We ate here twice during our stay in Taupō. Delicious, good value for money, good service. Plus they are open in that awkward in between time of the afternoon when daytime places have closed but evening places haven’t.

Visited on the weekend (twice) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially recommend the tapas. The rocket, pear, Parmesan and balsamic was very,very good. Complemented the lamb cutlets nicely nicely. Thoroughly recommended.
