Hare & Copper Eatery
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
Chef Andrew Wood is living his dream in this much admired restaurant at the southern end of Lake Taupō. Think Argentinian, Asian and spicy Mexican flavours. Start with bao buns, tempura veggies or grilled beetroot, feta and water cress and then your choice of mains that includes tahr, wallaby and octopus. Fireside dining on wintry nights or outdoors through the summery evenings.
