High Country Salmon

Popped here for dinner whilst staying in twizel! There is a mix of preprepared food and menu items - seating is all self service! The food was very tasty we got a few things to share! The salmon was all very tasty! Only issue we had was my dad wanted a well done steak which they only cook their steak to be medium rare.

Unfortunately, this restaurant did not meet my expectations. While the salmon was fresh, the sushi itself was cold and tasted as though it had been pre-prepared. I ordered the cooked salmon sushi and the pork belly, but neither dish was enjoyable. The view is decent, but overall, the experience did not justify the visit. I do not plan on returning.

An absolute must visit! I am glad I came here. There is a sashimi and smoked salmon section with other goods like tea pots, souvenirs and then there is a cafe which overlooks the salmon farm. They have sashimi that tastes buttery and rich and smoked salmon with various flavours (really liked it). Inside the cafe they also serve sushi. If you go outside on the deck there are pellets that you can feed the young salmon. Overall, very pleasant experience. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you to the young lady in the fish shop and deli, you were helpful and also thank you to the tall young guy in the cafe.

Since so many good reviews we make a special trip here to try. We have ordered the fresh salmon, some sushi's to try it. Salmon meat tasted good the the cut is thicker comparing to other restaurants. We tried the chicken sushi, personally find it is not that great. The indoor sitting area is not too big so could sit outside especially in warm day.

We stopped at High Country Salmon and loved it! The Ultimate Salmon Platter was fresh, generous, and so tasty, and the Logans Burrata was creamy and paired perfectly with the salmon. Service was quick and friendly, and the views made the experience even better. Definitely worth a stop if you’re passing by! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fishing experience was okay as the lady staff didn’t really know even how to fix the fishing line and was a bit too extreme to keep most of our family behind the fence (probably health and safety reason). She could be a bit more approachable and friendly. The caught fish was well prepared. Restaurant food was fresh and sushi platter was the best which my family raved about. Salmon is definitely of highest quality. We will definitely order online soon! Highly recommended!!

We visited at 14:00, and the restaurant was still quite crowded. We ordered the slow-stewed lamb, which was delicious. The meat was first stewed and then grilled, giving it both tenderness and a wonderful aroma. We also tried the spicy salmon sushi—not exactly authentic, but still very tasty. The staff were helpful and quick to clean tables. The restaurant has a semi-outdoor seating area with tables of various sizes, accommodating different group sizes. Overall, we had a pleasant dining experience here.

Had dinner at High Country Salmon near Twizel — great experience overall! The salmon sashimi was fresh, tender, and full of flavour. The chowder was a little on the salty side, but the ingredients tasted very fresh. The fries were perfectly cooked — crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. A nice spot to enjoy good salmon dishes with a lovely atmosphere by the water.
