À propos

The Fat Duck in Te Anau is a fine dining spot that offers a mix of local and international cuisine. The establishment boasts a comfortable and lively atmosphere with friendly and attentive service. The interior design is simple yet elegant, with a cozy bar area and outdoor seating available. Prices are on the higher side but reasonable for the quality of food and portion size. The menu at The Fat Duck includes a variety of dishes such as the 55-Day Aged Handpicked Sirloin with creamy mashed potatoes and garlic butter, and the Lamb Lumina with braised lamb shoulder, potato & rosemary gratin, pea purée, wilted vegetables & pinot noir jus. Seafood lovers can try the local salmon or the salt and pepper squid. Vegetarian options are also available, such as the Vietnamese salad. The establishment offers an excellent wine list, including the beautiful Fiordland Pinot Noir, and a selection of cocktails and soft drinks. The duck wontons and roasted pork are must-tries, and the seafood chowder is delicious but comes with a small piece of bread. The Fat Duck also features live music performances, and guests can enjoy a short fiordland film at the cinema part of the same complex while sipping their drinks from the bar. Overall, The Fat Duck is a great place to enjoy a wonderful meal with friends or family, especially if you're looking for a special dining experience in Te Anau.

We called ahead on a busy Sunday and were able to be seated at a hightop near the bar. There was live music, and it was very crowded, but the service was excellent and the food arrived much quicker than we expected. The beer and ciders were great. My husband had fish and I had pork belly - both were delicious. We would have come back the next night as well, but the restaurant is closed on Monday. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Super grateful that they were able to take our large party without a reservation during the busy holiday season! They had blankets for people sitting outside which was super considerate. We really enjoyed the Duck Wontons, Lamb, Popcorn Chicken & Seafood Pasta. Very intricate and flavorful dishes. The Market Fish could use a bit more flavor, however, and was probably our least favorite out of all them.

Last day of our two trip, we didn’t book ahead for Friday dinner , the manager lady was very friendly and settled us within 20min while we grabbed a drink. Nice wine and local beer menu, sat outside in the warm setting sun, great service from the team we had a nice chat with a really nice Polish lady. The food was amazingly yummy, we had fish and chips, pasta and meat. Must try the squid and popcorn chicken appetizers. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Really good food and really well portioned too. Each dish is the perfect serving size, and some really unique dishes here too like the duck wontons which I really enjoyed. Service was excellent, as we were seated right away even though we were a party of 9 during a busy time. They have blankets for you to use in outdoor seating, which was really helpful as it was a bit chilly outside. Favorite dishes were the lamb shoulder, which was so tender and went so well with the pea puree and layered potato. Salmon salad was really good as well; salmon was so soft. Loved the duck wontons too. Popcorn chicken could’ve had a bit more chicken, but I liked the texture. Cocktails solid. Duck liver pate was just ok.

Arrived without a reservation on a busy night but the unflappable host was very helpful (Selina?) and was able to sit us after around half an hour, we sat outside and had a drink while we waited. The veggie dumplings were amazing and the market fish tasty. But what made the night for us was the amazing Lydia. She was so kind, understanding and considerate after I felt slightly unwell during dinner ( nothing to do with the food!). All the staff were very efficient and friendly, and honest according to the barman 😆. Beautiful spot at the top of the hill that gets the sun until it goes behind the mountains. Would recommend Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our favorites are seafood chowder, Akatoa salmon, and green lips mussels. The gnocchi was tasty but the sauce was sweeter. The taste of seasonal greens and duck fat potatoes was so-so only. The taste of the Speight's golden ale was alright. Very good services. Good atmosphere. It was crowded on Thursday evening. We were lucky to get a table without booking. Cheers!

We came here due to previous reviews and found the food just amazing! We do eat out a lot and travelled a week now in NZ having a host of wonderful meals, yet this was just that little bit more amazing. Staff that we interacted with were really friendly and genuine. We had Pork & Lamb, also a divine dessert. Thanks Fat Duck. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Should You Go Here

Go here, as we’re planning to again tomorrow night. I had the wild venison pie which was absolutely fantastic - cooked so well, just the right amount of gaminess, and complemented by silky, soft mash and gravy. Everyone else raves about their dishes and I got to taste the ricotta and feta cigars, served with honey - this was absolutely spot on. The service was incredible. We’d had a rubbish experience trying to get dinner elsewhere but the staff here did their utmost to accomodate us despite being extremely busy.

Wow, really surprised with the best meal in NZ in the little town of Te Anau. EVERY appetizers and dishes are delicious and have a great presentation! Highly recommended! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We loved our dining experience here.. the Akaroa smoked salmon was delicious, as was the lamb shoulder and the seafood linguine. Enjoyed the seasonal gin cocktails and the cider. The duck wonton was a tad disappointing as it had more flour less meat. The highlight was the Black Forest dessert which was scrumptious The staff were very friendly and we loved the banter with them. Would highly recommend if you’re in the vicinity.
