  Matterhorn had some of the nicest food I have enjoyed in New Zealand. However, this can only be said about the entrees and the freshly shucked oysters which were definitely the best I have ever eaten. Unfortunately the mains were a bit of a letdown. I ordered the venison which had a powdery texture with beetroot that was a bit salty and sour. It was also a bit loud inside, but after having a bit of wine you soon get used to it and add your raised voice to the choir. Overall a great experience.

  Great location and ambience. Excellent choice of food and drinks at competitive prices. Excellent service.

  Food was alright, though my cut of steak was 15% inedible grisslely fat, chips were chunky but dry. Also it closes down tomorrow as the building it's in is being torn down due to earthquake susceptibility.

  I'm not sure why the rave reviews. Have I missed something? I've been here maybe six or more times in the last three years. Sometimes we've booked for a meal, other times we've just rocked up for coffee during the day. We've always get greeted warmly. In winter we've been for two wedding anniversaries in the evening and have been really cold both times. I've worn fingerless gloves and kept my woollen coat on. They've got a fireplace but it only keeps those sitting in front of it warm and smelling of wood fire. The food has been average. I sent one meal back because the meat was over salted and the vegetables were over cooked. The continual opening of the door between the smokers and non smokers creates a draft, let alone lets cigarrette smoke in. During the day it's quite dark inside. I've had one hot drink were the milk was too hot but the rest were great.

  We went here because of all the good reviews. However turns out very disappointing. The food was well presented, but the volume was definitely NOT value for money. Service was fine though.
