Solera
Cuisine Good Food Guide 2 Hat
Our verdict
Set within a long, narrow space in the heart of Mount Maunganui, this cosy wine bar strikes the well-suited balance between polished dining and laid-back hospitality. Bar seating lines the front windows, with the potential for sunny sidewalk dining in summer. Despite seating close to 50 guests, the space feels intimate rather than crowded. Co-owner Nick Potts is often on the floor ensuring a warm welcome, while head chef David Bryson’s Michelin-trained background is evident in the precision and care
