We have been meaning to come here for ages and finally got the opportunity this time around in Nelson. It was great, every dish was beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect too.
The Lobster toast, the salmon entree and the fish main were the best selections on the night. The potato side we had was o
First of all, I would like to thank the staff at Hopgoods for accommodating us for NYE dinner which was made the day before. We were in town w/o making any NYE dinner plan and scrambled around at the 11th hour checking openings at numerous restaurants until husband showed up in person to Hopgoods an
Impressive! An incredible fine dining experience - such an epic set up - service, atmosphere, food, drink - everything was amazing!! Will be back for sure the next time we are in Nelson, def a must do!!
Excellent night out with my mother, the food was superb while service was friendly and attentive. The cheese soufflé was very interesting with beetroot and raspberry compote underneath, utterly delicious. Mum had the lamb dish minus the sweetbreads done slightly more than medium which was exactly ho
This place was on our to do list in Nelson because it kept showing up in lists and awards in magazines. We were not disappointed! We had the 5 course tasting menu and it was excellent. Easily up to or better than the standard of many of the top spots in the major centers. Great service, excellent fo
Wow, I’ve been traveling for 6 months and this might be the most sublime, flawless, and “I already wish I could come back” dining experience I’ve had. It reminded why I love the art of food, the surprises and subtleties. And the service! My waitress was cheeky, fun, and always ready to help. Her adv
Incredible food, friendly, laid-back atmosphere, did I mention the delicious food? We had the pork cheek, beef fillet, confit duck and tiramasu for desert. All of it was amazing. The truffle butter with the bread was a revelation. But what really made our night was the service. All of the staff were
The BEST FOOD I've eaten. AMAZING! The service is brilliant. Had the 5 course taster menu on our recent visit and was just delicious!! Can't fault this restaurant.
I try to visit here each time I’m back in Nelson. I visited just prior to Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed the 5 course tasting menu with matching wines.
Outstanding courses were the whitebait with a beautiful brown butter sauce matched with a stunning Sauvignon Blanc and the eye fillet with a love
Top quality food, service and ambience
We had a truly delicious plant-based meal there, with vegan wines and top quality service. Hopgoods is beautifully decorated, well-located, and the dining experience was one I'd love to repeat. Very vegan-friendly - they had a dedicated vegan menu that feature
A bunch of us were up from ChCh visiting friends and family and Hopgoods was a destination for us. We absolutely loved it. We were a group of six and were seated in a semi-private room, we basically ordered everything off the small and medium sized plates then grazed for a couple of blissful hours.
Best fine dining in town 👌. Had the delicious Degustation Menu when we were last in, absolutely delicious 😋. If you haven't tried Hopgoods it's a must, worth every cent.
Mind-blowingly good (recommend booking). A must-go in Nelson. My ricotta strozzapreti was one of the best meals I've tasted - incredible mushroom flavour and beautifully balanced. The yoghurt cake (pictured without garnish as requested) was a perfect finish the the meal - so so refreshing and delici
Amazing food and great service from Maia last Friday on our 5 course menu. We've chosen the matching wines and it was just perfect.
We had one of the best meals in Nelson. From the moment we walked in and the server greeted us, then preceded to give us a gin tasting prior to ordering our gin cocktail, then a wine tasting to ensure we chose the perfect bottle of vino to match the food. Oh and then the food was delicious. The cray
Went for the first time with my mum tonight, we have been meaning to go for a while. They did not disappoint and we are already planning our return. We got the degustation menu and it was DELICIOUS! All of the staff were so lovely. Could not fault the night at all, well done to all of the team in ma
Don’t miss this place. Everything is great from starters to deserts... very decent price and great wine list! The British chef featured in a national cookbook. Cosy place on pedestrian street.
At short notice my husband and I appreciated being given a table to dine..
The food and service were exemplary.
Highly recommended.
Thank you.

I can not fault this place. We went looking for a meal late and found them open on a Friday night after flying in. Great recommendations, excellent service. Food was flawless. Good wine list to suit the food.
