Whether you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful, tapas to share with friends, a long lunch or a café/restaurant with unique artistic flair, we have it all just minutes away! Sample the famous Coromandel mussels, local wine and craft beer, and fresh organic produce from local growers. There is no shortage of great food experiences to be found in the Coromandel—just ask us for our personal recommendations.
