    Siam Kitchen
    Martinborough
    The most delicious Thai green curry I have ever had, not too hot and the perfect combination of flavours! The restaurant not only has a lovely dining room with a BYO licence they also do takeaway if you would rather eat at home. This is by far the best BYO restaurant with a very low corkage makes it easier on your wallet to eat out and have a great night!

    Cafe Trocadero

    Black Stump Cafe & Bar
    Dannevirke
    We have visited the Black Stump many times while passing through Pahiatua, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are friendly. The prices are very good for the quality of food you receive! My favorite dish is the Israeli couscous salad which is packed with fresh vegetables with a yummy balsamic vinaigrette and topped with parmesan!
