The Suter Cafe

This is a wonderful spot that often gets overlooked. It's definitely part of the fabric of Nelson. Dine on gorgeous food and coffee surrounded by the lush greenery of the public gardens, at this sophisticated, arty little cafe. Turn it into an afternoon and check out the gallery while you're there.

They were very busy so the service took a long time. However once recieved the food was lovely and the staff were accommodating.

Got in just before they closed, great meal and friendly staff. Coffee and food were prepared quickly.

It was busy but food was served quite quickly and very well presented and tasty. We even had desert.

Love the fit out of the suter cafe, stunning design and ideal location. Best part of my visit was sitting outside sipping coffee amongst the crisp fresh gardens. Good drinks and lots of yummy food including 'the suter bowl) - 2 salads and a protein. Only issue I had was an 'off' feeling with the service. When ordering our stuff the lady at counter kept referring to my girlfriend and I as 'madam' in a sarcastic insincere tone of voice. As ladies in our twenties I found this quite condescending and a bit of a put off. I mean my mum called me madam as a 5 year old when I was being rude or a bit bossy which we definitely were not. If service was elevated and less over the top the suter would be getting full marks.
