April 16, 2020 Enriqueta Cusson

Discover Restaurants offering the best Seafood 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.

We decided at the last minute to go out for dinner on New Year's Eve whilst on holiday near Tauranga. Lucky enough to find a table at Nomad early in the evening and we had a lovely time listening to the music and enjoying our food. I had the cauliflower risotto which was so delicious! My husband had the lamb rump which he also enjoyed. Both meals were excellent. We opted for a dessert to share - a chocolate fondant. Heavenly! Highly recommend this restaurant.

You'll find us in the heart of downtown Mount Maunganui, unmistakable frontage of schist stone with a gas torches a blaze.Open for dinner or just bar snacks. Relax at one of our street-side tables along Maunganui Road, inside the decor of natural timber,

Latitude is a large bar/restaurant which caters for a variety of age groups. It is warm in the winter with the fires going and on a Sunday there is always live music in the afternoon along with Happy Hour (4-6 usually). The menu provides a nice selection and since I’ve eaten there several times with others I can say that the food hasn’t disappointed. I really enjoy the salmon salad! If you like to watch live sport there are at least 3-4 TV screens for choice.Good ambience and attentive staff.

This used to be one of the top restaurants (IMO) in Tauranga and we recently visited based on past experience. The table service was really poor we wondered if maybe this had become a training ground for graduates to hospitality, as some of the wait staff had absolutely no clues. The food itself was very ordinary and we were really disappointed that Tauranga had lost what was once a special place.

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.
