About

The Alpine Grind, on South Island, keeps a website at http://www.thealpinegrind.co.nz/ and a 4.8 out of 5 average across 132 reviews, placing it among the better-reviewed cafés on the island. First-time visitors can expect a café setting on the main street of Methven, at 121 Main Street, Methven 7730, New Zealand.

Methven sits within reach of Christchurch, so the café can be reached from the city and from the wider area by road. Queenstown, Christchurch, Dunedin, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura all sit within reach for anyone touring the island. The 4.8 out of 5 average across 132 reviews reflects steady satisfaction among those who stop in.

The café's website at http://www.thealpinegrind.co.nz/ carries the details of what is offered. Methven sits inland from Christchurch, so the town serves as a useful base for anyone travelling through the region.

English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country, including on the signs around Methven. The Southern Alps run down the South Island, and the North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, which shapes the country the café sits within.
