In terms of the view one can get, it is hard to beat Astro cafe. The cafe is a glass house situated on the top of Mt. John, next to the observatory. It provides a stunning view overlooking Lake Tekapo, which itself is one of the most beautiful lakes I have ever seen. The spectacular blue colour of the lake is given by "rock flour," which are rocks from nearby mountains ground into dust and became suspended particles in the lake. The coffee at Astro cafe is very good. To be honest, I forgot what the food tasted like because I was too carried away by the view.
