One of the best meals I've had in New Zealand! Great service, lovely staff! If you're reading these reviews to decided whether to try it or not, stop reading now and book yourself a table!

D. L.

Nice ambience in a beautiful setting by the waterfront . Waiters were attentive and food was presented well and tasty. Good selection of local beers/ciders/wine .

C. H.

Wow what a fantastic lunch at Apple shed, when we are in Marpua we always usually have lunch at jelly fish but not any more, we love eating out and this lunch was up there, had the fresh Snapper which had this amazing sauce and crispy skin, added to that we had chips on the side and this amazing slaw salad with almonds. I never normally have desert but all 3 of us did and so glad, it was the mouse and it was delectable as was the crumble which I tried. Service was fantastic surroundings sublime and this will be my new go to Restaurant when visiting the area Thanks for a great experience I would give you more than 5 stars I could not fault anything.

S. R.

Staff very attentive but the two we dealt with were both not English language as their main language. Hard to understand with the surrounding noise. The surrounding was great with the children jumping off the wharf. A great place to have a meal out with friends. The fish dish was fantastic with the odd spices to give it the great flavour most enjoyable experience.

A. L.

Awesome view....great tasty food....great atmosphere ..... Very good service. Will be back again for sure. Thanks guys.

D. D.

Amazing food. Very polished service. Great to be back !

V. A.

Booking was pretty easy and the staff were friendly. When we had dinner at this place, it was a Tuesday evening and it took us forever for our food to be served. There were 5 of us. There were only 3 tables of 4-6 people dining but the kitchen was slow with the food service. Another thing to consider is visiting this place when you can still see the wharf as I reckon that this is the selling point of this place. Food was average, serving is in small portions but prices are $$. I love that their toilets are clean and smelling fresh!! Wine list was also average. Ambience is 5-star but the speed of service was a let-down 😔

G. C.

Heavily overpriced place focused on looks rather than customer's satisfaction. "no order changing policy" means that if you don't like any part of a dish they won't swap it. You will have to leave it to waste... as if there wasn't enough wasted food in the world.

M. T.

Awesome friendly and knowledgeable staff. Lamb special was great. Well presented food. VERY fussy husband says he has had better pork belly. Chocolate mousse was so good husband wanted to lick the plate. Butterscotch affrogato was truly sublime. View from windows over inlet was unbeatable. We will be back.

B.

Delicious dinner with a great selection of local wines. Mains can be shared, but we prefer to order our own. Must have: crispy crunchy potatoes! Always a lovely dinner spot when visiting friends in Mapua

M. L.

Had a lovely dinner last night, fish of the day was delicious, service was excellent, recommendation for local beer and wine perfect, and the setting magical. Thanks for a perfect dining experience.

E. F.

A recent turn around and a fresh menu has given this seaside establishment a great kick. The staff from the start were pleasant, informative and chatty. Even offering wine tasting! Good menu options offering local seafoods but not to many that you become overwhelmed. Hot chips and aioli are always a favourite. Gnocchi was lovely as was for the chicken and seafood soup. Soup could have been a little hotter. The garlic bread accompanied was delicious with a generous lathering of both garlic and butter. The surrounding are great for both dining in and outdoors. Desirable tables are located indoors by the windows above the water inlet. Plenty of parking however I suspect over the busy summer season this could change. Overall, reasonably priced delicious food served with smile. Keep it up!

H. M.

Great dinner and service! All the dishes were delicious and well presented complemented with excellent service. Well done with the clear and well thought out vegan options. Will definitely be back next time in Mapua.

J. C.

The views are absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately the mussles were over cooked and mussel flavour lost by the sauces added. The vegetarian meal was tasteless. Service good. We got given wrong drinks twice which were sent back then appeared on bill. Which were taken off before paying. Very dissapointed and strongly recommend you look at your bill carefully and out of our meals steak was great and smokefish small meal was fine in our opinion. Would go back but trying something else.

M.

3 stars for food and service. -2 stars for charging us 15% for service charge for public holiday. The staff would have told us before about these charges. Shockingly 15%. I would suggest please check with staff during holidays 😄

A. T.

The menu has changed and theres a lot of rawish red meat and seafood. They had no GF red meat options, but adapted the steak which l couldnt finish, mostly because there was so much of it. Would have perhaps preferred more of a vege balance.

n. k.

We are on a short holiday in Nelson. Had mussels and pan fried snapper. The flavours of the dishes were so delicious and so different. Throughly enjoyed it.

J. L.

Not my favorite meal but we were probably not the best to enjoy at the time so cannot be too harsh

T. A.

This is a must visit when in Nelson...food was superb, staff were great, location is special for a group dinner night or lunch for two...great to have the option of inside or out door dining. Recommended if you are a foodie...all dishes were done to perfection.

B. C.

Fantastic experience, amazing staff, completely recommend this restaurant. Fabulous night out!!!

S. O.

Delicious food and friendly, obliging staff. Beautiful setting on a summer evening taking advantage of its position on the river with mountains as a backdrop. Highly recommended.

1.

Great place, great staff, super nice food! Yet the portions could be a big bigger. Nice evening there tho. 👍🏻

A. B.

Lovely spot. Delicious food. I had the ceviche. My husband, steak. Both were very good. Highly recommend this place.

B. W.

Great food however the business needs to develop a better appreciation and understanding of the challenges of looking after children with additional needs/intellectual disabilities.

V.

The prices for serving sizes were good. There's a lot of large tables outside so it's good for big groups and families.

l. c.

Fantastic lunch. Lovely spot. I had the green lipped mussels, was perfectly cooked. Great staff.

G. H.

Magical evening. Warm ambience enhanced by wood burner. Our meals were outstanding. A lovely menu to choose from. Table service given by Janelle was so lovely it made our dining experience all the more memorable. Highly recommend.

E. B.

We shared entries and each one was delicious, then the mains came out and they were even better - just done to accentuate their flavours perfectly. Of course, we couldn't resist desert which was a step too far for me and I had to finish all of my chocolate moose. Left feeling thoroughly sated and not in need of any more food for at least a week. Staff were attentive and helpful and overall atmosphere was very conducive to having easy conversations.

B. V.

Excellent service and very good food. Had the venison and the cauliflower. Good portion size.

A. B.

Lovely food and great service, recommended

H. F.

Lovely meal. Fish was a bit fatty, but it’s fish and chips, what do you expect. Salad was beautiful and fresh.

D.

Awesome setting to relax with friends. Plenty of dining options, and a swim off the jetty is good

E. M.

Amazing meals !! Both very satisfied. Everytime I have come here the food is perfect! Lovely service and stunning views. My favourite spot in the Nelson/Tasman region 😍😍

C. T.

Food first class, a bit of effort to delight the taste buds, service by the young team is also worth a mention!

A.

Food was amazing at the apple shed! Complements to the kitchen staff and chief... However one of the front of house staff members made us feel not welcome, was rude in her manner and inhospitable. We heard her using offensive language to her fellow staff.. Witch did not create a warm or comfortable atmosphere as a customer... Really nice place, amazing food but due to this individual we well not return..

M. G.

The food is always amazing and service is fantastic. Also it's kid friendly. We come every time we are in Mapua and it is always incredible. Highly recommend!!!

B.

Very nice food was unbelievable lovely. Staff freindly

L. H.

Wow what a find! When everything was either closing or closed mid week, Apple Shed were coming alive. Really nice ambience inside - simple decor, warm and inviting but it really is the food that was the star of the night. Whoever is in the back cooking is doing an amazing job. Absolutely devine three course meal! Will Absolutely recommend five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

K. P.

Good food, views and service. Everything is very laid back, as you'd expect in this area, but that doesn't diminish the quality.

G.

Loved the location, the food was just fabulous and the service friendly and highly orofessional

G. A.

Great food. Thursday’s spice night was authentic and delicious. Chef Jaggi’s mushroom curry was amazing. Loved the food.

A. G.

Wandered into Mapua and managed to secure a table here on New Year’s Eve. It’s got such a great vibe and the service was perfect! We ordered a lot (the menu was too good not too!) so it was hard to pick a highlight but everything was so well thought out and complimented each other perfectly. Our waitress (she was from Argentina - didn’t catch her name sorry!) was so attentive and really made the whole dining experience top notch as often this can be where a lot of places fall short. Absolutely 5* and could not recommend enough - whatever you are doing guys keep on doing it!

江.

Really nice restaurant by the sea. The croquette and the fish of the day is great.

M.

Lovely place beside the water. Great staff

J. B. R.

Nice menu Beautifully presented food Great service from the waitress Sadly there was a very long wait to receive the food The beef cappaccio was tender melt in your mouth tastiness. The black garlic aioli was a wonderful! The coconut dessert with poached tamarillo topped with crushed biscuits was not as tasty as it could have been sadly

S. W.

Had a pork burger and was very tasty. Friendly staff and nice setting. Coffee was good.

O. M.

Impeccable lunch on the deck overlooking the estuary. Dog friendly and attentive staff

D. E. M.

Great for lunch we had fish and chips the fish was fish and the chips tasted of potato.

R. S.

We're locals who haven't eaten here since the new ownership. What a revelation! From the decor to the dishes, it was utterly delightful. We were well taken care of. The food was fabulous and the wait staff, very professional. Hands down the best place to enjoy excellent food in Mapua.

N. H.

Great food, service & ambience on a nice May day.

C. B.

The John Dory fish is quite tasty! Great service :), the manager is awesome, would definitely go back!

K. B.

Great food and dog friendly, they even made a Pupacinio for my dog. Lovely experience

D. V.

A great place to enjoy lunch by the water. The food was great and the wait wasnt long. The portions are decent size and the waitress was super friendly.

R. P.

Had a lovely evening, a delicious meal and wine, waited on by really friendly staff. Only downside was on going to pay, we hadn't finished our bottle of wine which we wanted to take back to our accommodation, only to be told by the person at the till that we could not take it with us as they only had an "on" license not an "off" license. We both felt this was somewhat petty as we were going walk 5 minutes up the road, we were the last to leave and there was absolutely no one else around. To be sticking so rigidly to the alleged rules was a bit much.... We're both over sixty and not really going to be going to cause a riot in sleepy Mapua! Lesson..... If you buy a bottle of wine with a decent mark up at the Apple Shed, down it all before you leave!! No sour grapes, just a cautionary tale. Otherwise great 😁😁

T. K.

Nice spot for a bite to eat on the wharf. The menu has lots of interesting options.

S. S.

Fabulous location, incredible food and some of the best service I've ever had. Sarah was an absolute delight from beginning to end. The house made bread and Burger buns are phenomenal! A must do on the Mapua waterfront.

T.

Nice food, lovely views, good staff

K. W.

Absolutely outstanding food and service and reasonably priced. Presentation and quality of food 5 star. Manager was very friendly and professional and staff were excellent. Cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful place. The textures and flavours of each course was Michelin star quality.

A.

Great food, great service. House cider was excellent 😁

V.

In spite of a very busy night, the food was excellent and so was the service. Glad to be back.

H. B.

Fabulous place for a special night out. Wonderful food with delicious options for vegans and vegetarians, outstanding service, and - dogs allowed in the outside area. Beautiful setting, I'll be back.

M. S.

Aaaaamazing food! Me and my partner loved it!

F. M.

Beautiful location, good service and we enjoyed the apple cider they had on tap! However we felt the food was a bit underwhelming for the price of fine dining. We had the sourdough bread with humus, the kingfish ceviche and the pork belly. The bread and humus were both very tasty. The ceviche had good flavour but lacked finesse - the fish and salad were chopped into very random sized pieces, like someone had just done a rough chop - some tiny and some huge. The pork belly was the main disappointment as it was quite dry and extremely salty which made it difficult to enjoy. It was served with roast potatoes that tasted like they had been reheated after being cooked a couple of days ago. For 30 something dollars the pork was definitely the most disappointing. However if the chef made some minor changes the menu could probably improve enough to make this an excellent establishment.

J. T.

Nice place for lunch. Good views and tasty food. Good for groups and for a special treat. The desert was a work of art and palate approved. Parking needs to be a little bit away as the whole wharf area at Mapua is busy with shops and restaurants. So when you drive in best to parlay the first ace yousee as it is not easy to turn around. Booking ahead can be helpful and helps get you a table with a view. It is a lovely view even in the rain.

K. S.

Always a good experience, great service, lovely food, excellent wine list and amazing setting. So lucky to have this only "down the road". Thanks Keiran & Team!

K. M.

Ok. The FOH maitre de was rude. Coffee was good but not hot.

S. O.

Went for lunch had the beef capacio, awesome. My friend had the king fish, awesome too. Nice to have something a bit different.

D. v. d. S.

After 2 weeks of holidaying in NZ I can honestly say we had the best meal so far in The Apple Shed. Delicious fish soup. Followed by a perfectly fried local white fish I forgot the name of. The Chardonnay (wine of the week) was one of the best I ever tasted. Well balanced with not too much oak. Staff was very friendly and attentive.

R. H.

Wonderful food. Subtle detail in the taste of each dish - we had vegetarian and fish. Beautiful atmosphere. Recommended!

L. W.

Delicious Beer battered fish and chips. Excellent mochacino and ricotta cheesecake.

P.

Great food and service. Wonderful weather

P. A.

k. l.

Beautiful setting with lovely vegan options

M. T.

Great location by the water. Very relaxing. Very nice staff and the food is okay.

L. T.

Awesome 😎 loved the beer battered fish and chips

H. T.

We were a party of 3 and given a great table by the window with awesome view. The kumara gnocchi is delicious. My brother had a salmon dish and my friend got a vegan cauliflower dish which they both liked it a lot. Thank you for providing such cozy ambiance with good food and service!

R. W.

Walked in needing a table for two and the waitress was so accommodating. Had the seafood soup, pumpkin risotto, beef carpaccio and 300g flat iron steak; all were excellent. Perfect service and great food. If I lived in the region, this would be my go-to place for dinner! Would absolutely recommend.

S. C.

Excellent food, lovely service, awesome location especially in the evening sun. Waterfront too.

J. C.

Beautiful, elegant and tasty food.Lovely surrounds and stunning water views, great for a treat, or a special occasion. Thoroughly recommend!

N.

Great food and views to dine at.

A. T.

Food was superb. Vegan friendly, but would have liked a dairy-free icecream option. A slight mix-up with the order but staff were very helpful and friendly. The setting is beautiful.

S. S.

Had late morning tea of cheese and date scones. They were great. Relaxing setting looking out across water to Rabbit Island. Service was mixed. Some staff bit brisk/ cold. Others friendly and warm. We go in whenever in the area.

T. M.

Best lazy lunch in a long time. The cafe was really busy and we still didn't have to wait long for service. The food was amazing, best carpaccio ever. Totally recommend.

G.

Another great place to eat. Good parking for campers. Try the Battered John Dory.

P. A.

Awesome location ... the estuary views are outstanding plus the restaurant is great location to enjoy the sunset. Dining menu is outstanding as is the service... gluten free options are excellent.... highly recommended restaurant with prompt and attentive service!!

G.

Over price for what you get went to kfc for a snack after having a meal there so will not be going back there

J. L.

Good food, great view and a wide range of craft beer.

N. E. B.

A lovely relaxing afternoon having a coffee and tea, friendly staff members. Clean and spacious. Lovely indoor to outdoor flow. Love sitting on the deck next to the water. Thank you.

L. H.

My friend and I went for dinner on Monday night while staying in Mapua. We came across the Apple Shed on our walk down to the Mapua Wharf and we were not disappointed. The restaurant is beautifully furnished with a nice atmosphere and great views over the water (in high tide). Waitresses were also really friendly and helpful and let us try both types of Pinot Gris before deciding which one we liked best. The food was the standout of the night though. We were blown away at how amazing it was. I don’t usually order vegetarian dishes but the cauliflower risotto appealed from the menu and was absolutely delicious. Then we had the chocolate mousse with coffee ice cream, pear purée and salted caramel popcorn. This was also delicious. Both meals beautifully presented and combination of flavours of both dishes worked perfectly together. Meal sizes were perfect for us too, as they allowed room for dessert without being too full. The best food we’ve had since being in New Zealand so far. If this restaurant was in Melbourne I would say the Apple Shed was worthy of a Chef’s Hat!

P.

Fabulous food, great service. Full compliments to chef, kitchen staff and service people.

J. M.

Recently enjoyed the most superb fish of the day meal - snapper, beautifully cooked and presented. Received excellent service and a great night overall. Thank you. So good - keep it up.

F. H.

Great service in a lovely setting. Nice way to spend an evening having a great meal and a glass of wine overlooking the water.

R. V. B.

Our number one favorite restaurant here in the area. Delicious food, super friendly staff, superb location right on the Mapua wharf. We live locally and go there almost weekly, and every single time it’s amazing.

J. P.

Beautifully presented, tasty, fresh and well seasoned food. A delight to eat! The location over looking the water was a lovely ambience.

D.

Just simply love it. All round good food, great friendly atmosphere.

K. K.

$40/person mid-week, my partner and I took one entree two mains and a dessert, wow! Presentation made the meals so delectable then the flavors and quantity were awesome. We will be back.

J.

Lovely food service good

M.

Excellent menu & great ambience

L. B.

Had a lunch time booking for 6 and was allocated a great corner table with an amazing view. The service we received was excellent. We all had the fish and chips with salad. The meals were served very quickly and were great.

A. W.

3 of us shared some lovely oysters and salmon croquettes. I hv marked it down a star as, although we enjoyed 2 steak mains and 1 fish, we felt there cd have been more choice than one fish, two meat and 2 vegetarian mains.....chicken?..and the wooden seats are really hard and not conducive to relaxation. Friendly efficient staff.

C. A.

Lovely lunch. Picked vegetables paired with smoked pork, an elegant pairing. Pleasant atmosphere, corner table with a view over the estuary.

S.

Staff friendly, food excellent.

J. O.

We had pretty much the entire outdoor area on a Sunday lunchtime as we were a party of 25. Quick service and the food was good. 🙂

L. B.

Food was great. Felt like we were relegated to a 'family table' because we had 2 young children with us when we were told where to sit rather than given a choice. I knew this must be where they plonk the families because floor under the table had plenty of remnants from the previous family's food.

L. S.

Lovely place with great food and service. We had both pan-fried and battered fish meals, very well presented and tasted great. Home made soup dough bread was amazing.

K.

Delicious food and friendly waiting staff. Great communication regarding booking as well.

G. P.

Fantastic meal very nice staff. Great atmosphere with a fabulous view. Food was scrumptious.

l. o. p. p.

Menu caters for most tastes and we were spoilt for choice. The gnocchi was divine. Service was excellent and the waiters were friendly and informative. A positive experience all round

P.

Nice venue and great cheese scone

K. G.

Pretty good service but first up was given a spoon not well cleaned, risotto had fennel so anniseed flavour overwhelmed dish. However had an entertainment sticker well placed but they didn't ask if we had one, so just as well I saw the sticker.

L.

Very nice food, the pork belly is excellent. Great selection of beers.

M. A. G.

We were a group of twenty people having our end of year lunch. The food was very good and served in a good time especially as there was a crowd of us. The wait staff were very pleasant, friendly and helpful and nothing was a trouble. Thank you very much

W. P.

Excellent food and fantastic service. If the management read this, you need to know you have a hospitality star in our waiter for our meal, Caleb.

D.

Most delicious meal I've had in ages. Wonderful,delightful staff and service.

Best steak ever..beautifully presented with seasonal veg..staff friendly and patient.. Clean surroundings but being asked at payment if was leaving a tip was bit of shock and first time had ever been asked so giving 4 star instead if 5

C.

Wonderful views, exceptional service. Can't wait to try the food!

J. S.

Good food - Attentive service- pleasent atmosphere. Have never been disappointed eating here

S. S.

Delicious food, decent menu, great outlook over Mapua / Rabbit Island - and very professional staff / service.

V. F.

My main course was lovely. The setting is beautiful. Our mains were delicious. Our dessert was not up to the standard of the mains however.

N. M.

A great place to enjoy a quick coffee or a three course dinner. Friendly staff who remember your coffee order even when I don't visit every week. A great location too.

L. R.

Favorite for the last 25+years. Lovely views of the mooring. Parking okay can be busy. Nice selection of food

G.

Some really nice young staff and a grumpy older one - recent menu tweeks have decreased the quality of the food. Shame, while Jelly Fish was undergoing refurb and Apple Shed would have been coining it in, they've shot themselves in the foot. Now just average 3, was a 4.

H.

Superb service and food... great selection of wine too

J. K.

Food was very good. We thoroughly enjoyed the mussels and the squid rings. The Chilli sauce served with the squid was absolutely delicious.

K.

Lovely location. Nice food. Friendly staff.

R.

Great views, food & atmosphere

N.

Underwhelming sorry apart from the location on the water.

M.

The Brisket Burger was just fantastic

L. H.

Had a lovely lunch here recently. Food and service was impeccable and the view is gorgeous. Will be coming back for sure!

K. A.

I completely disagree with Faiz's comments. Maybe he brought a packed lunch and tried to cover it up. What a great brunch experience. Food? Nailed it. Coffee? Slogged it out of the park. Service? Hat tip. Value for money? I even had some sir Edmond's left over. Constructive Feedback? The tip option that comes up when you pay on eftpos. I feel it is a little to soon for that NZ. Comming back? Definitely.

L. S.

The service was amazing, we got our meals within 10 minutes! The food was spectacular and presented nicely. Keep it up!

G. F.

Great meal and really good service Also the outlook is very scenic.

Great food. Great wine. Great service. My best fish in the last years. Very happy of the choice.

L. A.

Menu a bit disappointing and slightly boring but average. Cold and not very cosy even though they had a big log burner in the centre of the restaurant that unfortunately was not being used.

F.

Was beautiful our table was right by the water unfortunately we only drink beer for the food looked good but we didn't try it like to go there again

A lovely modern restaurant set on the edge of the inlet. The staff were friendly and the servive was efficient and relaxed. We both had the snapper which was beautifully cooked and served on a bed of cucumber which was novel. A very enjoyable evening out.

J.

(Translated) It is a very nice place with tables both inside and outside overlooking the river. The food is very tasty, the prices are not very cheap. A good dish (not abundant but fine) ranges from $ 30-35 and desserts between 12 and 15. (Original) Es un lugar muy lindo con mesas tanto adentro como afuera con vistas al río. La comida es muy rica, los precios no son muy baratos. Un buen plato (no abundante pero que está bien) oscila entre los 30-35 dólares y los postres entre 12 y 15.

M.

Das Fleisch ist butterweich, Kartoffeln knusprig....und auch unser Nachtisch war ein Gedicht. 5 Sterne mit !!!☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

(Translated) Nice place with a beautiful view over the Mapua bay. Good food, well priced for a popular place for locals. Good meat, you better skip the irish coffee .... very friendly service. (Original) Leuk tentje met prachtig uitzicht over de Mapua baai. Goed eten, goed geprijsd voor een populaire plek voor locals. Goed vlees, de irish koffie kun je beter overslaan....zeer vriendelijke bediening.

(Translated) A nice tent with a view of the water. Small but good menu. Meat, fish, vegetarian ... The pumpkin risotto was delicious and the steak was a large portion and good quality. You get your money's worth here. (Original) Een leuk tentje met zicht op het water. Kleine maar goede menukaart. Vlees, vis, vegetarisch.. De pompoenrisotto was heerlijk en de biefstuk was een grote portie en kwalitatief goed. Je krijg hier waar voor je geld.
