Rotorua being half way between Tauranga and Taupō is a great place to meet up.
For a change from a noisey cafe I looked for a restaurant for lunch.
I am so glad I chose Matai Restaurant.
The welcome on arrival was warm and helpful.
There is plenty of parking.
A small but excellent menu with everybody’s favourite. I thought the pricing was reasonable.
The setting and decor was very nice and warm!
We all enjoyed our meal, which was cooked to perfection and full of freshness and delicious flavours.
The staff was very attentive and friendly.
We look forward to returning.
Thank you for having us.
