Blue Ice Café

Fodor's Review:

The two levels here can carry you from an early dinner through the wee hours. Go downstairs for a dinner of local standbys such as West Coast whitebait, venison, or lamb, with homemade bread. (It can be a bit chilly in winter, so bring your jacket.) Upstairs there's a bar where you can order a pizza and rack up at the free pool table. Because it has a 3 AM license and regularly hosts DJs, this becomes the town's late-night party spot during the tourist season.
