Restaurants in Waitomo Caves

  1. A

    Huhu

    Easily the best choice, you won’t be disappointed if you come here twice a day. Slick and modern with charming service, it has great views from the afternoon-tipple-friendly terrace and sublime contemporary NZ food. Graze from a seasonal tapas-style menu (large or small plates) of Kiwi specialities such as rewana bread and beetroot-coloured urenika potatoes. Free wi-fi, too. Downstairs the Huhu Store sells designer NZ gifts.

  2. Roselands Restaurant

    Set amid genteel gardens 3km from Waitomo and popular with the tour-bus set, Roselands runs a generous lunchtime buffet: fresh fish, stir-fries and great-looking steaks.

  3. B

    Morepork Pizzeria & Cafe

    At the Kiwi Paka backpackers is this cheery joint, a jack-of-all-trades eatery serving breakfast, lunch and dinner either inside or out on the deck. The ‘Caveman’ pizza is a winner (the first person to ask for more pork will be shown the door).
