We were visiting on a Monday so it wasn't too busy. Despite having a booking our table wasn't set up for the 5 of us, none the less the staff were very accommodating. They were a bit over the top if I were honest, trying a bit too much. Food was really good though so would definitely come back

Okurukuru Restaurant - the highlight of coastal hospitality. Honest good food prepared by passionate chefs with stunning surroundings .Clifftop view over the Tasman Sea and Mount Taranaki.

We arrived late afternoon after driving around following other vineyard and brewery signs in the area that all led to closed venues. Okurukuru is the only real vineyard left around New Plymouth. Tastings had already finished by the time we arrived and the winemaker was only still there because her car battery had died. Despite that she did a personal tasting for us at the bar and patiently answered all our questions. It was a lovely experience that turned around what had been looking like a day full of disappointments. Can't thank her enough for a great experience :) Really enjoyed the distinct wines they do in small batches, mostly by hand, with their own varietals and unique soil qualities of the region.

Two words, simply awesome. Federal Store was just down the road from where we were staying, having had breakfast at our accommodation we thought just to call in for a morning coffee before starting our day exploring New Plymouth. Oh boy what a popular cafe this was, it was full of atmosphere on our arrival with few tables spare inside. We ordered our coffees at the counter and resisted being tempted by the many delicious looking treats on offer in the cabinets, it was at this point that we both decided to come back for lunch. Our coffees were spot on, good blend, my double espresso was smooth and the right temperature, I wanted another. Same thing at lunchtime, the cafe was near full, it was buzzing with energy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the chicken and bacon toastie was loaded with meat, very flavoursome and a decent portion size. The pumpkin and feta frittata was moist and delicious, both dishes were served with a side of mixed lettuce mix and a swirl of dressing. To finish we had to have a lemon meringue pie to share, it was adorable, served with cream, the pastry was great, the meringue was devine, soft and flowing into the lemon butter. The decor of Federal Store is retro, refreshing and unique in these times of so many cafes popping up, the uniforms of the staff are also very appealing. Service was prompt and friendly. Street parking is available on Devon Street or surrounding streets. All I can think is how lucky the residents of New Plymouth are to have such a fabulous cafe.

Juliana's never fails to deliver. We have been here several times now over the years and it is always very pleasant. The food is delicious and definitely value for money. Even though it was a busy night the last time we went, there was no loud noise or extra hustle and bustle. It was all very calm, making for a very pleasant evening. We will certainly be back.Thank you for your good comments on Julianas we look forward to seeing you again

If you want the most superb dining experience you can't go past here. Most professional friendly service.. ambience plus... fascinating being able to view kitchen. Great variety of wines by glass and classy ones too... with beautiful glassware (so important). Food to die for... so hard to choose.. very innovative and presentation classy.. sharing idea reflects name..Social kitchen Can't recommend this more.. pity we don't live in New Plymouth!!Our waitress/front of house was another reason why this was such a special night.. even remarked on how good it was to see a couple out actually com)municating instead of immersed in mobile phones. Totally agree.. why dine out.. but sadly the norm.

The food we had that day was excellently presented. Taste was yummy and we barely left some leftovers on the plates!The environment of the place is so comfortable. Well decorated internally with view overlooking the ocean. The prices of the food are not too bad. Worth the money spent on delicious food.
