Slowfish Cafe

There’s not much along the Mount Main Beach restaurant strip for people who need a special diet. Thankfully Slowfish cater to gluten-free, dairy-free, arw and organic tastes. The cornfritters are very very yummy served with a avocado salsa and slow roasted tomatoes.

Right across from Mount Maunganui’s famous surf beach Slowfish sing the slow food and clean food mantra, promoting quality organic and raw ingredients. It’s a great place to eat, to sup coffee and one of my favourite haunts, especially after building up a well-earned appetite after a Mount climb.

Something for the more health conscious… The Slowfish menu is packed with fresh, tasty whole foods and the focus is on high quality, locally produced ingredients. You can’t really beat the location of this cafe - directly across the road from the Main Mount Beach. PS. They also offer a tasty range of yummy cakes and pastries.

Oh man killer coffee and a great cozy atmosphere make this place one of my favourite spots when I pop over to The Mount. Grab some brunch and then stroll along the beach... a perfect Sunday.

Amazing food!

This is the place I gravitate to when visiting The Mount. Situated right on the main tourist drag it’s a pumping place to people-watch, read the paper, enjoy a good coffee or view the surfing action across the road.

Wake up, check the surf conditions. If it's good, go out, if not then head to the main beach and pick a cafe. Either way, for 2 years my Sundays always consisted of me sitting in the sunshine at one of two cafes under the Twin Towers. Slowfish is one of those cafes. Breakfast eggs benny with a berry smoothie before relaxing with a coffee and splitting one of their freshly baked cakes. Heaven.

Great portion size, if its a nice day you can enjoy the sun outside whilst you eat a recovery breakfast!
