavours so for us it was confusing on the palate when trying multiple dishes . Our group tasted almost everything...on the menu but the stand out was the lamb . It was a pity that no one suggested ordering 2 so we could all get a sizeable portion . Desserts were also a winner for all . Great wine selection. The place is obviously popular and very busy on a Sunday night so found we needed to go inside to order extra drinks and plates .More

Very very good food and good selection of moderately priced wines

Have eaten there before but I think this time was better. Food was excellent and service was very attentive .....slightly too attentive at times. By far the best restaurant in Nelson and comparable to the best Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch has to offer.

A brilliant culinary experience

What a surprise! We went with family and had a truly exquisite experience. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and we each had different mains but each was delicious and fabulously presented. The deserts were just as great. Highly recommend this restaurant. You will. Not...be disappointed.More

Perfect

Dined with friends while we were visiting Nelson for a wedding. Came here by mistake as we got it confused with another restaurant, but so glad we did. This is possibly one of the best meals I've had, and definitely the best steak I've ever...had. Everyone found their food well cooked and delicious. The mains were on the small side but made up for it with flavor and presentation, and left room for desserts, which were beautiful and delicious. The service was also fantastic, friendly and not at all stuffy as you can sometimes find at a higher-end restaurant. I would return in a heartbeat.More

Absolutely fabulous

Our meal and service were equal to any restaurant we have been to. In fact service was perhaps the best ever. We last went to Hopgoo'ds 4 years ago and thought it was great food but didn't have the extra wow factor we were looking...for. When we came back to Nelson on holiday last week we googled the menu and thought it looked exciting....and it was. Standouts were paua dumplings (generous amount of paua) , fat sweet scampi, the duck and the lamb shoulder. Were not carrot fans but decided to have a side of carrots as it sounded great and it was. I'll be asking for the recipe. This restaurant is a 'must go to.' A special thank you to our delightful Japanese waitress....an asset to Hopgoods.More
