Indulge in a taste of our place! The Coromandel is famous for its fresh food and talented chefs. Most of the food served in our top cafes and restaurants comes from close by, fresh from the ocean or homegrown local produce.
This unique blend of regional influences has created a mouth-watering range of flavours and fare available from cafes and restaurants. Be sure to book ahead, especially when eating out in our busy season.
In particular in The Coromandel look out for macadamias, local cheeses, boutique wines, craft beers, crayfish, paua (abalone), Pacific oysters and mussels.
