Monsoon At Rainforest

This is a fantastic bar in an excellent location. It can get quite busy, so I would suggest making a reservation. There are some vegetarian options that can be made vegan. I tried the fried cauliflower and Jackfruit nachos, and they were absolutely delicious.

Superrrrrrr Great experience! Super nice night enjoyed. Have to say Monsoon is the best restaurant of my first trip in NZ. Wine and food matches so great. All the people there are very nice! Trust their suggestions! It won’t let you down. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$50–60

Stopped here for a pint and bite, service was very helpful, and a cool pub restaurant recommend and would go back

Tried here as was staying at the Rainforest Retreat and it’s on site. Booked at the reception for dinner at 6 as they were ‘very busy later on’. When I arrived there were a lot of staff wandering none approached me whilst I waited at the bar. The barman was busy so I asked someone else and was she on to my table. Another wait for a menu. The staff were busily filling water bottles and drinking coke, it’s wasn’t busy at this stage. After the people sat at the table next to me, after me, had their order taken, I got up to ask if I should order myself at the bar. Only then did someone come over and take my order. When it arrived. The food was well cooked and tasty. But the service and staff training needs improvement. The servers and manager seemed more interested in the tour group bookings than the solo traveller.

I ate here twice for dinner. The buffalo cauliflower (vegan) is the best I have ever had. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: NZ$10–20
