We went here for dinner while staying in Franz Josef. We got the lamb shanks and bangers and mash. The lamb shanks were a good portion and great tasting. The bangers and mash was very disappointing. The sausages were undercooked and had an awful flavour. If you decide to come here for dinner don't bother with the bangers and mash

We had dinner at The Landing and couldn't have been happier. Everything is reasonably priced, the service was brilliant and food portion sizes are more than generous, as well as being absolutely delicious! Will be returning next trip

Enjoyed sitting outside on the deck. The seafood chowder was great. Friends enjoyed the Mountain of nachos and the Al's burger. The veggie burger on gluten free bread was very mushy.

We enjoyed a good winter warmer meal at the landing. My wife and I had the pasta and our son the chicken burger. All plentiful and tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. Drinks, as usual in NZ, are expensive unless you catch the happy hour for tap beers and house wine.

This restaurant is very crowded. However, if you wish to eat a good quality burger in Franz Josef, this is the place. The service was quick as well. We also tried their Pavlova which was nicely made and served with kiwi fruits. Definitely worth the try.
