2 Best Restaurants in Katikati, Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty

Just off the road but with a backdrop of fruit trees, this is a fitting place to stop for breakfast or lunch in an area known for its fresh produce. A tasty vegetarian choice is the "herbivore" (grilled portobello on a potato rosti stack with house beans and whipped avo). Standard fare like loaded wedges, burgers, and "fush and chups" (a gentle jibe at the Kiwi accent) can be found here, too. Dine inside, or take advantage of the park surroundings and settle at an outdoor table.

The garden bar and restaurant within the 1876-built Talisman Hotel offers quality pub fare, with a focus on using local produce where possible. You’ll meet the locals here, be it over brunch, lunch, or dinner, where your meal could be anything from crammed-full burgers to summer seafood ceviche. Suggested wine matches for the evening mains suggest more care than your standard pub grub.
