We specialize in dishes that originate from New Zealand! Meat Pies, Vegetarian Pies, Sausage Rolls, Hokey Pokey Ice-Cream, Lolly Cake! Although this food is a little naughty ~ for an occasional treat it warms the soul. On Ski Days its great to give you sustained energy all day long.
So, to keep it healthy this summer, I have added all my own personal favorites and my friends favorites from our travels around the world.

ALY HYDER STARTED SELLING meat pies from a five-foot food truck in Taos Ski Valley during the pandemic. Skiers could enjoy fresh, hot, individually sized meals without even taking off their gloves. They were an instant hit.
"Have you been to New Zealand?" asks Hyder, who grew up there. "There are pies everywhere—in cafés, in bakeries. You go get your gas, and there's a pie warmer at the gas station. But here, it's a niche."
In just a few short years, Hyder moved from the miniature food truck to a full-size model, and then to a full-fledged restaurant, Aly's A La Cart, a charmingly renovated boxcar with a red facade just north of downtown Taos. For summer, Hyder is redoing the patio and outdoor seating area, where diners will have views across the road to a field that is stunning at sunset.

"The menu is Kiwi Food, not as in the fruit, but as in the country - New Zealand, where I'm originally from!
Pies - meat pies, chicken pies, beef beef bourgeon pies, sausage rolls, Lolly Cake, home-made ice-cream, and delicious gourmet sandwiches."
