Reviews for Raupo Riverside Cafe & Restaurant

Pros:
Ample seating, wonderful setting/atmosphere, good cafe/lunch food, good service.

Cons:
Overpriced dinner meals (ie. pay for fresh food when pre-prepared/frozen food is served), lack of flexibility and variety with menu options.

Overall: good building and surroundings, good for lunch, but the few dinner meals on offer are overpriced for what they are.

I love Raupo. Its consistently good, and Ive never had a meal their I didn’t like. The staff are friendly, the meals are tasty and the ambience is great. Not to mention great coffee which is served witha a yummy little ginger biscuit. Hands down, best restaurant in Blenheim. They need one in Nelson!!

This is not the first time we have hosted visitors to the region and taken them to Raupo Riverside Cafe. As this particular dinner was a mixture of business and pleasure it was a comforting thought to know that the dining part was taken care of! We had a great location, a fantastic meal and a lovely evening. Always a fresh seasonal menu with great variety & a good wine list. Favourite is a hard pick between the pate with chutney or dessert which was pear and blue cheese tart…

The ambience of this place is amazing, fantastic chairs and table to make a comfortable environment which ads to a great experience. The service was attentive though food very disappointing.

Best restaurant in Blenheim, whether you are after a coffee or a meal. Great setting, good service, very stylish decor. They had a few teething problems initially but that’s all sorted out. Highly recommended.

Really good food. Seating indoors and outdoors. Nice outlook over the river and fountain. Good service too. Worth finding. Walk from the information centre or park at the restaurant.
