Lake Bistro - Taupo

Weve been meaning to try Lake Bistro since we moved to Taupo and weren't disappointed. We sat on the terrace and caught the end of a sunset and were warm and cozy all night. The food was flavorsome, and all 4 of us had something different and it was all delicious. My wife is very particular about fish and asked for the market fish to be cooked lightly. It was perfect and the best she's had in years. You've restored her faith in restaurant fish which is often overcooked. We were all full but the waitress, Luna, convinced us to share the special dessert, an Easter Egg with meringue mushrooms on a bed of chocolate and crumbled carrot cake earth. It was superb and rounded off our meal. All the staff were attentive and friendly. We'll definitely be back

Lovely experience great location service and food. I had the fish of the day which was Harpuka (grouper) and really delicious several members of our part are vegan and found some great choices on the menu. Highly recommend!

Amazing food, accompanied by a great selection of drinks. Very lovely staff who would look after you and the outdoor seating was just lovely with natural plants and decor. Superb location which has good views and a stone’s throw away from Lake Taupo.

Taupō’s best hidden local gem! Their pastries are the best in NZ. Such a gorgeous vibe with the cosy fit out, views of the lake. We love the bistro! Both breakfast and dinner menus are delicious. Fresh season produce. Highly recommend you pop in.

Delicious breakfast/brunch amongst leafy enclosed terrace with glorious views of lake and mountains. Turkish eggs, Duck hash and smashed avocado all fab. Perfect coffees too. Highly recommend .
