Alice May

The food, location & service was excellent plus good prices on the wine. I enjoyed it so much I went twice. Great menu with varied meals.

Food was great and staff were absolutely lovely, great experience all round. Recommend the chocolate hazelnut croissant as someone else mentioned - so good!

Great service. 3 out of 4 meals were very satisfying and the 4th was ok but the salmon and risotto were a bit bland and could have done with a bit of lemon or similar.

The service was excellent, and food was bought out really fast.
The calamari was delicious, but the mains were just ok.
I asked.for a medium steak, and it was rare.
The mains menu is a lot of stuff that you would cook at home.
It was a nice dining experience

Good restaurant in a small tourist town, showcasing NZ food. The ribs dish is massive and uses good quality meat so go for that if you are hungry. I am very impressed with the kids roast pork meal too. The beef cheek dish, mussels starter and kids fish and chips seem slightly on the small side(esp compared to the other two dishes we ordered) but overall a good experience. Service is excellent. The restaurant was super popular and had people waiting for tables.

Great food from a varied menu. Desserts - try the chocolate and hazelnut croissant, yum!
Friendly service. Would definitely go again.

Lovely atmosphere with live music the evening we went. The service was attentive and friendly. Tasty food with a nice selection of drinks and meals to choose from.

Great food, the chowder, the steak, lamb shank, beef cheeks and ribs were all great, and the story behind the name was interesting too.

Great food and good service at this icon restaurant. Such a great spot looking out to Franz Joseph Glazier. Had live music last night , young guy playing , who was really talented . Would go back next time we pass through .

The restaurant has an interesting story behind its name with an inspired setting, which I will leave you to research yourselves. The food is really delicious and well priced compared to other restaurants in the area. Definitely recommended!

nice environment, nice staff, delicious food. recommended!!

Enjoyed the seafood chowder, and both the salmon fillet and lamb shank were tasty and nicely cooked. View of the glacier from the outside of the restaurant, while the inside is cosy and comfortable.

We had lovely food in a great atmosphere at the Alice May.

Well prepared food, which was a delight to eat.

A lovely restaurant. I went there to have dinner for 2 days.
Love their seafood chowder soup!

Lovely restaurant with good food & friendly efficient staff. Would definitely eat there again

Great service in a lovely remote area. The seafood chowder was amazing! We also got the pork and lamb shank, both of which was nothing spectacular but made for a decent meal.

Had a great time, food was delicious with large servings.
Dessert was a little bland for my liking.

We were welcomed by the most friendly staff, the atmosphere was great, the food delicious. It is fulled with history, amazing story of Alice May!. Next time we are back there, we will have our meals there!

awesome food. yummy roast pork

Good food and very friendly staff!

Try the seafood chowder. It’s amazing!

Excellent service, I have coeliac disease as does another member in the group and the staff were very accommodating and helpful in providing us with gluten free dishes. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We had a great time at Alice May. We ordered Seafood Chowder and Special prawn pasta for starters, the Lamb Shank and Special NZ lamb burger for our mains. Everything was more than perfect. The staff are very friendly and helpful!!.

Had a wonderful dining experience here. Service was first class, friendly and cheerful. We had an entree of arancini balls followed by mains of steak and lamb shank. All cooked to perfection and very tasty. And to cap of the night the sticky date and choc fudge desserts were sensational. Thanks Alice May and staff for a great night

Never fails to impress, delicious food, fantastic service and very cute restaurant.

lovely waiter we only had the main meal which was salmon very enjoyable

Table for 4, wonderful warm welcome and a warm dining room on a chilly evening.
Loved the time given to choose a wine, and the menu was explained clearly. We chose the soup of the day , Kumara, pumpkin and coconut cream , and 2 shared the arancini balls, both meals declared a winner.
Mains: yellow curry on rice (vegan) , lamb shanks , steak with blue cheese sauce and salmon on pea and asparagus risotto, all yum, excellent portion size, served piping hot and with such care. Actually the standard of service was perfect for us. Steve was brave to order the sticky toffee pud, others chose jasmine green tea. Complimentary truffles were enjoyed and appreciated. Off in to the night with our family who loved getting together at the Alice May on Father’s Day. Thank you for everything.

Delicious as always!

The seafood chowder was one of the best I’ve ever eaten. I ordered the steak and it was great. Cooked perfectly and a good amount of sides came with it. The story behind Alice May was great to read during the short wait for our food. Would recommend to anyone staying in Franz Josef.

The ambient is very nice. Food is ok.

Great experience. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Food was great and good portion size. Only criticism was steak was a little fatty, not the best. But otherwise the food was awesome, and atmosphere really good.

Delightful English setting, well priced menu (even without First Table) and excellent service that made you feel welcome and appreciated. Happy to frequent again.

Tasty food in a good location in Franz Joseph; close to all of the accommodations. Their wine and beer list was also nice. The waitress was helpful in helping me order a gluten-free dinner.

Very good!

Fantastic food and great service. The roast pork was outstanding. I would highly recommend a visit to Alice May.

Such a nice evening! The food was amazing and the service was top notch!

Very nice evening with tasty food and friendly staff.
