The Running Duck Cafe on the Main Street of Geraldine on the South Island of New Zealand, is the coolest cafe in the universe. Here’s why: The Running Duck is the coolest cafe in Geraldine; Geraldine is the coolest town in New Zealand; New Zealand is the coolest county on the coolest planet in the coolest Solar system in the universe. Therefore, the Running Duck Cafe is the coolest cafe in the universe, QED. So come for the great coffee (served with a jaffa) and the superb food, and stay for the super groovy decor and retro memorabilia. For those keen on flagellation, you can stock up on hot sauces from Al’s Laboratory. They have some great merch for sale too. Try one of their signature burgers, their delicious range of Not Burgers, and don’t forget to sample one of the craft beers in the fridge. Kiwi batch living never looked so good or tasted so great. Oh…and don’t forget to check out the toilet which is decorated with old record sleeves and topo maps. Like I said: the coolest cafe in the Universe!
Great cafe in Geraldine! Love the style. Food was great and staff were lovely. I had the fried chicken with mashed potato and gravy on top. The chicken was moist and the crust was nicely seasoned. Chips were well cooked. The gravy on mashed potato is very nice also. Worth a stop if you’re passing through on your road trip :)
Three stars for the place, ambience and nice coffee, but that not all the things that makes a cafe a nice cafe. FOOD is where it missed out. I tried my usual favourite Eggs Bene with bacon. The eggs were as good as boiled eggs instead of poached eggs. I have added a picture for reference. Other than this the hollandaise was fresh.
The running duck is my Tuesday go to. Their poached quail manages to quench my thirst for poultry on a regular basis. I took my spouse to the running duck, and I knew instantly that she was not the one, as she detested your restaurant. However, while on this date, I met a beautiful waitress who solicited my love and affection. What a night! will be back next Tuesday.
What a great retro cafe in such a cute beautiful wee town. The menu was nice with an interesting spin on the kids menu. We came when it was super busy on a wet day, so there was a bit of a wait for our food, but there was a guitar on the wall to pass the time away ( what a great idea!) That museli though, delicious!
I am giving 4 stars because I asked for a takeaway cup but was served in a ceramic cup. Other than that, fantastic. The owner said he styled the place with 'the Bach' feel. And in my opinion he has done an excellent job. There is a guitar, ukulele and a piano(outside) that customers are welcome to play. The staff are super friendly!; and for the boys, are a site for sore eyes
Service was fab and the food was delicious you have to try home made baked beans
