Cafe News

At HUHU we offer a range of menu items, which are natural, healthy, and appeal to a wide range of tastes. Ingredients are sourced locally wherever possible. There is a truly New Zealand flavour to the menu.

Our menu runs throughout the day from noon until the evening and we often have additional lunch specials available as well. Our coffee, roasted by Atomic, is fair-trade and of a very high standard.

The wine list is carefully chosen to complement the menu, and all of the dishes on the menu have a recommended wine match to accompany them. Our wine list features a number of examples of the main New Zealand wine varieties, available by the glass and/or bottle.

We also have a growing selection of boutique New Zealand beers and ciders to enjoy - we serve Taranaki's Mike's Organic Beer on tap, as well as a Summer Ale from the Hawke's Bay, a black beer from Wellington, an India Pale Ale from Christchurch, a ginger beer from Dunedin and a number of ciders from Nelson to name but a few.

Our décor has a contemporary New Zealand feel, with comfortable seating. Huddle up next to our cosy woodburner in the winter. Or, during the warmer months, you can enjoy the views over Waitomo Village to the bushclad hills beyond from our relaxing deck area.

The HUHU team is lead by Head Chef/Owner Cassandra Davis-Ware and wife Kimberley Davis-Ware. Our staff are dedicated to providing our guests with a wonderful experience - we all want you to enjoy and remember your time with us.

Best Restaurant in New Zealand

J	Jas Bull on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My GOD this place is good. After visiting for lunch and being blown away by the risotto balls, we travelled an hour in total to and from our hotel just to eat here for dinner. I'm very picky and everything we had was absolutely delicious, the risotto balls were out of this world. Drink selection was great too, selling both half and full pints, with a nice cider on tap. If you're visiting Waitomo or in the area, do yourself a favour and eat here, I can promise you won't regret it. The waitress even remembered us from lunch and asked us how the glowworms were - an easy 5/5!!
A	Aaron Moore on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As nowhere else in Waitomo was open (8pm on a Saturday night) we had no choice but to visit Huhu. They were clearly understaffed and the young people working there looked exhausted. Still, we were served lovely food with a smile and would love to go back under normal circumstances. Thanks for being so accommodating!
Q	Qi Hong Wong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pretty pricey establishment in Waitomo. The food quality is good and the service was reasonable. Do expect a reasonably long wait however. (it was a weekend and the restaurant wasn't full but there was one big table shred of us). I would give the Kumara skins a pass next time - expected more crunch less char, but maybe my expectations were a little unreasonable. The fish & chips were good - very light airy batter. But a bit more fish would have been nice, the chips were a little average. The mushroom fettuccine was delicious but a tad oily at the end (maybe due the choice of cheese?).
S	Shannen on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely amazing food and friendly staff!! Couldn't fault anything. We got salt & pepper squid and the crispy buttermilk chicken as entrees (they're actually light meals) and both were tender and flavourful. For mains we had the pork hock and the potato gnocchi which were incredible. The soufflé was absolute perfection and so nice with the black doris ice cream! Haven't had a meal like this in a long time and the price was awesome as you get huge portions for your money. I would come back all the time if I was from here. Thank you so much Huhu for the best service and food I've had in a long time.
J	Jake Haskel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious food with a beautiful view and excellent service. We had the sirloin & the lamb and cleaned both plates. And the sticky toffee pudding is a must! Highly recommend.
R	Rebecca Fox on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We recently dined at Huhu and what a fantastic experience we had. The food was outstanding and enjoyed it so much we went back for the second night and again outstanding. The atmosphere and staff (Alesha) were fabulous couldn't fault a thing. Coming Back in a couple of weeks and will be booking in. You beat Auckland restaurants hands down, well done...
N	N M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Its not that the food is bad it’s just so bland my wife and I thought we had COVID after eating there. Thankfully the salad was on point and flavourful. For $30 a plate I either expect more food or a better quality. I guess you pay for the view.
G	Gerry K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had such an enjoyable dinner here last night. We often stop and have a dinner at the Waitomo Pub but that was full, so we tried the Huhu cafe. Service was fast, friendly and professional. Food was awesome, especially the lamb. Very good local beer selection and the wine list was great. Great setting on a hot summer day too. We'll be back :-)
