Rust Kitchen — Restaurant in Nelson

Our absolute FAVOURITE restaurant!! Everything is culinary PERFECTION!! The buckwheat galettes - every flavour is devine, cooked with love by the talented chefs and exceptional ingredients. My husband, son and I love everything on the menu, the crepes are next level too and the goat's cheese YUM! We have tried food at other French restaurants and nothing comes close to Rustic Cuisine. We were sooo gutted when La Gourmandise closed but are thrilled we can still get our absolute favourite kai again. The owner's are lovely, professional and kind with excellent customer service and attention to detail. If you haven't tried their phenomenal food yet you are missing out!! But shhhhh, don't tell too many people or the secret of Nelson's best food won't be a secret for...

Pizzas was reasonable. Crispy base. Quite a lot of topping. Well done if you like that sort of thing. Medium was fine for one adult. Price was reasonable. Music was good but a little loud. Staff member taking my order seemed a bit inexperienced and was hard to hear over the music. Decor/ambience okay but not amazing. Initially my order didn’t go through to the kitchen, but the staff realised and sorted it out. Food still arrived reasonably quickly. I’d be happy to eat there again if it was convenient, but probably wouldn’t go out of my way...

The place has just been over taken by another party and it clearly shows. The meals for the 4 of us came 10 minutes apart. The bagel was hard as a rock and tasted very “average”. The service was walking around in winter jackets clearly not knowing what they were doing. The kitchen did not have the ventilation so half the place was filled with smoke and my clothes need a wash...
