THE BISTRO

This gem of a restaurant in the heart of Taupō is understandably much loved by locals and tourists, too. Owners and operators Jude and Tiffany Messenger have six children and the offspring will often pitch in with the parents. Chef Jude (exhuka Lodge) has a wadge of international experience and his love of cooking simple food is enhanced with prodigious use of locally sourced seasonal ingredients treated with care. 17 Tamamutu St, Taupō / thebistro.nz
