Serves meat, vegan options available. Overlooking the fact that the Asian fusion menu is meat-centered, you could get a pad thai or curry with tofu; or the one labeled vegan burger. Open Mon-Sat 7:30am-8:00pm.

Disaster

I paid for soy milk and I received dairy milk. We asked for vegan options and talked about vegan options and we got egg and cow milk. And then they argued with us about it being okay for vegans. And then argued it was fine for vegetarians. Even though we had said we were vegan and talked at length about vegan options specifically distinct from vegetarian options. It was a mess. They were also out of tofu and their vegan burger. Don’t go if you have allergies -can only imagine the disaster if my egg or dairy or nut allergy family members came here.

Delicious vegan green curry

Lovely staff, the waiter checked with kitchen before confirming vegan options for me. The tofu green curry was packed with flavour, veges and tofu. Highly recommend.

Best green curry ever!

Not many vegan options but there was a vegan green curry and it was one of the best we had ever had! So good! The fries are cooked in the same fryer as meat products so be wary of that. The hot chocolate powder was vegan however so we got soy hot chocolates and they were also really nice. We would stop here again if we came to Franz Josef again😄

Green curry is amazing

Would rate this 5 stars if I could! Medium spice was perfect, lots of veges/tofu, and great service

Decent if overpriced

Had the vegan burger, which was pretty good. The dominant flavor by far is from the peanut sauce, which is tasty, but as a result I didn’t really taste the falafel patty. Also, $22 for just a burger without any side (e.g., fries or salad) seems a bit expensive for what you get.

Pros: Ambiance

Cons: Expensive

Awful service, untrustworthy food

Had the worst service I’ve ever experienced at snakebite... the guy was almost laughing at us when we were asking about vegan options, and only replied “I don’t know”. We nearly bought a couple of sushi rolls after he said we were vegan, before my boyfriend made him double check with the kitchen... turns out they had fish sauce all through them.... don’t go there!

Great food

The food was great and the waiter asked if we were vegan for the pad Thai and whether we wanted the egg or not. Thai green curry was amazing

Pros: Good few options, Reasonably priced, Tasted great

Overpriced, but the best you’ll get.

The food wasn’t the greatest & overpriced, but it was one of the only options available in such a small town. They have an interesting range of alcoholic beverages & a few options on the menu that are vegan & a few that can be made vegan, staff seem knowledgeable and friendly.

Pros: Vegan options.

Cons: Expensive

Vegan burger good, limited breakfast options

We liked the vegan burger patty, it was soft, but flavorful. The portions were large!

Few vegan options for breakfast, all the bread was non-vegan.

Vegan options were labeled, and they had one dessert option (chia pudding).

Only 1 vegan option

I had the only option they said was vegan which is the burger and I was not the biggest fan, a bit mushy and dry. I asked about other options as previous comment were talking about the curry but they said it was not vegan !

Good - try the vegan burger

Ordered the vegan burger which was quite good. I enjoyed the sweet sauce and found the patty good as well. The burger doesn’t come with chips so if you want those you need to order as a side. Service was ok - lady who took my order at the counter was quite rude but the other waitress who brought out my order was lovely.

Pros: Vegan options available from menu

Vegan options

The menu has solid vegan options. We had the green curry with tofu and vegan burger. The vegan curry at King Tiger is better, but we appreciated the tofu option. The vegan burger was chickpea based with a sweet sauce. The bread was a bit much, but we just ate without the bread. Overall solid healthy vegan options where you would not expect them.

pretty good

Green curry was delicious!!! The vegan burger had a real good sauce but I wasn't a fan of the pattie. Very mushy.

Good

We got to try their vegan burger which is pretty good, their tofu salad (good too) and their green curry (spicy!). The staff is very friendly. It would be great to see more vegan options on the menu as more and more people are ditching animal products!

Pros: At least 4 vegan options, Friendly staff

Good vegan options

In a tiny town with limited food options, we were really happy to find this place. The vegan burger was delicious, plus we ordered a side salad which was very tasty as well. Prices seemed a bit high, but the quality was there. Would go back.

Needs moisture

We had dinner here and ordered the only vegan item on the menu, the vegan burger. At least it was clearly identifiable. However it consisted of a bun, a dry patty, lettuce and a smear of what seemed like satay sauce. Burger was dry and pasty, and I wondered if this was to force me to buy a pint to wash it down with, which I had to do. The environment is also noisy with music on full volume.

Cons: Dry, uninteresting burger, Noisy

Good variety of vegan dishes

There were a few dishes already vegan such as the vegan burger and a vegan chia pod dessert and meals that could be made vegan such as nasi goreng and pad thai. The staff were super accomodating to adjusting food, making it vegan. The food itself was👌🏽

Vegan Pad Thai

A place with vegan options in Franz Josef! I opted for the Pad Thai, which can be made vegan. It was good and filling, but not really authentic. According to my friend the vegan burger is great. The coffee was the worst I had in New Zealand.

Vegan burger

Was really surprised to see something vegan on the menu. And it didn't disappoint. Great pattie and sweet cashew sauce. Chips are awesome too. Worth eating out for.

Superb vegan burger

The burgers in this place are massive! Vegan burger is very tasty and fills you up nicely and the chips are yummy too. A few good tap beers also and nice atmosphere. Located right in the centre of town.

A gem in Franz Josef

We visited this place after seeing the nearby glacier. It was very cold and rainy so this place was such a cosy spot to sit.

We ordered the vegan burger and a tofu pad Thai. Once we specified that we were vegan the staff offered extra vegetables on the pad Thai!

The kitchen staff really know what they're doing! The burger had a peanut / satay sauce inside, and the pad Thai came with little piles of sugar, chilli, and crushed peanut to garnish. Both were very delicious and filling.

Pros: Atmosphere, Vegan Options, Reasonable Prices

Cons: None

A nice vegan dessert for a late supper....

We stopped here for a late night dessert on the way back to our motel and the coconut chia berry pudding was large and tasty. Both their breakfast and lunch/dinner menus here have vegetarian and vegan options and all of their smoothies are dairy free. They do curries, salads, burgers, noodles, stir-frys and the prices are moderate at around $20 for a main. The portion sizes I observed coming out of the kitchen looked good (and tasty). We checked out most of the menus for eating places in this small town and Snakebite had the largest vege choices by far.

Pros: Nice desserts, Moderate prices, Friendly and fast service

Tasty vegan options

SnakeBite has a vegan asian style burgen in their menu, but they also make delicious vegan green curry. Just ask for vegan options, waiters are nice and friendly!
