Kai & Co
Restaurant
👍👍 One of my favorite places I ate at in Raro, so much that I ended up here twice! The burger was delicious, and the portion was huge accompanied with fries. I also really enjoyed the breakfast bagel I had, although I maybe would have swapped a few of the ingredients.
The iced biscoff latte was perfec...

Bite Time Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 We had the fish curry and the fisherman's plate, which had ika mata, grilled fish, sashimi, carpaccio, salad and rice. The fish was incredibly fresh and the sauces were delicious. The carpaccio was heavy with raw garlic, which I liked but may not be for everyone. This is exactly what I'm looking for...

Love Café
Cafe
👍👍 I last visited 4 years ago and the love cafe has grown. Now has a closed in deck with great seating and a lovely atmosphere.
The guy who took my order was a little off and grumpy but the one who brought the coffees to us was friendly, even though he knocked my cup and split my coffee.

The Lazy Trout Cafe
Cafe
👍👍 Brilliant example of having a small menu and doing everything well. Nicely balanced sandwiches (was a bit pessimistic after having dry fish elsewhere on the island, but this was fab) Nice relaxing environment and lovely staff

Tuakata Cafe
Cafe
👍 We have been here for the third time this visit, their food and especially their ika mata is exceptional, magnificent.
I tried another outlet, and it just didnt match up, as I have stated earlier, if you like raw fish, you just can't go past Tuakata Cafe.
The coffee here is too large a quantity, e...

Palace Takeaways

👍👍 Just got off the plane, the first stop was this place. Happy Hour $3.50 a burger. What a treat. Absolutely a winner for our boys who loved having burgers all week. Such a connecting place with food. You can see why it's a popular place to dined here anytime during the day

Kai Pizza
Restaurant
👍👍 Great pizza - thin crust and wood fired!
The prices are reasonable, but don’t expect to have leftovers.
Tuesday’s you can get their most expensive pizzas for only $15NZD each.
Also remember that there is a “sugary drink tax” on the island, so think twice before buying a soft drink with your meal.

Cafe Jireh
Cafe
😐 I had a all day breakfast, and it tasted good and was cooked well. Coffee was a bit weak even, tho i asked for a triple shot. My partner had a ham and cheese toasted sandwich and a custard square. Unfortunately, most of the cheese must have run out because there was very little in it. The custard...

Sea Salt Takeaway
Restaurant
😠 I love my fish and chips being from NZ. And if you want quality and at a reasonable price I suggest NOT going here. First of all the service wasn't the greatest and the language barrier wasn't also as they were from the Philippines. Secondly, I saw the menu and prices and sizes of the meals they wer...
