Hard Antler Bar Restaurant - Haast

Stopped in to get dinner and had the best cheesy garlic bread ever. It was fantastic. The fish and chips were also pretty good. Great place to stop and have food!

Found a “retro” hunter’s cafe off a highway towards fox glacier. Their deco is quite humorous. Lots of trophies. Food was quite good.

Perfect stopover for road trip, plenty of parking spaces for your vehicle. They have quite a number of tables inside too. The deco is so unique and we love how this place is. Clean washroom too Their fish and chip is must have, fresh fish with no fishy taste (partner hates fish but full of praise for this one) doesn’t feel greasy from the batter after many bites, portion is wow good. Love their fries, that’s how fries should be made chunky ones. Soup of the day was tomato and herb, it’s very good we taste nothing close to this before. It’s thicker than usual soup leaning towards purée and served piping hot. The soup is so good we empty the bowl. A pity we can’t pass by again for this trip, hope to make it again for these. Warm friendly service staff!

Dropped by for lunch when I was driving through Haast. Very interesting interior design with all of the antlers up for display and friendly customer service. I ordered the fish burger, which was really delicious. Also, I loved that they seasoned their chips with what I think was salt, pepper and cilantro. It made it all that much tastier. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.

Great unexpected stop for lunch. Food was great, staff was friendly. I got the steak sandwich, it was nice and tender, and the fries were great. Wife got the soup of the day, tomatoes and roasted pepper, she really enjoyed it. Definitely worth grabbing lunch here!
