Restaurants in Taranaki

1st November 2011
As an ardent Auckland restaurant goer, last weekend on a trip with friends to New Plymouth was very pleasantly rewarded with a visit to Table Restaurant at Nice Hotel. I had heard about this place from foodie friends of mine and was not disappointed. The nite we dined, 6 of us, was the launch of their new menu. We shared the hot platter on the deck while the waitress explained the fish of the day, freshly caught Snapper. Unfortunately after the platter I could not manage an entree but chose the grilled lamb, sweet bread and lamb neck jelly. Wasn't sure what I would be getting but great. Two of my friends ordered a fondue which I couldn't help but dip into because it looked so good. I settled for the cheese washed down with a nice sticky wine. I'm one who looks for faults naturally and could only find a mark on the chair. Well done you guys at Table. I'll definitely be back :)

Fine food, fine wines, incredible atmosphere. If you are looking for a really special night out where you get individual & personal service, then Nice Hotel & Bistro is the place to go. Relax, be pampered & enjoy a nice evening of dining.

The decor isn't flash, but the food is beautiful. Great service and price too. Highly recommend it for a casual evening out.

While I was in New Plymouth for the Womad Concert in march I was taken out to Marinovich's for a meal. I believe this was once called the High Fry. .Many years ago. I used to go there as a child with my father for our weekly feed of fish.( In the 1970s) The place may have changed hands. but the fish and service is still one of the best in New Zealand. And I look forward to the next time I am in the north Island so I can return for some true Taranaki cuisine Dinglis Timaru.
