Manaia Cafe - Tairua

On a Sunday afternoon around 1 p.m. I sat down at a free table outside. It was busy at the time but most of the tables had already had their food. The waiter walked around with food and kept looking from table to table. The food itself looked pretty good. I was not noticed and therefore I was not given a card. After 20 minutes I left the restaurant again because it looked hopeless to me that I would be noticed in the near future and would therefore get food and drinks. A pity.......

Came to Pauanui for a girls weekend and popped over to tairua for dinner. The wood fired pizzas and bao buns were delicious. Great atmosphere sitting outside with the fireplace and the service was outstanding. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
