s

Lying in the heart of the North Island, Taupō is the “land of milk and honey.” Rich volcanic soils create fertile pastureland for grazing sheep and cattle, while the forests and crystalclear rivers call game hunters and anglers from around the world. The region is home to specialist growers and artisan producers, as well as guides who lead bush foraging tours to collect New Zealand’s native herbs, plants and berries.

There’s world-class dining at luxurious lodges, and the main towns boast excellent bistros, bakeries, cafés,

boutique food and wine merchants, award-winning takeouts and locally brewed craft beer and mead. Great street food, sweet treats and coffee can be found at the relaxed weekend markets.

And of course, there’s the trout, which isn’t sold in shops, so the only way to enjoy its unique flavour is to catch it yourself. The chefs at many local restaurants will happily prepare your catch for you — just book in advance, or pop into one of the local butchers who are skilled at smoking trout.

Edgewater Restaurant, Millenium Hotel, Taupō town

Taupō’s vibrant seasonal produce and unique local ingredients are centrepieces of the innovative and distinctive fine dining offered

by Taupō’s lodges, hotels and restaurants. Working with an ‘estate to plate’ philosophy, the region’s top chefs often use ingredients produced on their own extensive grounds or sourced from the wild to create dishes that compete with the restaurants’ breathtaking views for their guests’ attention.

The region’s award-winning beef and lamb, fresh-caught game, native herbs, foraged

berries and flowers, locallygrown saffron, mānuka honey and luxurious artisan ingredients, from fresh truffles to specialty fruit and vegetables, all come together alongside New Zealand’s world-renowned wines, spirits, mead and craft beers, in a dining experience that will stay with you.

For anglers, wild rainbow trout caught in the pure waters of the lake or the rivers gives the ultimate taste of the region.

Lodge and restaurant chefs are skilled at preparing the fish to its best advantage, to serve alongside their daily menu.
