The Cow Shed Restaurant
About
For a restaurant in South Island, The Cow Shed Restaurant serves dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, 17:00-21:00. Whether you need to book ahead is worth settling before you travel, since a table at a venue with this much local attention can fill on busy evenings.
Diners have pushed the restaurant to 4.8 out of 5, a score carried by 347 reviews. That is a serious weight of feedback for a restaurant on South Island, and it suggests a kitchen that regulars return to rather than one that relies on passing traffic. Walk-ins may still work outside peak hours.
37 Waller Street, Murchison 7007 places the venue in the island's northern reaches, within reach of Nelson and Blenheim. The kitchen serves a menu built around restaurant fare, giving the table a clear identity.
The restaurant keeps a website at http://lazycow.co.nz/ where its latest information is posted. English is the main language and te reo Māori is also official, so Māori place names are used throughout the country. New Zealand weather is changeable, and the surrounding ocean keeps both summer heat and winter frost moderate.
