A surprise was in store for us - we had been to Tekapo on a number of occasions and Pepe's was a place we liked - a rustic charming little Pizza special place. Alas - the shop combined floor space with its neighbour and redecorated (which made it lighter in color) and - well in short - had re-opend just a few weeks prior to us arriving there.
The menu was still pretty much the same - so that was great. Ironically we had a regular UN of waiters - of which only one was a Kiwi - the other being Italian / Swiss / Indian / Asian.
The languages notwithstanding we managed to place an order (and noted the absence of Garlic bread on the menu)
The drink arrived shortly after and I was cheeky enough (seeing it been previously been on the menu ) if they still do Garlic bread and - "why yes sir, we do - would you like some?" was the response.
Duh - yeah having missed out the previous night at Peppers ( a place that definitely does not do garlic bread) so there was no real choice. Wonder why they left it of the re-printed menu in the first place. In any case it arrived not before to long.
Sadly like most pizza places these days and very reminiscing of a much earlier consumed bread in the Coromandel ( garlic bread from dinos cafe Coromandel ) it was just a flat piece of pizza base - with the liberal applied butter - almost missing. Its redeeming feature was the added herbs - fresh.
Maybe they left it of the menu beacuse they had not yet decided what to do - or improve the urm Garlic - platter. I am sure that when we go back sometime in the future to check this out!
Meanwhile - we rated this a tad lowly = with a lot of room for improvment
