Great local place for breakfast, lunch or just a cold drink after a ride/run. Glen the chef has some amazing experience and when we asked for plant based food he provided a fantastic smashed avo for our lunch. Great selection of ciders and beers. Highly recommend this as a great day trip from Taupo.
Beautiful little cozy place near the beach. Definitely makes one of the best coffee in the area. Great selection of teas as well if you not a coffee person. Try the green tea with coconut, you won't regret it. The place is open for dinner too but unfortunately couldn't try it yet.
We have been coming to Kinloch for over 20 years, but this is our first visit to Tipsy Trout in many many years. Previous incarnations were rather average. I had started to hear positive comments, so it was time for a visit.
The menu isn’t super adventurous but the dishes we tried (BLAT and beef bur
Great place on a wet day. Good coffee and mulled wine, but no fish and poor selection of slice or cake. They catered for gluten free but not ordinary tastes. They did not look appealing.
The savoury food we ordered was good.
Over from Sunny Coast Queensland and pop out for a drive. Found this lovely Cafe and had BLT and a pot of chips.
Amazing food, well presented and delivered to our table by a Friendly lady.
Free WiFi and a wood burner to keep the place warm
We went to the Tipsy Trout as a birthday present for my partner and absolutely loved it, the burgers were so delicious and filling, by far the best I've had from anywhere and the desert was amazing! Staff are so friendly and accommodating. Such an amazing experience we decided to book for the next n
I ordered the Tipsy Big Breakfast & my Partner ordered the Bacon Eggs Benedict, and although it was a busy day and it took around 25 minutes for the food to come out, it was tasty and memorable. Will 100% go there again when I come through Kinloch, and it’s a must try.
Amazing food! We had to wait a little long (understandably as we were a group of 8) but totally worth it! Beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were lovely also
Amazing place! The food is incredible, our table of 7 ordered 5 of the southern fried chicken burgers, 1 salt and pepper squid and 1 BLAT. It was a last minute phone call to grab a table and they fit us in, even though they were super busy with an event in town. Will definitely be coming back again.
UPDATE 18/01/2021: local- and awesome - Lakeman beer now on tap!!
Great restaurant for locals and visitors alike. The setting is optimum with indoor and outdoor eating, making it great both summer on the terrace, and winter by the wood burner. The food is excellent and the selection very good. For
Six of us had coffee ,lunch and dinner at this Cafe, great selection of meals that were very enjoyable and a reasonable price. No complaints regarding these meals and happy serve, wouldn't hesitate to return with friends.
Lovely meals. Great service. Thanks to the young lad who recommended the fish dish tonight. He was lovely and attentive and we appreciated the service. Keep up the great work. All members of our party of 7 enjoyed their meals very much.
My partner and I had an awesome dinner at the Tipsy Trout. The staff were wonderful and attentive too. They also gave great advice when we couldn't make our minds up. Very local New Zealand vibes. The place also has a lovely outlook to the bay and warf area too. I'm glad we made it an earlier bookin
Great food with friendly service.
Friendly little eating establishment. Not very private or intimate .Food was promptly served but I wouldn't have called my steak 'fillet' more 'porter house's to me.
Price was reasonable and good coffee
