The Chop Shop Food Merchants

This is a must try. Google had a funny direction going there but it’s definitely worth the visit. We had Nasi Goreng, Salmon Tataki Salad, and Ricotta Hotcakes and each of them is divine!

Our favourite breakfast throughout our trip and this was our last day in New Zealand. This place deserves more than five stars. Service was great, you were greeted the moment you came in, allocated a seat. Easy as. We were lucky to have gotten a seat as people poured in a couple minutes after. They do not take reservations, its first in best dressed. Coffee was great, really smooth. The food, was delicious multiplied by 10. We ordered a corn fritter and a potato and jalapeños mash. Boy were we blown away. The corn fritters came in little fritter balls with a poached egg. The dish was drizzled with syrup. The fritters were crunchy and savory on the outside but soft, fluffy and sweet (from the corn) on the inside. It went soo well with the syrup. The potato and jalapeños mash was like a party in your mouth. You had the mash, avocados, sunny-side up eggs, bacon, sour cream and salsa. It sounds like a lot but trust me, it was fantastic. Everything worked. Their bacon rashers were yum and not overcooked. We loved every single thing about the cafè and will most definitely be back for more when we’re back in Arrowtown. Parking’s a street away and you can either park in the 2h free parking or all-day free parking.

Absolutely loved the lunch we had here! The food was delicious and so unique, and the coffee was divine (so good we got two!! . The staff were also lovely and friendly, very accommodating of my gluten free and dairy free dietary requirements.

Heard from locals and we came here early to grab the breakfast in case of waiting too long. The fact turned out we made a good choice! The staffs are nice and served fast. Be seated in the balcony, there's always a great view and beautiful sunshine in front of you! Recommended the spicy fried rice and momo dumplings. Fried rice is some kind of southeastern flour, fresh and a bit spicy with the chili! It's a pity that the dish wasn't enough to share because we ate all of them soon!Dumplings' sauce is amazing and pretty matchwith the salad vegetable. Luckily we got the special deal, whitebait! We heard that there's seasonal menu at different times so hope to explore sth New next time!

Simply amazing place!! First of all great location and you can eat outside with a nice view. The staff was lovely, friendly and fast, their menu is a bit special but every dish sounds amazing. We tried the beef curry, prawn pancake and waffles and we looooved them all! Thanks guys, keep it up :
