Food & Drinks - Pavilion Restaurant Taupo Hotel

Wairakei Resort Taupo

Breakfast buffet, fusion cuisine and juicy steaks

Pavilion Restaurant

With a wood ceiling and an open-plan layout, the Pavilion Restaurant provides a relaxed ambience for a buffet breakfast as well as à la carte evening dining. The chefs view cooking as a challenge and aim to blend Asian and New Zealand cuisine with locally sourced produce, such as salmon from Marlborough Sound, grass-fed beef from Northland and herbs from sustainable farms. They deliver tantalizing dishes alongside popular seasonal buffets every weekend. You can pair dinner with New Zealand wines before treating yourself to tempting desserts using fruit grown in the rich soil of the central North Island. On Saturdays, there is a themed buffet, while the Sunday roast is a favourite with the locals.

Opening Hours: 6:30 AM – 10 AM and 6:00 PM – 9:30 PM (winter) or 10 PM (summer)

Afternoon Tea

Wairakei Resort’s Afternoon Tea marks a decades-old tradition of meeting with friends and loved ones for finger sandwiches, delicate sweet and savoury treats and gourmet fresh teas or espresso coffee. And if you’re feeling up to it, why not upgrade yours to include some bubbles?

Over the winter months Afternoon Tea is served in our warm and cosy Pavilion Restaurant, while over summer you can choose to enjoy this in Fairways Café or outside in the beer garden.
