Waikato, Family Restaurants

This café is located in a rustic red shed which was previously an apple packing operation. The inside is contemporary and seats 50 with a kids’ play area and there is a courtyard outside. Breakfast, lunch and handmade sweets and puddings are available.

The River Kitchen breakfast menu runs daily until 2pm and offers classic combinations as well as a few twists on the usual fare. Lunch is driven by the seasons and represented in the inspired cabinet food which changes daily.  A great place to stop in and relax.

Located on the Main road through the Putaruru township, this café offers casual dining including juices, smoothies and soft drinks.

Situated right on the ocean, you can sit and soak up the stunning view of the inner harbour, and out to the Raglan bar.
We adapt our a la carte menu regularly with a emphasis on enhancing seasonal produce highlighting fresh, complementary flavours.

Open daily, 9am til late.
