Mangawhai Tavern

Had to put back a bouquet of flowers I had picked out at the Sunday markets so my boyfriend could buy some crispy cauliflowers instead. Cauli tasted delicious, only disappointment was that they didn’t last very long when I displayed them in a vase. Updated from previous review on 2022-10-11

Everything we had was incredibly flavourful. The mushroom burger was hands down the best I’ve ever had! They are very flexible when it comes to adjusting the menu and most items on the menu have a vegan option with some automatic vegan items too. We kept going back every day for a week to try different items on the menu as there were so many options to choose from that were delicious we couldn’t just have one choice!

I forgot to take pictures of the food, but it was so delicious! I ordered the Ika Mata (raw fish) and my husband had the Caesar salad. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. The atmosphere was great and the customer service was excellent. We will definitely be returning.

The burger was terrible, but the fries were excellent. The beer was fantastic. The service was good and the view was amazing. We plan to return, but we will skip the burgers next time.

We had an amazing cauliflower steak at the tavern. My girlfriend enjoyed munching on the surrounding beetroot and even fed some to the bees. Personally, I just ate the food and savored every bite.
