referred to me by the visitor book kept at the place i was staying at. about 12 different reviews each suggested a must visit to smugglers inn.

its a rustic place. relates more to pirates than smugglers. the usp is a big 8 - 10 seater table with a fire hole in the centre of the table.

the staff is so ever amazing. just lovely to interact with. the menu is quite extensive. one can find seafood veg chicken and meat options. so this place wont let you leave hungry.

the evening started with guinness from tap and gin and tonic. following it was prawns in garlic. 6 good sized prawns withsaladand aioli sauce. well cooked and well seasoned. the mains were fish and chips and chicken breast stuffed with ricotta cheese and sun dried tomatoes with a side of steamed vegetables and a stack of baked potatoes.
the fish was well cooked. the star of this dish was the tartare sauce that came along. it went so well along with the fish.
although i am not a fan of chicken breast, i loved this one. perfectly cooked, tender and still juicy.
it did not have an overpowering sauce. a very well balanced dish. i swear i dint even touch the vegetables.
the end was with a semi-froddo. so this stud was blended vanilla ice creme mixed with nuts and praline and whipped creme on side. it was melt in the mouth bomb. there was much of toffee left even after i finished the desert. so maybe they can put a little less toffee. but other than that no complaints.

so the catch here; its the cost of dining. $110 for 2. huge portions for the mains. but at this price this comes under the hood of fine dining and not casual culture. i hope if they work on the portion size they can decrease the cost of dining.

price wise: $110 for 2
will i return: check that.

dalam perjalanan liburan di new zealand akhir tahun 2018, saya dan 5 teman bermalam di nelson yang merupakan kota singgah terdekat dari pelabuhan picton di pulau selatan, setelah perjalanan panjang dari wellington di pulau utara.

atas rekomendasi receptionist hotel maka kami menuju ke resto ini yang memang letaknya bersebelahan halaman belakang.

resto dengan dekorasi ala bajak laut langsung mengingatkan saya akan film pirates of caribbean. sempat menunggu sesaat untuk dicarikan tempat duduk karena saat kami datang memang resto dalam keadaan penuh.

makanan yang kami pesan adalah :

the kraken calamarisaladmerupakan mixed vegetablessaladyang terdiri dari salada air (watercress), aragula (rocket leaves), tomat, bawang merah dan lobak (radish) dengan thai dressing yang spicy dan toppingnya adalah daging cumi empuk berbumbu. sangat enak !

black market fish and chips yang aroma amis ikannya tidak terasa karena sebelum digoreng, daging ikannya direndam dulu dalam tepung yang dicampur bir, umumnya dikenal sebagai beer battered fish sehingga menghasilkan daging ikan yang berbalut kulit yang renyah dan gurih. disajikan dengan kentang goreng super karena potongannya besar dan padat dan salad.

pork ribs yang tampil menggugah selera karena lumuran saos bbq yang harum disajikan lengkap dengansaladkubis kaya mayonaise (coleslaw) dan juga kentang goreng.

porsi makanan yang disajikan sangat besar dan kami beruntung sebelumnya mendapat advis yang benar dari receptionist hotel. ngga kebayang kalo berenam dari kami masing-masing memesan satu porsi makanan.

harga makanan yang nikmat dan bikin perut kekenyangan ini per porsinya berkisar antara nzd 28 - 30. bila suatu saat kamu terdampar di nelson, nz, resto ini bisa jadi pilihan😁

we rounded up a crew of 14 for a christmas eve dinner- got a large table in the middle with a fire pit. decor was seriously cool and kept the kids all entertained. staff were superb - tolerant and attentive! there wouldn't have been more than 15secs where someone's glass was empty if they didn't want it to be.

meals were served extremely quick. kids meals were massive and excellent value for money. entrees were well portioned. i ordered deep fried camembert and that did not disappoint!
the mains the adults received were massive and not a single complaint from around the table. the ribs seemed to be a favourite, while i had a prawn and chicken salad. flavoured so perfectly and piled so high, thesaladwas a real winner for me. and i do not say that often!
thanks for a brilliant night team, appreciate the good spirits and service especially when working on christmas eve.
