From lake to plate
by ninetyblack
Taupō’s vibrant seasonal produce and unique local ingredients are centrepieces of the innovative fine dining offered by Taupō’s lodges, hotels, and restaurants.
What’s offered by the pristine waters of Lake Taupō, its pure flowing rivers, and its all-year-round trout fishing is a true reflection of the quality of the environment in which it’s grown. And while you can’t buy trout, you can catch it yourself.
The region’s chefs are skilled at preparing your fresh catch to enhance its distinctive flavour – smoked overnight, fresh to savor its pure, clean taste, pan-fried with simple ingredients to enhance its sweet notes. Or in this case, baked whole, the richness balanced by tangy black olives, sharp sundried tomatoes, and fresh herbs, served with the optimum side of a full-bodied, rich chardonnay.
For the full listings of restaurants, lodges, and hotels to cook your decadent catch, visit the lovetaupo.com/trout. Our local restaurants and lodges will be happy to prepare your catch for you – just call and book in advance to savour your ‘lake to plate’ experience – the ultimate taste of the region.
