Reviews of Lukes Kitchen
L.
We were in Whitianga’s region just after the public holidays in February and fortunately, Luke’s kitchen was here : with good food, good mood, and decent opening hours. We were with our baby, which means that naps give the pace of our days. Luke’s kitchen was the only place in the area serving great menu whatever the time of the day. It was a real pain to find good cafes and take-away in Whitianga, everything was closed or very average. Luke’s kitchen is worth the 20 min drive, the deco is awesome, Luke and his team are very friendly and the food is awesome, even for vegetarians like us. They know what tasty means. Great beaches are 5 min away. Thanks Luke!
B.
Had the pleasure of popping into this cute little restaurant. Absolutely loved the experience. It was super chilled and relaxing. The vibes and atmosphere were just what the soul needed.
The service was on point by all the staff.
We ordered GF menu and they were able to cater. The food was fantastic. Very friendly fresh and full of flavour.
Thank you team, we will be back. ❤️
J.
Lukes kitchen is well known out in Whitianga so we had to stop in for one those famous wood fired pizzas, hubby had a local beer which he enjoyed and I had a pimms cocktail which was yummy. Tried the karage chicken and side of fries with garlic pizza and the antipasto pizza all hot and delicious, staff was friendly and helpful, dog friendly. Highly recommend
L.
We went in for dinner as a friend had recommended that & it was so great we went back the next day for breakfast, and then lunch too. Sweet spot with great ambience, service & food. There also isn’t anywhere else really to eat nearby so i was chuffed this place was so nice because we were super happy to go back there & support such a lovely local business.
n.
Amazing food and service. Lots of friends told me how good it was and I am happy to join that chorus 🙂
R.
One of the best places to relax and eat. Beautiful food and friendly staff. Highly recommend
V.
This place came highly recommended for any visitors to Coromandel. The wait was very long (nearly an hour, plus a queue to enter) but the food was unbelievable. We especially liked the seafood chowder (a special). Waiting isn't so bad either. There is a stunning view of the sunset and great atmosphere, rustic decor and friendly servers that really make it feel authentic. Definitely a must-visit in the area, though perhaps come on a weekday to avoid the wait.
G.
Great pizza and awesome service even though they had reduced staffing levels due to COVID-19.
Look forward to heading back again soon.
L.
Fantastic food and wonderful service. I absolutely recommend a visit 👌
M.
1st timer ,even tho I've lived in the Mandel for years ....lol
Absolutely love it ,friendly staff, amazing cocktails, great pizza and some of the best squid I've ever had .
A1 SERVICE, well done to you and your team .
M.
Very good pizza (a bit salty for my taste), warm atmosphere, very friendly staff!!!
P.
Always an awesome place for a bite to eat or a drink. Cool beachy vibe with warm and friendly staff. Love coming here with my family and friends ❤
Delicious meals and great selection of drinks for everyone.
Heaps of parking and very popular all year round. Especially in summer.
My wife's favourite pizza place on the peninsula.
Thanks team 🤙🏽💪🏾
s.
It was the day after New Years when we went in, so they were extremely busy. There was a little wait for a table, but the staff and the service were amazing. Once we were seated and ordered, there was hardly any wait on food and the pizza was the beat I've ever had! Great management to be so busy and it still be so seamless.
P.
Pizzas are amazing, locally brewed beer is great, setting is unbelievable. OK, so there can be a bit of a wait to get in during peak holiday periods but it's well worth it. What an awesome place!!!
L.
Proper pints & fabulous food! We had the Mean Bean pizza (amazing!) a large salad and cauliflower wings (special) which definitely need Luke’s chili sauce. Perfect setting. Great music and lovely staff. We’ll definitely make an effort to come back!
M.
Great place to eat with excellent pizzas. Where they excelled was the way they catered for children: from proving pizza dough for the children to shape before they are cooked to providing colouring books - nothing was a problem.
We have been there 3 times and we will be back.
H.
Luke’s was very busy when we arrived. However the service was awesome and food was fast. Exceptional mussels! The olives and the smoked potatoes were also excellent. Worth the drive from Whitianga
M.
No doubt is a nice place , my review is for the pizza only , I put 4 starts for the atmosphere but the pizza is probably 2 stars
the restaurant was too full and we decided to take away :
- yes is a wood fire pizza but unfortunately is not even close to the real Italian wood fire pizza, if you have been to Italy you know what I’m talking about :)
Really nice the washbasin in the bathroom, hollowed out of a stone , it shows a great attention to details
j.
Came here for a quick bite on new years day 2022. Gotta admit, I didn't think we'd be seated bexause of the lunch rush but i was impressed.
Drinks and food came out quick and were delicious.
Cheers team!
D.
Great pizza and some of the best steamed mussels we've ever had. Also a great local craft beer selection - 1 of the only places beer from "Blue Fridge" brewery can be found.
A.
What more could you want? Delicious smoked potatoes and a cute cat curled up by your side. The potatoes with aioli and sauce are amazing, good value at $9 and a nice alternative to chips. The garlic pizza I had was nice but too salty for my taste. Service was fast and friendly. The fancier pizzas on the menu are overpriced for me. My German boyfriend enjoyed the mulled wine.
M.
Pizzas are Devine, lovely settings and excellent customer service
M.
Brilliant. Great to see this place thriving during these strange times. Great to see the team treat everyone the same unlike others in the area. I know where my money will be spent in the future. You guys rock.
S.
Really can’t get better wood fired pizza! Nice fish and chips too. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. Short drive over from Whitianga.
E.
Great place, very popular though.
There's often a queue to get seated but the food is good and didn't take long to arrive.
Locally brewed beers on tap in full size pint glasses and a great atmosphere.
P.
have been coming here for years and have never once dissapointed! amazing vibes and super friendly service with the most amazing pizza! highly recommend if you are in the coromandel :)
G.
Called in for a quick lunch one day - had a wicked haloumi bagel from the display cabinet! A couple days later came back for dinner for my mums birthday. I snuck off and asked the friendly staff if they would be able to throw together a cupcake and a candle totally expecting nothing as they were super busy but he told me he had it covered with a grin. 20 minutes later out came the chocolate slice with the whole staff singing happy birthday and all the customers joined in. A super positive experience and mum was stoked. Thanks for making her night guys! + extra points for good vegetarian range.
F.
We heard great things about the food but decided not to eat here because we saw all of the staff not wearing mask, but a card lanyards that they were exempted. Would have been totally fine for 1 or 2, but it seemed disingenuous.
Our visit was on 28th of December 2021, Coromandel is in Orange and Auckland in Red.
J.
The only restaurant we go to when we are back home in Kuaotunu. The pizza’s are cooked to perfection and the entrees and salads are yummy! A must try if you are ever in this little place of paradise.
The cafe right next door has the yummiest treats and great coffee to kick your mornings off the right way😊🙌🏻
J.
Visited 1st time for over a year, again excellent. Had mussels and the black jack pizza, bottle of pinot noir deliverance.
Easy parking outside, scaned in, vaccination pass, great service.
Easy going beachside atmosphere .
S.
They serve the most delicious pizzas!
S.
All food was very nice and place itself was also nice. Kind staff and beautiful scenic restaurants. Recommend this place.
N.
Probably one of the best cafés I've been to in NZ, and I've spent my whole life in this country! Highly recommend the smoothies and the coffee walnut slice.
L.
A must-go when visiting Whitianga/Coromandel. Easy, scenic drive... I'd been thinking of the steamed mussels for years between visits. When I declined the bread because I have to be GF, without me asking they made me a special GF pizza base garlic bread. 😋 Thank you! Recommend the attached cafe too.
H.
Fantastic night at Luke's. Great atmosphere, service, food, drink and entertainment from the Passion Vine Hoppers.
K.
Food is amazing. Taste is divine 😋 awesome customer service. Live music was a great way to relax on holiday. Be back to visit again.
v.
This Cafe was very busy when we arrived but we were seated quickly. Service was super friendly and the food was delish. Will definately go back.
t.
Great Italian style pizza cooked in a wood fired oven, enertaining hospitality from the owner who is a great host, and proper loose leaf tea in pot. Neat people and place.
s.
Awesome setting, tantalising and fantastic menu, great service from the staff, great views of the beach, plenty of parking
D.
This place is amazing, the food is brilliant - pizza is beautiful. And they cater to dietary requirements which is always nice. The fish pizza was my favourite
M.
Beautiful vibe. Staff soo friendly.food beautiful. Dont order too much servings generous.had a pasta salad with spicy lamb so struggled to finish.nice atmosphere front row to the beach and sunsets.

Fantastic food in a super relaxed atmosphere... Great service.
L.
Best place for food once yr over the Kuaotunu Hill, this is their Fish & chips dinner & it tastes just wonderful.
J.
Cool cafe with great wood fired pizza. Coffee was nice and came in a cute wee cup. I liked the decor of the place and there was plenty of parking across the road. Cafe was pretty busy when I went but was still able to find a table. Staff were friendly and attentive even though they were pretty busy. A great relaxed vibe in this cafe.
T.
Excellent place, great service and attitude. Deserves its good reputation. The food was good too..
P.
Nice Pizza from the oven, one point deducted for the 🧀, I prefer Mozzarella. Very warm and friendly staff!
R.
Excellent pizza. Can get a little busy during peak holiday periods so expect a little wait, well worth it.
E.
Great service, incredibly friendly staff, good food and a beautiful spot. Highly recommended.
R.
Had lunch on my birthday, pizzas were fantastic!! Lovely vibe, great location, great food. A must!! We were very very impressed with the vegan mozzarella on their vegan pizza!!! Not easy to perfect a vegan cheese so well, so that was a great surprise. Thank you very much! X
M.
Ordered pizzas and chips, very nice, very tasty, was very busy tho and took about 1/2 hour to make but worth the wait
C.
Great food in a great spot. Excellent service and food was really quick to come out, even when the place was packed.
M.
Awesome place to go. All the staff so friendly, atmosphere awesome and food tops. Thanks Luke's Kitchen. Amazing

D.
Awesome place! Great food, nice location and good atmosphere. Perfect stop for your Coromandel loop ride. Will definitely come back again!
S.
Love this place, it’s got a really nice relaxed beach side cafe vibe, lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the sun. The menu is great, everything is very reasonably priced, plenty of vegetarian options. Great coffee (they serve Coromandel’s own Coffee LaLa) and muffins. Loved the fish wrap I had for lunch.
D.
Great little spot in the Coromandel. Great Food and first class service
S.
We visited on what was probably one of their busiest days of the year. However, amazing service by all the staff. Everyone was smiling despite being super busy. We didn't have to wait long outside and we were propped in a cool spot at the back with views across the quirky bar and restaurant. The staff managed the crowds so well. Our pizzas were amazing and overall a fantastic experience on what was a cold miserable day outside :)
E.
Great food, great atmosphere, great service 10/10 would recommend
D.
Always a great spot. Pizzas are very good
Y.
Not bad. We heard wild reviews and drove out specially. It’s a cool place and the staff are friendly. The pizza was a bit too cheesy and oily, with heavy toppings for our liking (including their Margherita which wasn’t made with mozzarella and had no basil). We’d love to see a few classic/ refined pizza options on the menu.
B.
best service and staff!! makes a great atmosphere and very enjoyable. delosh food too!
A.
Unique food and setting. True holiday experience and although really busy service and food great.
D.
The best place for fabulous food, relaxed vibe, fantastic drinks and just the most amazing ambience and personalised service. Coming back to Kuaotunu to enjoy more of Luke's kitchen. A real hidden gem!
L.
Delicious pizza, great atmosphere, friendly staff.... what more could you want! 😀
F.
Great tasty food and friendly service!
S.
Great food, amazing pizzas, awesome vibes. Must visit if you are in the area.
R.
Beautiful food. Place was buzzing and didn't wait long for our food
G.
Beautiful woodfired pizzas. Went on a Monday night and was still really hard pressed to find a table. Great atmosphere, would highly recommend for lunch or dinner. I ordered the "fresh as" pizza which was pretty much a margarita and it was delicious
A.
Fabulous food and service
R.
Food was great so did the live music. Awesome place, cheers!
I.
Awesomeness at it's best!. Wasn't open but was cooking in the kitchen at the time and still served up a beer and a snack! Great location as well,, A must visit...
C.
My 1st time there n goodness! The pizza was amazingly amazing! That's definitely our eatery whenever we are in town! 😁
D.
Great service even when super busy, food was amazing too
G.
Awesome! Worth going out of your way to visit. Great tap beer from a local brewery and loved the wood fire pizzas. Friendly staff with table service. I kind of wanted to give them a bad review so that we could keep it to ourselves, but I think it's too late!
A.
This place has tonnes of character. I had an amazing pot of fresh mussels with woodfired garlic bread from the pizza oven that is visible next to the dining area. It was packed and aparently always is, but a great experience none the less.
F.
Great food, good service, good atmosphere,and a very good band. Also has to be the best way to entertain a 2 year old I have seen. A pizza dough base kept her entertained for ages. Top mark to the team.
S.
An out of the way place but well worth a visit or two. About 12 kilometers from Whitianga and an easy drive to get too. It's just off the main road and opposite the beach. A lovely big Cafe offering a variety of foods, craft beers etc. I had two entrees. One kraage chicken and the winter slaw. Delicious. 7 people on our table and no complaints. What a unique place. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had a great lunch.
B.
What a gem. They were run off their feet during our visit, however the wait between order and receiving our coffee and food was very reasonable.
The coffee was one of the best I have had in a while. Large, hot and not burnt.
The food that followed was just as good, generous, hot and tasty.
I will be back next time I visit the Coromamdel Peninsula
M.
What a great spot to end your day. We stayed in Matarangi and a friend suggested we tried this pizza place nearby. A nice laid back beach style bar with a huge wood fired oven spitting some of the best pizzas in the region! I’m definitely coming back!
J.
Great pizzas and service.... Best ever just down the road from our favourite beach 🏖
J.
Had the garlic pizza and the pepperoni pizza to take away.
Absolutely delicious 😍
J.
Amazing, amazing service and food! You can’t go wrong with a pizza (salmon delight is my favourite) accompanied by a pint of the white IPA on tap. There was a girl waitress, that hosted us yesterday and the day before, she was awesome and remembered we were on holiday and leaving soon, great for building rapport and made us feel good. Thanks again team!!
H.
Great experience and food was great. Recommend the pizzae
G.
Friendly helpful staff & tasty pizzas. Family friendly, alcohol or mocktails available.
#.
Food was good, a little prices. Quick service and overall pretty good experience. There is a little lack in variety of food but still filling regardless.
D.
Some amazing fresh-ingredient food with some vibe! Came across this cookery on sunny beach day & enjoyed the open-air seating. They can cook it up! The wood-fire pizzas look spectacular, wraps/sandwiches sizeable; I personally had a chucked-full seafood chowder & crispy greek salad. Don't pass this place up.
C.
Awesome service, great tasting food, good ambiance, fantastic prices. Spent only about $80 for 4 people for a weekend dinner
B.
Best pizza I've had in this country!!! Very friendly staff and amazing vibe and the food was tremendous!!!!
P.
Dreamy! Gorgeous peeps - delish food - yummy cocktails. The mussels are AMAZING!
S.
Lovely meals in a great location
B.
Great food, fun atmosphere, top service!
K.
Very good and generous portion, it was yummy 😋 bartenders were kind and the woman knows exactly which beer you need 🥳🥳🥳
R.
Amazing green lipped mussels in white wine cream sauce with flat bread! Busy but friendly crowd, had a great chat with some of the locals. Highly recommend!
N.
Fantastic, rustic pizza-beer, beach bar experience. Local brew on tap, local lads jamming on the wee stage. Have been here before, will be back again.
B.
Great tasty food and relaxing atmosphere.
B.
We enjoyed this spot. We did time it nicely as the placed filled pretty quickly after we got there and then a long line built up. This is an indication of how the place is viewed.
Great spot just off the main, parking was easy to get I to.
Place had a good feel and felt like a surfies shed type of deal. This added to its charm. Food and drink was good we spent more than we planned but that's because it was good. Staff were friendly and did the rounds to the tables even though it was busy.
My apologies I paid early so there was confusion as we were waiting on part of of our 3rd order but the team thought we were done. Had a bit of a laugh with I belive was Luke but yip all good.
Thought I had some pics but guess I was too busy eating and drinking
A.
We had an awesome lunch at Lukes Kitchen last weekend during the powercut on Saturday. The pizzas were great and the people serving us went out of their way to make sure we had a good time 😃😃
M.
Food was absolutely delicious. Shared a pizza which was cheese, prawns and pesto and the loaded hummus. Definitely recommend!
R.
The guy running this place is like the nicest person ever. So friendly. Great place if you've got the kids in tow. They have all the classic foods seafood chowder,pizza ,chips I got the hot hummus great dish. A good beer and wine list. Lovely beach nextdoor what's not to like.
T.
Get there early or you may have to wait for a table. It's worth a wait though as the pizzas and mussels are fantastic.
a.
Nice pizza relaxed atmosphere
B.
Great atmosphere. Great staff. A special place in the Coromandel
P.
Great local beer, lovely people and service. Wood fired pizza looked amazing (we didn't eat though as we already had plans, but seriously tempted)
G.
Awesome food. Loved the winter salad
M.
Great food served quickly. Good vibes
T.
I have never had a tofu salad that good before!
S.
Yummy food and dog friendly. What's not to like.
G.
Lukes catered wonderfully for our group. Gluten free requirements were met and I took dairy free cheese as I am intolerant and the waiter took it and handled with caution. Truly enjoyed the experience and will be back!
J.
Awesome Café experience with a lovely vibe. Nice selection of teas, drinks, foods and treats. Has decent wifi for working and just a pleasant place in general. Loved it here.
J.
Such great place. We love it. Good craft beer, lovely service, great pizza and mussels were awesome!! You can also buy food from Cafe and eat in restaurant.
Just bring some extra time on the weekends as queues outside waiting.....but it is worth it:)
C.
We were seated quickly, it was warm although the weather was terrible the indoor heaters were awesome. We expected a long wait for our food considering how busy it was but the food was really quick, tasty and so yum.
My 21 year old son treated me out to dinner and it was just lovely. Thanks guys, I'll be back.
P.
Visited Luke’s Kitchen on 3 occasions in late February and on all occasions we’re not disappointed.
Saturday 27th Feb - Lunchtime. First visit was to grab a quick lunch time bite to eat and a couple of drinks. Saturday 27th Feb - Evening. Food was excellent and service was friendly and quick.
We were so impressed with the food, service and atmosphere of the place decided to head back that evening for a more substantial meal and of course a few more drinks. Luke’s Kitchen do not take bookings and we can fully understand why as the queue to get in was probably 10 deep all evening. Having said that, the tables turned over very quickly and after a short wait we were seated and shortly afterwards our drinks order was taken and within minutes we were served our drinks and food orders being taken. All this with a smile and a chat. Once again service and food was exemplary and very good value for money.
Monday 1st March - Evening. We enjoyed our meal so much we decided to head back on the Monday. Again we were not disappointed with the food and service however after checking my account when I got home they had overcharged me $39.00. My fault I guess as I should have checked the bill when paying however it made little difference. After emailing the restaurant and giving my details the $39.00 was refunded into my Bank Account the following day with and an apology for the mistake given.
Sorry this has turned into a novel however everything about this place is first class. If and when you get to the Kuaotunu, Coramandel Luke’s Kitchen is a must.
D.
Awesome place. Great food and service.
P.
Wrap Heaven!
Love Luke's Kitchen. Beachy feel but fantastic quality food. Staff are friendly and relaxed, casual but busy accommodating and seating customers like it's the easiest thing in the world all the while working hard. Food is outrageously delicious and fresh. I had the fish wrap today. Best wrap ever. Don't miss this spot. Thank you Luke's Kitchen 👍
E.
Such amazing food. Great atmosphere.
J.
A wee touch of paradise. The calamari salad was delicious!
A.
Came here for breakfast, the Spanish eggs were so delicious! The atmosphere is so chilled, great music and the staff are so friendly. Highly recommend! Will definitely be back :)
a.
Fabulous experience. The food was wonderful
C.
Love the vegan pizza! I'll definitely come back but I'd prefer to have a couple more vegan options in the menu. Love the place, the kind staff and that I could find an option for me =) Cheers!
H.
Just the best pizza in all Coromandel !
Amazing place, affordable price, we love to get there during our day off.
s.
We were driving through on a rainy day and stopped here and wow what a gem of a place. Warm, inviting, and the food was amazing, pizzas were really tasty and the calamari salad was fantastic. I would reccomend this wonderful restaurant to anyone who asks.
L.
This place is always packed, they have friendly staff, an exceptional setting and great food. I've been here before but this is my first rating of this spot.
The food was fantastic. I had a Triple P pizza and we ordered kumara fries and a margarita pizza for the table. We also ordered calamari.
I'm giving this spot a 3 star rating as there were quite a few mistakes in the service tonight. We asked for the calamari starter which the waitress wrote down but then we received a calamari salad instead. We ordered 4 kumara fries but only received one and had two ask two different waitresses what happened to the rest after waiting over 20 minutes. When we paid we somehow had 6 kumara fries on our bill when we only ordered 4.
With all that said, I'd still come back here again and if the service has improved then I'll adjust my review. The food was fantastic as always and everyone was very pleased when they received what they ordered. I'll grab some photos next time and update this review!
H.
Lukes Kitchen was unique but the chair I sat on was wet and had to place a paper hand towel down to sit on. The food that as really good .
A.
Nice food, well priced, tasty local beers on tap, and a pleasant location opposite parkland and the beach. Be warned though, the place gets very busy on long weekends, expect to queue up at the entry!
M.
Great relaxed atmosphere. Beer and food are also. Felt like we were back in the Med having Tapas but with that great kiwi style.
I.
Stunning setting and great food
R.
Staff were cheerful, helpful, positive people. My fish cowder superb, Barbs mussels were super fresh, I enjoyef a couple myself. great location over the hill from Whitianga. We will be repeat customers!
T.
Love Luke's warm and friendly staff, fantastic food.
A.
The food is beautiful and lovely ambiance !! Worth a visit !!
J.
Great atmosphere, excellent service. We had mussels and pizza which were great, washed down with a very fine local brew and a generous pimm's. Will be back and it was busy even now in July.
B.
Really good service, beatiful location and great food.
S.
Very popular place. Been many times and pizza always the best. This time had mussels and was a bit disappointed lots of grit and yes should of told them but we tired heading home and just didnt... hope next time better. Very busy if going for a special occasion..book.
B.
Called in for lunch, Laid back place great setting. Tasty wood fired pizza & great chicken wraps.
E.
If you're near kuatunu, you gave to head here for a pizza. They're 👌
D.
Good food. Average to good service. Relaxed dining. Varied clientele. Nice beach restaurant experience.
P.
Pizza was really great. Service was pretty good. Beer selection was local and interesting and I enjoyed it. We did have a minor issue with our food. But I won't go into details because of how well they dealt with it. Can't give 5 stars because of it. But I would go back. For sure. The prawn and pepperoni pizza was great.
B.
As to be expected on a public holiday, very busy, limited seating, but, still great service and even better food. Job well done team. Don't know how you did it, but you did!
M.
Great atmosphere and great food !
s.
Set out with a 1960's beach shack feel this place was very cool. Fish n chips and a wood fired pizza with some locally brewed beer to wash it down. This is the sort of place you could just stay all day and just chill.
R.
Friendly staff, delicious foods 😋, from Barista coffe and breakfast to evening dines, all at the same awesome venue
F.
Awesome friendly staff... easy on the eyes! Food is unique and tasty. Locally brewed liquid on tap. Shuttle service on the busiest nights when there's bands playing. The worst thing is trying to get a seat in January but you can always order takeaway and prop up the bar while waiting.
L.
Great food, drinks and service. Nice atmosphere, great place for a group of friends to go for dinner and drinks or a family to go for a nice relaxing dinner.
Would highly recommend if in the area.
D.
Best spot on the Coromandel if you fancy a pizza and a beer the view is Devine the staff perfectly add to what is an amazing experience and Coronas are only 8 bucks if your a buck short your still good :)
G.
Great service, the lady front of house seating everyone was awesome. Fab food. Just an amazing spot all round!
L.
Fantastic food! Great service!!
J.
If you're heading to the Coromandel this is one spot you do not want to miss. Delicious pizzas, excellent service and awesome vibe. Perfect for all ages.
O.
Always fresh and delicious. I love how things come out when they are hot and ready. It's a good idea to order a few things to share so the food just rolls out. The mussel pot with cheesy garlic pizza bread is always the winner. Minus 1 star for the food being a little slow and no table service but they're not a big deal.
M.
Great service, great food, a must visit
J.
Love Lukes. Its the go-to brews with the boys location around Kaoutunu. Recommend going for the kumara fries, the mussels and the higher end pizzas. Only negative is the coronas aren't as cold as they ought to be
S.
Great atmosphere, excellent service. Food tasty. Very popular for all ages. I would happily come here again.
P.
Watched this business develop over the years from such humble beginnings. Amazing vibe and possibly best gluten-free pizza in NZ. Can be busy and a victim of its own success, so be patient - it’s worth it. Luke is a legend.
W.
Great food. Amazing views from restaurant
P.
Great place, great food, pizzas are top drawer!
b.
Awesome food, amazing service. Was offered free beer tasters to find the best tap beer which I reckon is pretty awesome. Their woodfired pizzas are 👌
M.
Great atmosphere, busy, which means slow service onces your order is taken till when your food comes out.Also can be a bit of a wait for table although staff do there best to get you seated as soon ss they can
No service No Atmosphere No waiting
Great Atmosphere , busy, there's a bit of a wait (sometimes).
Food is good, prices ok staff very helpful and friendly, even when they busy. Give it a go, if you are reading reviews you are more than likely visiting the area and dont have to come back if it doesn't suit (someone else will happily have your table.
Good luck
G.

Great live music and relaxed atmosphere 👍☺️
G.
Oh how fabulous! Magic food, superb service from the staff, especially from Anna,1 of the most accommodating and caring waitresses I have come across in NZ.
J.
This place is simply the best.😘 everytime I go it always lives up to the five star standard.
The pizzas are so tasty and every pizza to suit all taste buds amongst other food on the menu.
Enjoy a local made beer or a wine with your food in an ambiance that only you can experience at Lukes Kitchen.
C.
A must do, when in the Coromandel!!
Pizza is great, set up and atmosphere is relaxed and really encompasses the vibe of the area.
The menu changes frequently and the ingredients are always interesting and well paired. Highly recommend checking out the seafood pizzas, great place to chill out and try locally brewed beer and cider. Go for a walk on the beach and catch the sunset.
K.
Fab place, full of character. Compact menu with some slightly staid choices, but well cooked and presented. Service was friendly and despite a missing drink which was quickly remedied quick and efficient. Highly recommended.
D.
Great food, friendly staff. A bit of a wait to get in as it's popular but they did their best.
R.
It is always a pleasure to come back to the wonderful food from this place🥰. You shall never be disappointed. Awesome service, great support staff and ofcourse a pleasure to come back. Great coffee and savouries from the cafe too. Wonderful place👍. Keep up the great work guys.😇
h.
Cant recommend this place enough. Great view, great Pizza and they were playing "runnin" by The Pharcyde as we ate our food...you have to try it but be aware it gets very busy, for good reason. Damn near heavenly 🤩
L.
Wow! What a great place to stop. The staff clearly enjoy working here, the pizzas were superb and speedy and oysters were delightful.
S.
Nice enough place. Very "hippie", which is fine. Food is pretty good if you like pizza. Service a bit average maybe. Overall pretty good, but you will do better if you turn towards the sea and head for the Good Time Kai Club operating out of a caravan by the beach.
S.
Well organized for such a busy place. Waiting was minimal, food tasty, drinks cold service great. A must visit when in the area.
A.
Lukes kitchen is a wonderful place to hang out , the atmosphere here there is amazing such a vibrant chilled vibe , with a pizza oven in the central of its floor ( producing awesome pizzas) .The staff are always smiling as they buzz around . Totally recommended Lukes on beautiful sunny day or a moody broody day .
J.
Love Luke's Kitchen 5th gig there for AceTones
A.
Nice place. Extremely busy. The food is good, so as the service. Really liked their pizzas. They have indoor and outdoor tables, good views. Would recommend this place. Thank you! 👍👍👍👍👍
C.
Great pizza good service although a basic uniform would make the front house staff look a little more professional, (maybe service aprons) as short denim skirts and what they attempt to hide are great, (at a time and place) but not sure I wanted it on my pizza 😂 but overall worth a visit 👍
K.
Dropped in for cofe and snax all good
S.
Good food, good service, nice atmosphere
K.
Pizza is very good. And coffee is excellent. Water for the dog if you need it. And service is with a friendly smile.
M.
Raving local reviews didn't disappoint, and I now count myself among the many who consider Luke's a culinary treasure. With a stunning view from the tip of the Coromandel Peninsula; outstanding cuisine; friendly and professional service; and reasonable pricing, this should be on the to-do list of all who happen upon the vicinity.
G.
Drinks and pizza consistently good
G.
Better than ever...never disappointing
A.
Great coffee, rustic feel with laid back atmosphere. Friendly helpful staff.
Delicious hot kumara chips served with aioli. Lots of yummy pizzas to choose from. We enjoyed a special dinner celebration one evening and nice coffee and cake during the day. Highly recommend!
O.
Best pizzas I've had in NZ so far and the seafood are to die for!
A.
Stopping here is a must. Love this place!
R.
Great atmosphere and surroundings. Food was excellent. Staff were all very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely go again
J.
Lovely little eatery with a surfy, beachy vibe. Food is fresh as and tastes amazing. Good range of beverages to cater for a wide range of tastes. We had the smoking honey pizza, salt and pepper calamari, and loaded hummus. I would marry the loaded hummus....seriously, it was that good. The tortilla chips were damn delicious! We're going back to Whitianga in April and plan to come back for more!
H.
Get yourself there. It's the friendliest,nmost delicious food place you'll find in the Coromandel, I'd suggest the blackjack for olive lovers. They also do a fine seafood chowder. Went for 4 days and spent all 4 nights in there having their Local beers and pizza. Perfect. Can't wait to go again in the summer.
C.
Love love love Lukes Kitchen. Drool worthy to the extreme. They have never failed a meal yet and we always leave satisfied, impressed and hanging for our next visit. Top notch team
S.
Great pizza, fab atmosphere
P.
Great service from the friendly staff, very tasty food! 10/10 would recommend! Lively atmosphere
M.
Always enjoyed this place as nothing else around but last night was disappointing. Tomato puree as a base on pizza? Lazy. And $29 to boot. Whoa.
And the Gluten free little hippy was very bland indeed. My prawn pizza was good though. And the pinot on the wine list was wanting. With pizza. That's sad
d.
Excellent atmosphere, delicous pizzas and cocktails. Highly recommend and such a good find!
P.
Luke's kitchen is one of the best Cafes/Restaurant that I have been too. I have been in Kuaotunu for 6 days on my own and each day I walk to the Cafe for there great coffee/food and juices. All the staff are brilliant. The food is super amazing. Love this place ❤❤
m.
Pleasantly surprised to find this nice place with honest food and a warm ambience in a spot I considered was quite remote. Pizza was really nice service was prompt. Would defiantly go again...
g.
Great stop on a ride around the coromandel. It was Waitangi Day so the place was busy as . The food service was exceptional with the food coming out in only 10 minutes from the order being taken we had fish and chips and a pizza both were great . I travel the country on a motorcycle looking for great destination cafes and this is a good one. I will have the visit published in bike rider magazine in a couple of months and a vlog on utube in a few day’s just look up Gastromrider channel
C.
We had a large fish wrap and were impressed with the quality and freshness
M.
Always lovely and great atmosphere
F.
The food here is soooo good!
M.
Jolly good pizza and the local beer was fine, pleased we stopped on our way through. Worthwhile stop, enjoyed.
B.
The food, the wine, the beer are always excellent, but what sets this place apart is the brilliant customer service. Highly recommend a visit on your next Coromandel getaway.
A.
This is a must go to restaurant when you are on the Coromandel Peninsula. Great
Pizza's with gluten free options but a little expensive. Other options such as fish and chips. Open for breakfast, lunch and Dinner but not open every day (the days change depending on time of year). There is also a cafe next door.
j.
The service was amazingly good, even in a super busy night of Summer everyone keep the smile on their face and help you the best they could. The place was packed, food is reasonably priced and of good quality.
M.
They do mussels takeaways!!
R.
Call about 40 minutes before arriving and order a garlic pizza so you can go in and pick it up. Then you have a snack while you're waiting
C.
Great atmosphere and the food is amazing as well
D.
Great casual atmosphere, good beer and wine, nice menu, everyone enjoyed the food. Great play area for children after a meal - see NZ Koala in the tree!
J.
Great pizzas! Calamari salad was nice, calamari was cooked well. Good location as it’s across from the beach
N.
Pizza and calamari salad was good, took a bit long.
S.
The best pizza, maybe even the best food, in the Coromandel. Luke is personable and oversees the running of the whole business. Delicious food from a simple but growing menu, local craft beers available, and all so close to the beach you can smell the salt in the air.
J.
Great food and fast service. place was packed and only waited 10 mins to be seated and 20 mins for pizza to arrive. Odd Muppet or 2 not understanding "Wait to be Seated" taking matters in their own hands and making right pillocks of themselves. Embarassing
L.
We arrived at rush hour on a Friday night and the staff was great ! Surely doing their best, very smiley, efficient : perfect !
Pizzas are good, beers as well, and the decor makes the place very homy !
Go !
R.
Great food, great service, great view 👍
n.
Cool place. Nice beer selection and good Pizza. The location is absolutely awesome. A lace you shouldn't miss out on.
T.
Excellent pizza and fish and chips, very friendly service. Can be super busy which means you'll have to wait, but the setting is gorgeous. In our case the wait was too long (5* for food and staff though)
J.
Gr8 place to eat. Excellent food and friendly Staff! Lovely atmosphere here too!
G.
Good food and service. A little wait to be seated but our fault for not booking. Food was yum.
M.
Great live music with Albi and the Wolves. Good pizzas and entertaining dough for the little one.
P.
Delicious gourmet pizza! Incredible views and welcoming staff :)
D.
Absolutely loved it! Needed the nachos and mussels after driving on the wrong side of the road all morning. Just delicious! ...and my brother's name is Luke, too. So a total win-win all-around.
S.
Laid back fun atmosphere. Staff were very helpful and were able to customize my pizza to include anchovies. Pizza was delicious. Live music started up later in the afternoon.
P.
A favourite place of ours and a Coromandel icon. Wood-fired pizzas a speciality (plus other sea food dishes), fast service, good locally brewed beers and friendly staff. Oh, and fabulous La La coffee, locally roasted. Lovely beach for an after- lunch stroll and handy to Opito Bay. Recommended. Price-wise very reasonable.
T.
Very busy place over the summer holidays. Not your normal restaurant. They have very long wait times if it is busy. You can be waiting up to an hour for your food. And 10 to 15 minutes in que to order. But the pizza was very good and the staff are very kind. Very nice location
G.
Loved our time here a really fantastic experience.great staff.fantastic food(loved the oysters) live music was great....we will be back.
N.
Good woodfired pizza but not as amazing as many other 'generous' reviews suggest. The bases are thin and crisp, lacking elasticity, a chewy bite that comes from perfecting the dough and using quality flour. The base and topings also lack flavour. Still, these pizzas are the best food in the area and are great to tuck into after you're done at the beach.
R.
Oh my god the food is amazing. Very friendly staff. Great service especially considering how popular they are on a sunny day. Our favourite place.
M.
We had a little hippie pizza, freshly made and very tasty. 25$ are not cheap, but the best pizza I had for quite a while! Very busy with locals and really cozy.
A.
Had their antipasto-pizza and it was excellent. We had a small lunch that day and was happy we stopped while passing by. If you're in the area it's worth checking out
L.
Loved it, good vibe, staff are personable, making one feel at home quickly, good service, great food. OMW their Crispy Calamary salad was amazing :) happy face, happy tummy. Their speciality seems to be pizza, I had pizza bread starter / entré which was great. Good vibe for holiday
l.
Delicious pizza and great atmosphere. Was very busy but they got our food out quick
F.
Squid kebab is a must do. Absolutely brilliant combo. Very rustic hippy vibe, love the place and their service. Just across the road from the beach, this is a rad place to take the whanau. Surprisingly not too expensive too
M.
Awesome food, great atmosphere and really good quality selection of craft beer. Killer.
Y.
Fabulous pizza and great service. Wonderful setting and outlook to beach.
T.
Amazing pizzas and great fast service. Such a great vibe to the place. Will definitely visit again.
M.
Amazing staff and delicious food. Great for kids. Best location. Paradise! :)
K.
This place is great. Really nice vibe, good staff and food was excellent. Can see why many people rave about it.
J.
Absolutely amazing Pizza (with a beautiful wood oven base). Simple but delicious. Would definitely go back. The atmosphere made it feel like we were not in NZ.
S.
When staying in Whitianga what a fantastic place to go for a meal. The food was excellent and the scenery plus beaches are awesome. A must do.
N.
Would be a 5 star if we got our own table to sit at other than that very nice place and good food
C.
If it was possible to give 10 stars, I would give them for sure. Delicious pizza, lovely service and great location - one of the best restaurants I have ever visited!!!
T.
Went on a Sunday afternoon food was hot and fresh but nothing very exciting pizzas wood fired but not lush and the polenta chips were more like fried mash potato. Not to my taste but it was packed.
A.
Really great service and lovely food in a beautiful location. Feels like a beach bar overseas!
H.
Awesome vibe. Awesome sunset. Awesome food! Drove from Pauanui just for the smoked kahawai pizza and margaritas!
M.
Location is amazing but the food wasn't anything special. The pizza was good but the bases were disappointing. Loaded Hummus great but the fries were very bland
M.
Great place to grab a bite to eat and a beer and enjoy one of the best views around. Steve on Front of House is the master of customer service.
B.
Had coffee and early lunch. Very nice. Lovely ambience and great coffee.
M.
Great rural area with restaurant and lovely sunsets. Very chilled during the week before everyone else on the weekend.
N.
Beautiful food & great service
W.
Wonderful all round... Service, food, atmosphere and a gorgeous evening outlook.
G.
Great staff, lovely food and drinks at a good price! Good views.
c.
Loved this little gem - food was awesome and the whole vibe was brilliant - a definite must when you visit Coromandel
j.
Well organized for the public holiday influx. Food was mostly great with one dish being a little average.
R.
Excellent service, food and atmosphere! Salt & Pepper Squid is my fave 😋
C.
Great place. They manage to do good food and service which isn't easy at seasonal places. We kept going back.
P.
Luke's Kitchen is an absolute gem. We stayed at Matarangi for over a week and after discovering Luke's was there everyday sometimes three times. Coffee is great. The beans are from a local roaster I think and we could live on their fish burgers-YUM!
j.
Love Lukes, went with a large group of friend had incredible pizzas, chowder and stacks. Food and service amazing. Never been disappointed will be back next time we in the area.
L.
Lovely vibe, beachy, calm and the employees are excellent!
G.
Friendly staff, great atmosphere and food was on point 👌🏽 must visit when in the area
L.
The place is in a lovely spot, staff was friendly. I had a piece of bacon in my vegetarian pizza and it really put me off. Maybe will try again one day, but I was not impressed.
B.
Luke's has always been a popular stopping point during our trips through the Coromandel but this last visit left a touch of a sour taste in our mouth. Whilst the food and the majority of service was impeccable (hence the four stars) a certain staff members brusqueness and dismissiveness was definitely noticed. Hoping she was only having a bad day but it was felt by all members of the table.
We all have bad days, so we hope to be back soon and have the authentic Luke's Kitchen hospitality we know and love.
K.
The breakfast selection is limited, and won't feature the normal range of fried meal options.
However, the Spanish Eggs are surprisingly good. The other breakfast options are reasonable, but they don't compare to the eggs.
C.
So amazing... the food, the staff and service so great !!! Always love going there!!!
R.
Fantastic pizzas. Loved the different flavors... extensive menu other than pizzas. Great service and atmosphere. Will be back.
D.
Love the ambiance and the food is great. Just such a cool place to go.
L.
You would think a place like this would be able to sit on it's laurels and simply let it's fantastic and scenic location the draw. But thankfully they believe in good, locally sourced and freshly made tasty food to enjoy while appreciating the fantastic view.
H.
Had a great lunch here today, what a wonderful place, perfect weather, food, wines beautiful & staff were excellent!!
D.
Best pizza of New Zealand!!!
H.
Pretty busy in summer but worth the wait. Good spot, great service and a good selection of food.

B.
Great crew, terrific energy and good food at really good value. Will be back for sure
I.
Quirky lil place with great food. Highly recommend dropping in for a bite
L.
Best pizza's, excellent service, beach vibe dining at it's best!
Z.
Great dough, awesome tomato sauce & finger licking good cheese is what makes the pizza my favourite snack and how Italians still quality score a pizza joint today. Luke's getting 5 stars for that. The long black took way too long to make but that was mainly due to poor workflow from the peeps behind the 3 group wega but the first coffee itself was very good & the second above average. The hustle & bustle style isn't for everyone I guess but looking around me I saw lots of happy faces, good vibes & the location is obviously more Coro than most :)
Go check it out for sure!
F.
Delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff!
D.
Awesome spot, friendly staff, great food & service. Looking forward to visiting again

Such good food and an awesome vibe. Service was excellent too!
R.
Great atmosphere glorious food try a pizza. Yummy worth the trip to get there cheers
L.
Lukes trading post cafe and separate restaurant are located right next to each other - the cafe is on the corner. The cafe serves excellent coffee and has a good selection of cabinet food (including quite a few gluten free options). We grabbed a couple of the GF thai peanut salads - prepackaged and ready to put in our chilli bin. These made a filling and super tasty take home dinner.
A.
Lovely beach hideaway place. Great food and very friendly service
