Where to eat New Zealand food in Papamoa: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Reviews on New Zealand food in Papamoa, North Island, New Zealand. Papamoa Beach is a suburb of Tauranga, located about 11 kilometres from the city centre. It is the largest residential suburb in Tauranga, having a population of 20,091 at the 2013 census. It is bordered to the west by Mount Maunganui (east of Sunrise Avenue and Hibiscus Avenue), the east by the Kaituna River (separating it from the Western Bay of Plenty District) and to the south by State Highway 2. Papamoa Beach has 16km of white sandy beach stretching from the boundary with Mount Maunganui in the west to the Kaituna River in the east. Widespread settlement of the area did not start until the early 1980s and prior to this Papamoa Beach had been largely a rural area. Once a small and tight knit community, many of Papamoa Beach's sweeping paddocks have been swallowed up by urban development. Papamoa Beach is currently one of the fastest growing suburbs of Tauranga, with many different subdivisions developing concurrently on different blocks of land on the fringes of the suburb.

Delightful fresh snapper, well cooked and served with lemon slices and tomato sauce when we dined in. The spring roll was ok, should have ordered another piece of fish instead! There is a reasonable amount of seating inside. The service was good. We will be back when we are next in town.

Really pleased to see Pearl open up in our neighbourhood. We've been there for coffee and food numerous times and are never disappointed. The coffee and pizza are great, and so are the staff. Very professional and friendly. We've been there at busy times and the service has always been quick and cheerful.

I have never experienced such misrepresentation of so-called cooked food as by this cafe (sic). My daughter was looking forward to pancakes with a caramel sauce and cream, as promised by the menu. What arrived left us speechless and dumbfounded: three tiny, tiny, tiny pancakes, even smaller than pikelets (the size of an old fifty cent coin), with something that could have been caramel sauce and to top if off, watery whipped cream out of a can. $10: a ripoff. What an affront, insult to what this dish universally looks like. The salmon bagel again left us flabbergasted. An old bagel with a token, lonely bit of salmon spread between it, some lettuce on the plate with a bit of cream-cheese in a container. The customer had to create this boring, unimaginative bagel: the chef didn't even have the professionalism, nor experience to design a flavorsome, exciting multi-layered salmon bagel that slightly stood-out from this kindergarten creation. This place lacks any pride in the food they make, rather what we got was a deceleration of disdain in their costumers (also seen by not labeling their cabinet food with prices). Never again.

Nice sunny morning, sitting outside at Henry & Ted's for brunch on Father's day with nan & grandies . Great spot for brekkie, place buzzing as usual. Had takeaway coffee from here before thus first time eating here. Great cabinet food selection, typical modern day cafe , plenty of healthy options from either cabinet or from the menu. Had the big brekkie of course, bit of wait ,being fathers day. Food was good ,will return for lunch sometime, the scones here are legendary, they looked good. Recommend for brekkie- brunch.

A special celebratory lunchtime treat turned into utter disappointment sadly. We all ordered Market Fish @ $36 which was supposed to be pan fried with a creamy sauce. What we received was wet fish in a spicy broth, with gnocchi and a few scallops. Definitely not up to the standard expected or previously enjoyed at this restaurant/bar.Change of chef perhaps, but we all agreed that our meals were below par and certainly not as the menu suggested.
