We had a lovely evening at Oreti Restaurant. The ambiance and Service was superb. Looking back down Lake Taupo without the crowds of Taupo City was captivating on a lovely evening. The fish was very well cooked and very tasty. My friend said his steak was "melt in your mouth". The duck I had was sparse and a bit tough and not falling off the bone as expected of a " duck confit". The ginger sauce that accompanied it was lovely.Thank you for your wonderful comments. We are glad you had a great experience in our restaurant. I apologize the duck was a little tough, but glad that you enjoyed the ginger sauce which accompanied it. Hopefully you return to dine with us again soon. Hope you have a great weekend.Thank you,JamesResident Manager

3. The Turangi Bridge Bar and Restaurant
Reviewed By Linda J
We stayed one night at the Turangi Bridge Motel & had dinner in their restaurant. It was one of the best meals we have had in a long time & Missy came in especially that evening. Hosts were great - so was the open fire. Highly recommend a meal here. Also had breakfast which was very good.
