Was visiting Taupo with my friend for a few days. We were looking for a boujee place to eat for a celebratory final meal. The Bistro knocked it out of the park. The food was great. They had this surprise salted caramel butter that I wasn’t expecting, that was an especially yum stand out
We made a last minute reservation and felt welcome. The complimentary home baked sourdough bread was delicious and had a crisp crust and beautiful texture. Paired with the salted caramel butter, it hit just the right spot. As always, the food was amazing. It’s our go-to place for pork belly!

What a great find in Taupo! I don’t usually eat 3 courses and hardly ever desert but the menu was enticing. The sous vide squid starter was a little under seasoned but with a bit of salt and pepper it was yummy. The fish main was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. The chocolate lava cake w
Amazing food and service! The calamari and cured raw fish were my favourite! Also loved the complimentary homemade sourdough and lemon brown butter curd served on arrival. The option to pay $65 for a entree, main and dessert was great value for money. We will definitely be back!
The Fish might have been the best fish I have ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside with a deliciously tender interior.
And don’t even get me started on their deserts. We shared… all of them were excellent!
Highly recommend!
Perfect spot for a couples date, quiet and relaxed. The food was delicious, especially dessert. Service was good too and the food came out quickly.
As food lovers, we reserved both nights in Taupo for The Bistro. The menu at The Bistro is relatively simple. We tried almost everything on the menu and they were all very pleasing to the eye.
The chef's selection of ingredients, the deployment of sauces, color matching, and plate presentation ar
My husband and I have been here a few times now, and every time we have had a very positive experience. 😀 the food is delicious, the service is great. The extra touches like celebrating special occasions with delicious fudge and complimentary homemade bread, all make it a great experience.
Such a beautiful atmosphere and service.
Food was just delicious. We were disappointed to don’t tried the degustation menu because we arrived too late (after 8pm). However we were absolutely satisfying of our dinner. My mother even liked the cheese board (we are French and it’s not commun she likes
If you are in Taupo make sure to try The Bistro!
We were there for dinner over Easter weekend and the food is stunning. We had rabbit terrine as entree (not pictured) then the beef with creamy spinach and mushrooms (the white foam hides a delicious ravioli) and the duck with veggies. I wished the du
Here has Kids menu. My boy loved the creamy paster. The market fish dish was very nice with spicy pumpkin mash. Make sure book in advance as they were quite busy.
We had yet another fantastic night at The Bistro. The food is so good and the complimentary bread and butter (with a twist) was delish - yum!!
Some more acoustic panels would work wonders on the noise levels (had elderly parents with us who struggled a bit to hear) - just a suggestion.
Every thing
We were a group of 8 that was on a time limit. The food and drinks
were divine,didnt feel rushed at all. Pork belly was melt in your mouth and the Crème Brulee went down a treat. The Sour Dough with whipped lemon curd butter was also amazing.
I found this restaurant online before I left Sydney, and it was further recommended by two locals. So glad we visited. It was one of the best meals we’ve had in NZ. Each bite was better than the next… so tasty, wholesome and clearly some great quality NZ produce. The service was great, and the staff
Had degustation menu with wine matching. Incredibly tasty, a surprise for each course 😍
Always such a personal and delicious experience, can't wait to go back for our annual anniversary dinner in September. It's hubby's only good steak in town so he got a treat for his birthday this time. So sad when all the food is gone and eaten and we can't afford to buy any more. Ideally we would h
Attended with a table of 13 the night before the Taupo cycle challenge. The food was fantastic and the service was accommodating with a few extra carbs requested for the bike riders. We had a wonderful experience, thank you.
Outstanding Bistro experience and highly recommend. You’ll be taken care of by Jude, his family and crew.
My first time, and I will be back next time in town. 🤩
Warm friendly atmosphere, attentive service and yummy food. We had mains of perfectly cooked fillet steak and duck with perfect crispy skin. Finnished with a well stocked cheese platter. Very satisfying.
