40 Fyffe Quay Kaikoura Peninsula, Kaikoura 7300 New Zealand
What travelers say:
Since we had to leave Kaikoura at 12:30, the two restaurants we originally chose would not open until 12:00. So, we chose this popular restaurant. Many guides recommend going to this BBQ restaurant on the beach. We ordered a barbecue platter and lobsters, and the lobsters came in various sizes for you to choose from. The dining environment is not as good as that of an indoor restaurant. After all, it is a "roadside stall". It would be a bit embarrassing to eat on the roadside when it is windy and rainy, but the taste is really good, and the price is very affordable.

A friend recommended a BBQ seafood restaurant. I thought it was a restaurant, but it turned out to be just a stall on the beach. I guess it was recommended on various domestic travel websites. Although it was past mealtime when we went there, the business was still booming. It is worth mentioning that most of the diners are Chinese tourists. No wonder the boss made menus in three languages: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English. The seafood here is really fresh, especially the lobster, which is very delicious. I recommend you to try it.
After watching the whales, it was noon. We went to find the roadside barbecue recommended in the guide. When we went there, it was much better than we thought! This is the famous seafood barbecue roadside stall. There are many people queuing. There are some tables and chairs next to it, but there is no place. There are too many of us three families, so we have to pack it up and go back to the hotel to eat. The chef is a lady who looks a bit like a southern European. The most famous thing about this restaurant is grilled lobster. The grilled lobster set meal we packed, with rice and salad, is beautiful, right? If you eat it at the stall, the presentation will be more beautiful. Grilled scallops, mussels, and pancakes. I recommend the cuttlefish pancake, which tastes heavier than ordinary pancakes, but I think it is the most delicious pancake.
This is not a restaurant, but a stall selling on the roadside, which is also very unique. This is a great choice for tourists, very convenient, I like the lobster products it sells, the taste is really great.
How do they keep track of orders? After ordering, you can sit outside at the BBQ shack, the selection of food is very good. Don't leave just because some types are sold out, From crayfish, abalone, fish, etc., all fish are cooked perfectly, enjoy the food, no doubt, chat with strangers and listen to their stories. Fresh ingredients, reasonable price, outdoor environment,
