Fantastic food, wine and service. I'd recommed the slow cooked shoulder of lamb simply out standing. The flavours and presentation of the meals was better than most of the big city restaurants I've eaten in recently. The kids loved the meatballs off the kids menu. We loved it so much we wanted to go back for breakfast but they weren't... More

We live near this gem of a cafe and have visited it on a number of occassions. Every visit is always the same - high standard of food and service and nothing can be faulted. Huhu is situated near the Waitomo Caves and has a lovely view over the surrounding beautiful countryside which at sunset is most serene and spectacular.... More

A cafe by day and restaurant by night, this place was recommended by the B&B we were staying at and it was indeed all she promised us. Despite the fact they knew they'd be busy and we had no reservation they found us a table quickly. The food was superb, we tried the arancini, the lamb kofta and the superb... More

Is the best looking place to eat in Waitomo, although more expensive. We had the Scotch fillets which were well cooked and very tasty although slightly fatty in places and not the best steaks we have eaten, and the big chunk of butter on top of the steak didn't add anything to the meal. The complementary home made bread was... More
