We went to try their 3 course dinner. For our entree I ordered the prawn gazpacho and the my husband got the free range pork belly. For our mains we got the Taupo beef eye fillet and coastal lamb rump and shared a side of seasonal vegetables with miso butter. And for dessert we both got lemon meringue creme brulee.

L.

Really lovely food, which we all enjoyed, no problem there at all. Also a lovely setting, and attentive staff. We were a group of five, and unfortunately seated close to a loud and large group. Like the other tables in the area, we left early rather than request to shifted - not wanting that drama. Putting large groups in a more private area would have been sensible, and for us would have made an unpleasant dining experience a whole lot better. The fixed price, 3 course arrangement is also not going to suit everyone.

E.

That was a 10/10 3 course dinner, delicious food and I just loved the service and atmosphere. Ginger cake was the highlight of the night, must try.

T. T.

Awesome , went out of their way to make sure our dietry needs were met. Food was glorious, staff exceptional. Fantastic all round. Highly reccomended. Keep up the exceptional service. 10 out of 10

L. H.

Always a great place to dine. Staff are fabulous, food is great. Lovely atmosphere. Our go to dinning place when in Taupo.

What an amazing place! One of the best restaurants in Taupo and North Island. Set up in a house, this restaurant has plenty of space to suit any party from 2 to 20. Wine list is pretty good, there is a fireplace by the bar where you can enjoy a glass or two. And the food - the food is just divine! There were 4 of us, and each plate, from starters to mains and desert - everything was unbelievable. I definitely recommend this place for a visit.

Entering the restaurant was welcome by the waitress with a warm greeting and allowed to choose where to seat which was nice. Interior that leads to the garden is nice too. Upon ordering food, I was promise there be bread serve but that never came and I had to ask for it when they serve the starter. Food was not great, the pork belly starter was warm at the top, cold at the bottom. The purée sauce that came with it was cold. The small salad below the pork belly is serve cold but maybe it’s too cold that’s why the pork belly got too cold at its bottom side? I don’t know. But not a great start by getting the basics wrong, serving warm food mostly cold. The lamb main was quite nice but I’m not sure about the peas. It’s a humble green and they are not doing any special spin on it, if so, might as well get some cool looking veg like Romanesco. Lamb was cook well. Desert was the best, I wish there was more lychee but the combo of ginger brûlée and lychee was great. There was something else on it I couldn’t quite make out but it tasted great nonetheless. Was suppose be a 3 star but I gave 4 star because it was mostly saved by the desert, alittle bit by the lamb.

Restaurant serving NZ cuisine with local produce. Service was friendly and attentive Cosy and warm setting. Food was well presented and innovative, some of the flavours didn’t work together as a dish for me. I would suspect it’s one of the nicer restaurants in this area. Make sure you ring to book. Around NZ$75pp for 3 course.

T. W.

Loved it. One of the best meals I have had in awhile! The food was lovely!!! The staff were great and friendly and helpful and the venue it’s self sitting in all the art - an interesting idea that works well! Very happy!!

M. P.

Beautiful food,I was so worried,that my friends wouldn't like it,but I made the right choice we all loved it Food Wine was impressed by everything, keep it up,we will be back..

J. H.

We had such a lovely evening last night. Every guest was treated to the personal touch and the food was absolutely sensational. Can't wait to go back

C. R.

A wonderful meal and atmosphere even with Covid restrictions Entire restaurant sang happy birthday unprompted after cake was cut. Delicious choices for the 3 courses artistically presented by helpful attentive staff. Well done to the entire Bantry team. Thank you for also happily accommodating the 2 young grandchildren. We will be back and sure to recommend your restaurant to everyone.

S. G.

Incredible meal! Absolutely recommend coming here. Every course was exquisite. Have to say one of the best meals I've had and bonus was at a really good price. Would pay more!

G. B.

What a hidden gem this place is! Beautiful food, fantastic atmosphere, and wonderful staff made this a truly amazing dining experience. Our 3 course meal was without fault and absolutely delicious! We will definitely be back!

M. P.

We booked in to the Brantry for our 10 year anniversary and our engagement celebration. We were greeted with the warmest of welcomes. Service was 11/10 and the food was 12/10. Well worth the money. Thank you very much.

s. m.

Nz dining at its best. Good food. Good service. Good wine list that compliments the menu very well. It's one the best kept secrets of Taupo I feel. That Rosé is one of the finest I have had in a while. A great little fireplace at the front to enjoy the wine after dinner as well.

N. G.

Set menu for 50 for two course. Food is ok but lacks finesse given pricing. Salt and pepper squid still had skin on and was under seasoned.

B. V.

Service was 5 stars for sure! Dessert was pretty good and the food was aesthetically pleasing. Mains and entrees just not bad.

n. y.

Fabulous honey glazed baby carrot salad & date, juicy eye fillet steak with truffle cream and pea purée and the most decadent chocolate salted caramel tart! The staff were very helpful and courteous.

H. R.

The best Restaurant in Taupo and for me amongst the best in New Zealand. You get a warme welcome from a nice young lady originating from south Germany but speaking perfectly Kiwi. You can take a three course menu or order a la carte. I had the prawns, the fish of the day and a lemon yoghurt as desert. All was fantastic quality and taste. A clear recommendation if you are here.

R.

Great service, amazing food. Do yourself a favour and have the steak!

e. M.

Would give a 10 if we could. Services was great, atmosphere was amazing and the food was on point. Loved it. Will be back

D. S.

Simply excellent. Very unassuming place but well worth the visit. Great food, decent but measured portions, beautifully presented. Full of flavour. Pork belly, prawn starters were excellent. Lamb, duck and special fish likewise very tasty. No pressure to buy expensive bottled water, local " Pure council juice" was perfect. Good choice is wine. Friendly staff. The menu is priced as a set combination with 3 courses bring best value, but all options are available

V. E.

Beautiful food, excellent service and a the atmosphere was outstanding ! Thank you for having us on Saturday night

M. W.

Just tops! We loved our meal. It was such a treat to our tastebuds. Thank you

G. D.

Very attentive wait staff. Our fish was beautifully pan fried with a slight crust. Delicious. Lemon tart was actually tangy, as lemon should be. And don't miss the gallery upstairs, a real hidden treat. So many talented local artists.

T. W.

The salmon and Eye fillet were good, but the pork belly was overcooked and the duck was meh. Not a bad place, but a little overrated.

R. B.

Awesome meal, lovely atmosphere and great service. Nothing was too much trouble and even our 3 year old grandson had a great time. Well worth the visit and will definitely be going back.

f.

Incredible food, wonderful service, beautiful atmosphere! Staff had extremely good product knowledge and were very helpful with recommendations. Strongly recommend.

K. R.

Fine Dining - Art Gallery. Yes, it’s on the upmarket scale but absolutely worth it. Most delicious meals, comfortable ambience, open fire, cocktail bar. A very special place and memory. Friendly staff.

J. A.

I feel remiss for not reviewing this sooner. Went for dinner during a weekend getaway to taupo for my birthday in June and it was the highlight. Amazing experience from start to finish. Pleasantly surprised when we found it looked like someone’s house from the outside (a very nice house). Met at the front door by staff and walked straight into the coolest and cosiest bar ever. Fireplace going, epic art on the wall. We were offered a drink and also the opportunity to go upstairs to their art gallery! That was a lovely surprise. Fantastic to be able to peruse some lovely art with a wine in hand Dinner was exceptional. We tried a number of things and don’t think you could go wrong with any of it. The cocktails were to die for too. It was the service that stood out to me also with lovely Georgia and Kyra (all the staff in fact). These too were attentive and also great sense of humour. Kyra could see us trying to check out other peoples dishes as she want past, so started lowering them down as she did so and gave us a smile and wink. This might be one of my be one of my vert dinning experiences anywhere in NZ. Cannot rate or rave about highly enough.

T. H.

What can I say, the food, atmosphere and staff are all just tops. We had a lovely meal for 4 of and everyone just couldn't give enough praise to the food and service. Our waiter was professional, attentive and knew everything without having to go and ask. One of our group was veterinarian and found plenty of options. Deserts were made to perfection with the chocolate displaying a sheen that you very rarely see. Front of house were excellent, and again like the waiting staff showed true professionalism. The Brantry is reasonably priced and well worth the visit. Advice is check out the google street view first, as its not an easy address to find. Driving past you may think its a normal residential house.

J. P.

Amazing luncheon for a family function. Staff were fantastic even with restrictions. Food was perfect. Couldn't fault a thing. Thanks guys.

T. B.

Haven't been to the eatery but love going to the arts shop.!! I take everyone there ..its amazing 👏

B. H.

Some excellent food, however their steak was very sinewy. Some of their flavour combinations were a bit of a stretch.

C. O.

Two nights in a row for dinner Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend

E. G.

Absolutely amazing food and service! Can’t recommend highly enough!

C. L.

Consistently great food over the years, great ambience & lovely staff. In my opinion, for food of this quality it's exceptional value. Their set courses options are a brilliant idea. We went as a large group but I've also been there as a couple and with friends and all have been absolutely perfect nights out.

D. R.

Probably the best food in Taupo. Superb service too. Definitely worth a visit if you want to try the best of NZ lamb or beef.

S. C.

Thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience!! 👌 The food and service was superb and the upstairs art gallery was an added surprise 😲 filled with excellent art work and contemporary jewellery from NZ artists. A great mix of fine dining and art! A must see for NZ art lover's and foodies!! 👍

J. L.

Absolutely excellent experience here. The staff were so friendly and the food and wine were delicious. Intimate dining, great value Loved everything about our time here. Will definitely be back and will be recommending it to everyone

P. G.

Outstanding meal, superb service. Would recommend to anyone worldwide.

K. J.

Firstly.. the service was impeccable. Seated and served with ease by friendly staff. Now.. the food. I've tasted some amazing food in my time but this restaurant takes cuisine to a new level. The salmon was to die for... the lamb soft and melted in the mouth. The desert was sweet and amazing. If you havent been here.. do it. You and your loved one will not regret this. Definitely will be back. 🙌

R.

Great venue - only open wed- Sunday. Great food.

M.

Wow had a awesome experience. The staff were so polite and friendly.

T. E.

Amazing food...great wine selection...warm and cozy atmosphere.

K. J.

After searching for a restaurant for my birthday we came across the Brantry with raving reviews. We got there and was welcomed with great and friendly service. After ordering our meals we were presented with a surprise entree on the house. The meals were beautifully presented and tasted even better. I took the fellow reviews advice and got the pork belly and words cannot describe how amazing this was. The dessert was beautiful. The staff even surprised me with a candle in my dessert after casually mentioning it was my birthday. All in all it was a fantastic night and we wish there was one closer to home in Australia as this place is one of a kind. Thank you for the amazing night.

F. M.

We celebrated my girlfriend’s birthday and had an amazing time. We were seated right away, the pacing was great and the food was excellent! We had the 3 course meal for $60 each. The serving sizes were just right, and honestly our first good meal since arriving to NZ! Make sure you book an appointment. We booked an appointment several hours prior to coming.

C. O.

Service was great, right from the moment they opened the door for us on arrival. Food was cooked to perfection - the beef carpaccio and duck rillette sandwich is the best we've had.

T. A.

Awesome hospitality, great food, beautiful place to be .

S. B.

The food was delicious but we felt very ignored by the waitstaff. I’m not sure what we did to offend the waiter but after he took our appetizer orders he literally did not come back again. We kept having to awkwardly flag other waitresses down because everyone kept actively ignoring our table. We were sitting there with empty plates, empty water glasses and empty drink glasses for 20-30 minutes at a time and no one would come over despite us making eye contact with them and trying to wave them down. It was one of the strangest dining experiences of my life. The food was very good though but it’s unfortunate such a delicious meal was negatively affected by such terrible service.

5.

Great place. Very nice food 👌 friendly staff

B.

Excellent restaurant, great service and fantastic food. Arrive early and have a drink by the fire before enjoying a great meal. Very good menu with a fine selection. Compliments to the Chef on a fine meal. In my view a must do on a trip to Taupo if you like good food and ambience.

R. K.

Stunning. Beautiful setting, perfect service and delicious food. If we were locals this would be our go-to. Pop upstairs to enjoy the art too!

K. J.

Travelling through Taupo for 2 nights as part if our NZ travels and made a last minute booking for the Christmas buffet lunch. We loved every part of our day here. Service was wonderful, with cheery staff and prompt attention. The food was plentiful and delicious - my bar was low given it was buffet style but there was not a Bain Marie in sight, only beautifully prepared platters of food that were replenished frequently and so good! Though not cheap, we left feeling complete satisfied (ok, stuffed!) and were even treated to a take home box of Xmas treats such as gingerbread, xmas cake and rumballs. A lovely atmosphere and great food - a really happy surprise on our Christmas out of town!

L. M.

Superb food, stylish surroundings, wonderful friendly kiwi service. Can’t recommend this highly enough!

J. S.

OMG. Dont leave Taupo without having lunch or dinner here. Restaurant and gallery combined make this not only an eatery but a destination. Contemporary NZ jewellery, art, sculpture, pottery upstairs with dining in a collection of rooms - indoor and outdoor - downstairs. Food divine. Service impeccable. Value for money.

M. R.

My wife and I had an amazing time here. The three course menu is 60 nzd each so eminently affordable. That includes an appetizer, entree and a dessert. She had the duck and I had the salmon. Both were cooked to perfection. They have a good selection of wines and beer, highly recommend the wheat beer.

J. V.

We had dinner there last night before the long drive home and immediately wished we had decided to stay the night and really enjoy this wonderful venue. The food was a 10, the beverages were a great choice across the board and the staff were all exemplary. If I could I would score it an 18 out of 10 and can't wait to get back and will recommend it to all our friends and guests.

J. V.

Staff were very professional and were attentive when needed. Food was excellent, some of the best food I've enjoyed. I ordered the fish croquette, lamb, and brulee and they were all amazing. Presentation was on point. Without being very nit picky its hard to fault any of their food/service. The roast potatoes were about a 3/5 as they were slightly hard for my liking and under seasoned. and lemonade 2.5/5 as It was slightly watery/budget (I'd suggest the use franks lemonade or similar ;)). But that's being VERY nit picky. Highly recommend this place if you're ever around the Taupo region.

T.

Large group of 8. Exceptional service exceptional food exceptional atmosphere great value. Quick service. 10/10.

M. H.

The restaurant is like the Tardis -bigger inside than it looks on the outside - a lovely ambiance with art on the walls and the food was Delicious. Service was excellent. M&L

s. l.

Amazing service and food we were celebrating a birthday and hey made us feel extra special thank you Bantry a fantastic experience

T.

The food is great, very reasonably priced, is plated beautifully and the service there is head and shoulders above any where I've been in a very long time. From when we stepped in to when we left I enjoyed the whole thing. I plan on raving to my friends and returning whenever I'm in Taupo.

B. B.

Absolutely amazing service! ( especially from Kyra!) Food was devine! Totally recommend for fine dining experience.

E.

Amazing dinner.... Always great service and such beautiful food.. thank you

R. H.

Staff and service excellent. Food was delicious and cooked perfectly. I just felt there was a lot going on taste wise too much pea mash overpowered other elements. Similar comments from other diners who generally felt some review and simplifying of the menu was required. Hard because it was all done very well..

D. O.

Everytime we are planning on going out to dinner in Taupo, we always come here. They never disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere, great service, simply fabulous food. I realise we should really try other restaurants, but why take the risk. We love the Brantry

P. M.

Service was very warm and friendly, loved the vibe of the restaurant. But the food was next level!! We cleaned every plate as it was so yummy. We had the lamb and pork for mains, sides were amazing, squid entree also so much flavour!! Then the salted caramel dessert was to die for. Misha's Pinot noir just topped off the entire meal. Can't fault any of it!!! Highly recommend and will be back for sure. We booked in advance

J. W.

Good food and good service, friendly staff. I have a gluten sensitivity and avoid gluten foods - staff either recommended foods to avoid or offered to substitute gluten-containing components with gluten-free food so that I could enjoy a quality meal. Would definitely go again!

b.

Amazing food!! I have eaten at so many restaurants around NZ and the Brantry has by far taken the lead. The food is absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is pleasent. The staff are friendly and prompt with service. The only negitive is that now when ever I eat anywhere else besides the Brantry I am very dissatisfied with the food. The Brantry has set the bar and the price is utterly cheap.

S. 3.

I highly recommend this place! I am a chef myself and worked in several michelin star restaurants and I can say without a doubt that this place serves absolutely delicious food, accompanied by extraordinary good service. Best wishes from Chef Lukas ;)

K.

Fine dining at its best, the food is world class, with great service. Always book in advance, to make sure you get a table.

D. T.

Wow. One of the best restaurant so far after 1 week in New Zealand. We trust trip advisor for top 3 restaurants and unfortunately it has been disappointing until we came to Brantry. The squid was amazing and the lamb was amazing. Our server Baxter was great and his recommendation for the Misha Pinot noir was great for the price. Strongly recommended.

G. P.

Our last meal here was amazing. Top quality food. We really enjoyed it. Service was good, nice atmosphere, really great.

D. M.

Really enjoyed my meal here. Came with 3 friends and we were all very happy with our meals. Great service, food and ambiance.

R. K.

Not our first time. This time though, some of the dishes were delicious but others didn't quite meet our admittedly lofty expectations based on our last visit. The service was as always attentive and friendly.

S. C.

Absolutely delicious food. The ambience makes this a good place to take your date, or to take your spouse for a special night out. We ate at The Brantry (again) recently for a family birthday dinner.

B. C.

Visited while traveling through Taupo. Food was on the whole good but not amazing. We unfortunately got sat just after a very large table and it felt like our food was a little more rushed by the kitchen. Our server was polite but we felt largely ignored with very large waits between courses. But that was probably due to the unfortunate timing.

E.

Wow our dinner at the Brantry was just fantastic. I love the new 3 course set menu, it makes it much easier to choose, plus the price is excellent too. The pork belly was delicious, melt in the mouth and the boned neck fillets my partner had were stunning as well. You can tell these guys cook with passion and they source fresh local ingredients which is just fantastic.

K.

The unassuming appearance from the outside may give you the reminder of another one of those "bad food choices" however, once you open the doors to this place you are transported to another world. Not only with the ambience and great service, but the food... oh the food... local produce cooked really well and presented on the plate with perfection. The Bantry ticks all the boxes and if the Lake wasnt excuse enough to revisit, then the dinning experience is a reason we will be returning to Lake Taupo in the very near future. The Bantry.. thank you for the memories!

D. D.

Delicious food and excellent service we also loved the intimate cubby we were seated in

D. C.

Amazing cuisine and attentive service. Highly recommended. A little hidden gem 👏❤️

C. M.

Food was amazing, but it's the service I'll come back for.

K. H.

Lovely setting and attentive service, meal was perfectly fine, but nothing outstanding given the prices charged. I left feeling somewhat shortchanged, have had more memorable meals elsewhere for less.

G. W.

Went to this lovely old restaurant for our Xmas lunch. What a treat!! The array of food was mind boggling and so tasty. Lovely hostesses. Felt spoilt

S. P.

Visited here for my husbands 50th, menu and food amazing.... equaled by the fabulous front of house staff...thank you Georgia for your excellent service!

s. p.

A beautiful meal $55 for 3 course. The staff very pleasant. Highly recommend this restaurant. Been in NZ for 8 years and I think it's the best restaurant we have ever been.

D. E.

The food was amazing 10/10 and if you go early yo can look at the gallery up stairs..👍🏻😮

B. H.

Been twice now. They have a fixed three course menu. Delish

D. O.

The food was fantastic and the service was excellent. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys superb dining.

J.

Hidden away behind the façade of an old townhouse, this restaurant is a hidden gem in Taupo. The quality of the food is exceptional and delicious. You will need to make a reservation in advance though as they are very popular.

M. D.

Great food. Great service. My date taught me and the staff a thing or 2 about "cutlery etiquette"... if the staff had already known about this... I would be giving 6 stars

S. d. B.

Amazing food. Highly recommend prawns as starter, beef as main and lemon tart or raspberry brulee for dessert. Nice wines by glass. Great staff.

T.

The food was delicious!! Great service, lovely staff!! Would definitely recommend!!

E. P.

Excellent food, excellent service. We especially loved the lamb, but every dish was expertly prepared a delight of flavors. The food was so good that we scraped every plate clean!

J.

Fantastic meal, and fantastic service. Food was original and showcased great local cuisine. Wait staff were friendly, and extremely helpful in catering for coeliac.

C.

Lovely place for a nice dinner. Exquisite food for the price, they clearly know what they're doing in the kitchen. Presentation and taste are to a T. Freindly staff as well. Well recommended.

C. L.

Ate here just over a year ago. A well priced set menu. Received great service and our choices from the menu were very tasty. Loved the experience from start to fish.

M. a. M.

There is no better food in Taupo and the service is professional yet relaxed. Best steak I have ever had from anywhere in the world.

g. d.

Absolutely love this place. Great staff and great food. Always make a point of eating here when we stop in Taupo.

M. K.

Really good quality and tasty food with friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. They do cocktails even if it’s not in the menu.

B. W.

Good location, quality staff, good food. Quite noisey and some courses could do with being a little larger. Generally value for money. Hence 4 stars.

Beautiful food, so pleased we decided to try desserts, exquisite. Warm and cosy on a cold winters night, with an attentive team. Big thanks to Karen for the recommendation 😘

M. W.

Squid starter was underwhelming. So were the duck fat potatoes. Tasted like they were just reheated from the fridge. Pork belly main and desert were great.

P.

Delicious food, amazing service. We really enjoyed our night here and recommend as a must do in Taupo. (Also good value for money)

I.

Good food. ( 4 out of 5) I took daily fish. the cheese plate is delicious. Helpful staff. But nothing really perfect 😬
