There are basically three restaurants: The one in The Park Hotel Ruapehu, one pub across the street (great place), and the restaurant inside the train station a 10 minute walk west.

Nice quiet ski village. Easy to drive or walk around. Had some cafes and restaurants open and even a mini-Golf course.

Crossing is why you go...couple of reasonable restaurants etc. but pretty isolated otherwise. No real grocery store.
