We have been to Tekapo before and decided to give all the eateries there a fair go - so instead of going back to the tried and true, we gave Pepes a whirl.  The bread - surprise surprise was a flat pizza bread (this seems to be a common theme amongst pizza places - figure they have the flat dough already on the go - so why bother with another yet to be baked bit, ergo must be a cost/labour saving thing).
Anyhow this "garlic-bread" in that sense was no different - however as you can see from the picture it was folded back on itself towards the middle and tucked in on the centre which is a departure from the usual presented flat garlic-bread.  It contained a few mushrooms and was liberally sprinkled or should that be stuffed with cheese and some herbs.  From Garlic was little to discern and it lacked the flavour. Portion size - as you can see from cellphone and side-plate - 4 pieces each for two people. Served on the same wooden platter the pizza would have come to the table (I guess that is practical and saves on extra dishes to buy or wash - but does lack originality). The cheese made it more filling then it ought to have been. Due to the cheese present it was a bit greasy - to much for my liking and I rate this as a no frills bread.  Cost --$ 9 (although to be fair- good marks for doing something originally with the "bread")
