The Running Duck

What a great find in Geraldine. Lovely staff, so nice and helpful and it has a playful vibe about it. The food is 100% comforting, tasty and hits the spot. Love this place. You must stop by if you are passing through Geraldine.

Big breakfast! Wow thats huge and the eggs benny were top notch. The scone was the size of my car and the butter wrapped up was a very cute touch

Great little restaurant! My sandwich was huge and delicious. The staff were nice. Coffee was good. Some funky decor to check out. Would eat here again!

A perfect place for lunch. Honestly one of the best feeds I’ve had in a while that was delicious and great value. Lots of locals at this place so you know it’s good. Staff were friendly and did a good job. I got the chicken burger and the missus got the fried chicken plate and it was a big serving. Coffees were great! If I ever drive between Tekapo and Christchurch again I’m definitely coming back.

Retro Cafe with outdoor seating. Did a coffee break on route from Lake Tekapo - Christchurch.- 2nd stop after Fairlie Bakehouse. Cosy with a fireplace going during the cold winter day - keep us warm. Free parking space behind the Running Duck cafe. More convenient than the P60 on main highway/street. Friendly owner. Good roasted coffee.

Great little café! Loved the groovy decor, food was tasty and coffee was excellent. I ordered the pork and beans and they were amazing. Other things ordered were the French toast, cheese rolls and bacon sandwich. All pronounced very good. Service was swift and reasonable prices even with the 15% holiday surcharge.

It was a mean as burger, dare you to try beef burger, so good, yum! Great coffee as well, recommend anyone

I had the most delicious fried chicken burger (on a gluten free bun) ... One of the best I've ever had!! Just WOW!! Was so nice to sit outside under the umbrella and watch the world go by. The staff were so friendly, coffee was well made, and didn't have to wait very long for the food/drinks to arrive. Highly recommend!!

We made a stop here on our way to Lake Tekapo from Christchurch. It was a nice halfway stopping point with a cute patio outside and a good amount of people dining. Staff was super friendly as we walked in to order. I ordered the Mother Clucker and holy Cluck it was huge! Massive. I could hardly eat it to be honest. I ended up fighting with it a bit and settled for good ol knife and fork. With that being said.... it was worth the struggle and honey all over my hands and face. Really great flavor and loads of chicken. Definitely stop here! Everything on the menu sounded great.

A wonderful coffee stop with friendly staff and great food and drinks! Baked goods, cafe food, takeaway, alcohol, and free WiFi. Cute interior, nice outdoor seating, and great service. Worth a pit stop.

Average food, small portions and weak coffee. Family of five had lunch here. Burgers don't come with chips, soft buns ( McDonalds like ) with adequate filling no extras. no water available with temps of 27 degrees, or at least not easily seen anyway. There are better places.
