Café Nevé

This cafe was one of the, that we counted, two places that serve food in Fox. We ended up here for a good portion of our day because our glacier hike was cancelled. We went into the cafe, conveniently just across the street from the Alpine Guides, just to grab a cappuccino to ward of the tiredness/keep the chill out of our bones from the constant rain.

It ended up that we didn't just grab the cappuccino, but we had coffee and stayed for the majority of the morning. The cafe has a nice atmosphere around it, since it's one of the few congregating places in Fox, and it was very bustling the morning we were there because there were plenty of stuck hikers. Not only did we have a great conversation with our roommate, a British backpacker, but we ended up having a decent conversation with what seemed to be half the restaurant about what else but what the Americans thought about their country's policies.

It was really one of the first times since we left our friends in Wellington that we had a really good chance to sit and talk with other people, including locals, and we really quite enjoyed that. Plus, the coffee was good and it was a nice place other than the hostel to while away the morning while we were waiting for our terminal walk in the afternoon. I didn't have much of the food, other than a taste of the croissants, but I did enjoy the coffee, which is good, it being a cafe!
