Old Mountaineers' Cafe, Bar And Restaurant

Great views, great location even better fare! This place does everything very well, seamless menu a great staff<br/ <br/ Lovely restaurant but you can sit back enjoy a pizza a beer or a coffee anytime

A great experience to dine in a cafe with exceptional Mountain views. A good feel of cleanliness, friendly willing staff, great open fire and excellent meals. Oh to be trapped there for longer!

Just charming. Good food and organic at that! Beer on tap, good selection of wine, great view, accomodating staff. So much nicer than the vibe at the v.touristy hermitage

What a fantastic place!The ambiance in this restaurant is warm and cozy, on a rainy day there was a great open fire blazing and the smell of Lillie's and coffee was delicious. The food quality was brilliant- fantastic gravy on organic produce. To have an entirely organic meal below NZ's highest peak, pure magic The staff were welcoming and treated us like returning friends. It was a beautiful place and highly recommended.

Finally got to try this place on our last evening in Mount Cook and what a lovely evening. This is the only place in the Aoraki village that has a cute, alpine feel to it. We had previously tried the (sterile) Sir Edmund Hillary cafe which just had no ambience or character. The owner prepares the food in the kitchen and it was lovely and prepared very quickly. Yes basic food cutlery plates but frankly, what difference does this make when you’re in a lovely alpine village, looking out onto the base of some beautiful peaks. The beer on tap was also great. So glad we supported local on this occasion and I would strongly recommend everyone does (and in doing so avoiding characterless, mass tourism operations at the other eateries in town). Would have loved to have gone again if had time allowed. I really hope this place can find some more staff because there is so much more potential to this lovely cafe restaurant. Thanks for a great evening to the owner and the lovely lady at the bar.
