  1. A

    Fire Place

    Living up to its name, the modern interiors wrap around big stone chimneys and open fires. The excellent wood-fired pizzas ($20) are big enough for two, saving room for the phenomenal desserts. In the off-season look out for cracking specials like the $15 Sunday roast.

    Cafe Nina

    Barbecue for breakfast? Why the hell not. Too cool to be constricted to four walls, the kitchen grills bacon and eggs on an outdoor hotplate while the punters spill out onto tables in the park.

    Sangam Indian Cuisine

    North India comes to Whitianga via this large, upmarket restaurant with exotic light fittings. If the kids aren’t spice-friendly there’s a fish-and-chips lifeline.
