Fodor's Expert Review Stationhouse Café

The café is in an old railway house with a superb view across Lake Brunner and the forests and wetlands beyond. Lunch options include chowders, salads, homemade pies with mashed potatoes and peas, blue cod, and chips. For dinner try salmon, lamb, or rib-eye steak. Lake Brunner is an easy day drive from Greymouth, or you can stop off the TranzAlpine train for lunch while it travels out to the coast and back.
