"We were happy with our selection because it tasted well. We visited Tipsy Foodies on a Saturday and it was empty. There were people coming for takeaways but we opted to dine in. We did not have to wait long for our meals ... We asked for chilly flakes for our pizza and they gave it to us. We enjoyed our time here. Parking can be challenging...."

"Order:
1x Large Lamb + Chicken on Chips and salad with Aioli and Tzatziki (25$)
1x Blue Sea Burger with Curly Fries and Aioli (21,50$)

We loved both a lot! The lamb is cut in stripes and really well-seasoned and so tender and that combined with the crispy shoestring chips and the aioli was perfect. I really recommend getting it with the salad to balanve out the meal. The chicken was alright, but I would probably get only lamb next time. ☺️

The burger was also really great, the fish was crispy and so were the curly fries, but the only thing that wasn't to our liking is the mildy sweet bun, which is only a minor thing.

The worker was really nice and kind and the even tho the shop us quite small, it's cozy and offers several seating options.

Thank you for the great meal! ☺️"

"The veggie burger at this place was excellent! It was the only good meal I had in all of Kaikōura. I was skeptical about the pineapple on the burger but even that was good. I think he ran out the back after I ordered and got the fries from McDonalds (kidding, there’s no McDonalds in Kaikoura). Would definitely eat there again if I went back to Kaikoura. Only suggestion would be Heinz ketchup."
