N.

Couldn't get pizza today but everything else we wanted was avaliable. Super yummy food, small wait as we came during a busy time but otherwise a 10/10 experience! Highly reccomend as a place to stop while in Coromandel! Would 100% come back again! We had the garlic/white wine mussel pot, seafood tomato chilli pasta, seafood basil pesto pasta and kids chicken tenders. Yum!

R.

Absolutely amazing food. Took my wife here for lunch and was absolutely amazed with the food, service and atmosphere. Dozen battered oysters and seafood platter for two and even though we as farmers are big eaters this was enough to fill is up

T.

My husband and I got the seafood platter for two. It was great value for money and very delicious.

S.

highly recommend, definitely book a table as they are very busy but worth the wait.

M.

OMG 😲 The meat lovers pizza wow so tasty, so hot, so ate it all. Do not go past this place.

S.

Returning here after a great experience 5 years ago, this was again everything we hoped it would be. A perfect day to sit out under a tree, with absolutely delicious food (recommend the hot mussel half shells) and really good service.

E.

Canteen food at restaurant prices. The food is all pre-prepared and warmed up. I had the seafood fettuccine, this had a generous helping of seafood, but the pasta was very overcooked and the sauce overwhelmed the taste of the other ingredients. The souvlaki was greasy, and seemed to have been fried. Fish and chips were ok but very ordinary for $28

C.

Very juicy fat fresh big mussels!!!wonderful!!!and nice environment. So relaxing to eat outdoor and enjoy the view and air. Also they have other meat choices except for mussels. Deserve coming!

C.

4 for lunch 2 meals ok. 2 not happy. Mussel pot garlic and cream over cooked sauce watery. Other chicken breast $30 should of had cooked veges not salad and chips expensive dish. Serving tables not a job for the owner. Poor service . They need to up there game.

J.

I had the spaghetti marinara, which had a generous serving of Mussels, but the flavour was lacking in the sauce. I also ordered a gun smoke beer from the tap, which came flat (no carbonation in the beer). I asked if that was usual for the beer and they said no, so they gave me another from the bottle, which I thought was nice as it was a larger, however they just got it from the shelf, so it was not cold. Disappointing as the beer had a good flavour. Pro: the location is pretty good, with nice scenery

M.

Very friendly service, local beer brewed on-site, and incredible food. This place ruined me for mussel chowder; I can never have it again as it will never be as good! Partner had the mussel pot with bacon and white wine sauce, which was also delicious. We turned up for an early lunch just before 12pm and the place was still full with the breakfast crowd (breakfast menu finishes at 11am). There were no tables so the staff split some others off to make a new one for us. Very friendly and attentative wait staff. Usually there would be heaps more seating when including the outdoor area, which also had an outdoor bar, but the rain meant everyone was siting inside. They have a box of toys for kids and a high chair (albeit just one as far as I could see). Bathroom facilities were smart. Heaps of parking. Nice outdoor area. Beer brewed on-site.

S.

The mussels and fish and chips we're tasty. The staff very friendly but service sadly not up to scratch. Maybe it was the holiday rush. Unfortunately we were not the only ones. Service was slow. Orders such as the fish and chips got served to customers who came later. Waiters seem not to know where people were sitting and orders were also lost. Asking a few times it seems we had to stand over the kitchen to receive our missing dish. One the should invest in wireless system so customers can collect their own food or waiters should be familiar with all locations. Two the kitchen needs to cook in strict sequence or not stray too far from arrival times. Three some staff training would not go amiss before a busy holiday.

K.

Amazing dining experience. Everything was so tasty and well presented and the seafood was so fresh. Service was great also. Thanks so much Mussel kitchen!

N.

We all really enjoyed our lunch here. Service was friendly and helpful. Had the white wine and cream mussels, very tasty. Drinks were good especially the Gun Smoke tap beer. Overall a great experience. We will be back.

M.

Amazing food ,great service, pays to book if ya have a big group, also pay as you order, no way of splitting bill up after. Really nice pizza ,the mussels were the bomb, and the seafood cowder, very yum . Also the table had the smoked mussel spread A1 taste rite there.

C.

Absolutely fabulous. If you are into seafood this is a great place to go for a platter and great service

I.

I'm truly not a big fan of mussels and seafood. But mussels here are very juicy and not smelly, and well treated and I loved it so much. Great food going with amazing view and I'll recommend it to friends.

r.

Great food. And friendly staff Also loved to be able to take our dogs with us. Great all round experience.

M.

Yummy food. Takes a bit of time to get it, but it's worth waiting for. Personal a pleasant.

W.

Great food hosts a little forgetful large portions so do not order to much! Went twice as food is good!

b.

Food was delicious. Seafood chowder was out of this world 🛸👽👾🌎

T.

Delightful Sunday lunch today, with great hospitality from all the team. Thanks! Loved the seafood platter and fish n chips. The kids thought the thickshakes were delicious!

C.

Fantastic!!! Do not drive past this place it was amazing. Great menu, great food and lovely staff.

q.

We had a lunch here before heading to Whitianga. The food is great as well as the place. However, I didn't had a chance to taste their beer. Hopefully I can go back next time. The staff are very kind and accommodating. Keep up the good work!!

R.

Nice and fresh mussels and local beer. A must stop for all tourists!

M.

Great food, the best mussel's I've ever had

I.

Excellent food and service. Beautiful setting.

E.

Delicious food and great outdoor seating. We had the mussel pot with Thai green curry sauce - amazing, with the salmon citrus salad and fries on the side and a couple of the MK brewing co beers. And to top it off, there was live music which made for the perfect late lunch! We’ll be back!

j.

Nice food & good service!

p.

Lovely place, 8x adults ate and drank, great staff, service and food. Mussle pots cooked beautifully, not rubbery and still juicey . Raw oysters delicious! Seafood chowder to die for. Next time I'll try a pizza.

P.

Fantastic food and service, the owner and his family were very friendly and helpful.

F.

Great spot, nice staff, nice food. However, 42mins wait for 1 x chowder and 1 x bowl of fries and 1 x plate of mussels is unacceptable. None of these items take very long to prepare. A shame, as this place could be really amazing if the kitchen was more organized.

T.

Yum yum yum food was fresh an amazing the young guy that works at the front house serving us was so welcoming an friendly this place is a must stop if your in Coromandel

S.

Best Mussel, best beer. Good service. Thanks Giovanni

D.

The SAGANAKI Prawns were beautiful as were the MusselPotz 10out of 10 BUT…… 75 minutes to get the meals is ridiculous and looks like this is a common theme. Will be back again as the food is so good but will make sure we aren't starving hungry next time.

r.

We arrived and were met by wonderful staff who couldn't do enough for us. The food was A1 I had a pot of Thai green curry mussels which were very tasty hubby had chicken ?? On skewers which came with chips salad and veges. Well done. Yes we will be back

G.

Some of the best mussels I've tasted. The Thai mussel pot is superb as are the beer battered. Very reasonably priced. A must try.

B.

Very pleasant experience. Have been their previously, some 3 years ago. Has changed hands since then. The meal was very nice, & the service was very good. Will definitely return.

L.

Very good service, owners very friendly. Strongly recommend the chowder.

G.

Best mussels I've ever had. The beer's not bad either.

R.

Yum yum yum great people working there and good food

C.

A fabulous place to stop by and enjoy some of the finest local food.

K.

I always enjoy stopping here for some fresh mussels

G.

I had a mussel burger with chips. A huge lot of chips. It was a lovely lunch meal.

M.

Mussel fritters wow just awesome. The man walking the floor was amazing, making sure everyone seated etc. Would highly recommend this beautiful place

N.

Tasty food with great service, definately worth the stop. Would recoomend the mussel pot in the flavours Thai curry and Sav cream/garlic. Oysters and pizza is also on point

R.

Absolutely delicious food served at a very reasonable price. The restaurant feels trendy yet familiar. Delicious home brewed beers as well. The coconut curry mussel pot sounded a bit unusual but was some of the best seafood I've ever had! Cannot recommend this place enough!

B.

Absolutely fantastic food !!! Great vibe about the place !!!

s.

HEAVEN 🥰🥰🥰 So simply put together in an amazing part of the world. The staff are gorgeous and if you like mussels I believe you won't find any better any where else. Very well priced. Such a magnificent place. DO IT YOY WONT BE DISAPPOINTED

O.

Beautiful food and great service. Mussels were delicious and very fresh. The location is nice, with great view.

M.

Extremely good mussels at a reasonable price. Nice location to sit outside in their garden. Also, they offer other stuff to eat for kids and alternatives to mussels. The coffee is very good and also, their hombrewed beer is worth trying although it's a bit expensive. Overall: Great place and if you are not too far away, this is for sure a must to visit and have lunch.

J.

Great stop. Fresh produce and awesome view

G.

Mussel pot with white wine was very great! The place is nice as well

C.

Lovely food, lovely setting, dog friendly, great staff. Went just before opening day so small number of diners but seems like it would be just as enjoyable on a crowded summers day!! If you like mussels/seafood .... put it on your list!!

B.

Lovely atmosphere. Full car park. A lot of people handled with ease. Food excellent. Great service. Thank you.

A.

Loved the oysters & such a hearty platter + pizza. Service was also very good.

T.

Amazing place was there on Sunday alot of people,staff advised us of a 45 minute wait which we accepted. Meals came within 20min and were delicious very friendly staff. Homegrown ginger beer from Giovani was outstanding. Will definitely be back again. Cheers well done!!!!

E.

Food was delicious however they need more staff as the wait time was huge.

D.

We had delicious Mussel Chowder last week. It was full of flavour and Mussel's. Thanks so much for a memorable lunch, also for the great service.

D.

Really great food. Wife and kids loved the Laksa, not always on the menu though. Steamed mussels are a must do. And they brew their own beer and gingerbeer (which I love). Closed for the winter though :(

S.

My husband & I attended the Mussel festival on Waitangi weekend. It was such a fun day with live music, great ambience & the food was delicious. Very well organised event! If you love mussels you can't go past this place, steamed, grilled, battered, chowder, you name it. Perfectly paired with their own craft beer.

L.

Mussel kitchen in Coromandel is the place to eat meals were great staff were amazing so accommodating highly recommend you stop in and try yourself

R.

Well worth the visit. Meals delicious and loved the mussels and fritters.

G.

To be honest, not as good as what we expected. Checked what did people say and post before we go, meals tasted ok but small. The most expensive fish n chips we have had.

T.

Great meal ,will recommend to anyone wanting a seafood platter mmmmm

S.

I went there with my mum who was visiting from Italy. We are used to good food and we both agreed that the mussels we had here were by far the best ever mussels in New Zealand, so fresh and tender they were melting in our mouths!!!.....we got the mussel pot as well as the different flavored half shells.....Oh my goodness it is deliciousness on a plate!!!

A.

Delicious. Nice homely setting.

F.

For those worries about if this place is closed or not - it’s not closed. They have best pizza and mussel. Deserve the best restaurant in Coromandel.

K.

Great food, just a shame we couldn't get a beer.

P.

The freshest and tastiest mussels. Beautiful location, great MK beers. My partner and I have had a great time over there.

J.

Stumbled upon this fabulous cafe and brewery. Great meal and awesome service, something on the menu for all. Brewery onsite and really enjoyed the ale and pilsner. Recommended 😃

D.

The best mussel dishes I have ever tried in NZ!! We had creamy chowder, mussel pot with thai curry sauce which was awesome, and the mussel plate with 4 different toppings. You must try this place out!!!

A.

This place is unreal. I came over from Scotland and we travelled all around NZ. As big mussel eaters, these were the best we have tried and came back almost every day we were up in coromandel! Could not recommend more!

A.

The best tasting muscles I have ever had. Bit pricy but the food is fresh and done in several tasty recipes. And great craft beer

We were impressed by this restaurant, not only because of its super yummy food, but also the owner/manager’s great altitude about how to push its service to the best. He knows so well about what to do when small imperfection happens. Such a warm-hearted gentleman, will definitely come back.

A.

If you like seafood and smoked fish then a visit to Mussel Kitchen is a must, located just outside Coromandel town on a large property with views to the sea is a delightful place to spend some time. Fabulous food options and great drinks list makes Mussel Kitchen a great placeplace to while away the afternoon and enjoy a great experience, highly recommended.

D.

🤩 WOW 🤩 Amazing place!! A must stop!
