Restaurants in Eastern Bay Of Plenty

  1. A

    Wally’s on the Wharf

    Wally sure knows a thing or two about fish and chips. Hoki, snapper, flounder, john dory and tarakihi – done in the deep fry, on the grill or in a burger. Whitebait fritters in season, and chips that score well on the crispometer.

    Ground Zero

    It’s a good sign when the staff can share a laugh with the boss! Ground Zero’s chipper vibe is infectious, bolstered by cafe delights like Jamaican chicken burgers, veggie stacks with hummus and garlic aioli, Moroccan wraps, and serious coffee and cakes. Sunny outdoor tables, too.

    Rocquette

    A modern waterside restaurant on the ground floor of one of the town’s big new apartment blocks, sunny Rocquette serves up refreshing Mediterranean-influenced fare with lots of summery salads, risotto and fish dishes. Laid-back tunes, good coffee and sexy staff to boot.

    Hunters Bar & Restaurant

    On the ground floor of the old Royal Hotel is this reasonably stylish wine bar, serving upmarket pub grub (you can still get steak and eggs). There are kooky record covers on the walls and occasional wine-appreciation nights.

    Wharf Shed

    An award winner for beef and lamb but famous for its fish dishes, which include locally bagged crayfish, corpulent mussels and fresh Pacific Oysters. Right on the waterside with alfresco dining on balmy evenings.

    Two Fish

    Undoubtedly the best bet for cafe-fare and a coffee fix, serving up hefty burgers, chowder, toasties and salads plus a jumbo selection in the cabinet. Retro-groovy interior and courtyard; happy staff.

  7. G

    New Hong Kong

    This no-fuss Chinese restaurant does Sino-Kiwi grub such as chop suey, chow mein and, of course, chips. Lunch deals ($6) are a good bet, as is the two-hour $10-dish ‘happy hour’ from 5.30pm.

    Bean

    The loungiest spot in town to get good coffee (roasted on the premises). Pull up a chair, and get yourself going with a quick fix and a freshly baked biscuit or bagel.
