The Log Cabin By MetroMart — Restaurant in Canterbury

Don't be fooled by the exterior, this is no ordinary dairy/mini-mart. It is the best place for brunch in Hanmer Springs, especially if you have picky children.

If the kids want a burger, or a pie or fries instead (like ours did!) then they can have it! There are even vegan Chick'n pies. There are also 'McMuffins', a range of wraps, rice balls, and donuts, and even Twinkies! If you missed a visit to the Lolly Pit, there is a corner dedicated to lollies for the kids to pick a few treats for the ride home. I wish we had found this gem of a store earlier in our visit, we will...

We ended up getting a delicious pizza, it was hands down the best we have had our whole stay (on a cheeky side note it was also the cheapest). The shop itself is well presented and everyone there is friendly and welcoming. You can sit inside or out, really couldn't recommend it more!! Apologies Vish if I've spelt your name wrong but your shop is fantastic and you...

Living in Dunedin most of my life it’s fair to say I’ve had more than my fair share of Blue Cod. I’ve travelled 30 odd km to eat decent blue cod at a favourite fishmonger/fish and chip shop. Here in Hanmer Springs is the very BEST blue cod, not just myself, but my husband both AGREED it’s the “best thing I ever ate” . We will be making sure to get a couple more meals of your amazing blue cod before we leave here. The fish alone is a huge draw card and we will be travelling distance once again to our NEW favourite fish...
