Tasty dinner, huge portions - Edit
We went there for dinner and really enjoyed the vegan fish and chips. Portions were huge so we couldn't fit in any dessert. Went back for breakfast the next day - I appreciated them doing something more exciting than avocado toast, but did find the coconut cream mushrooms a bit weird.

Yummy generous portions - Edit
Quite a few dedicated vegan options on the menu, including a dessert.
Read moreMost of the vegan mains use a battered banana blossom ‘fish’ as the main component, which is fine because it tasted SO GOOD. The cocktails and dessert were also really tasty.
The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed.

Vibes & views - Edit
Was pleasantly surprised that the accommodation I booked also had a restaurant with some vegan options, clearly marked. I had the curry and it was delightful. Good flavours, decent size, and good dose of tofu and brocoli. The staff were lovely, and the views of the lake are great.

Delicious vegan options with a view - Edit
The vegan fish tacos were amazing and my friend had the vegan fish and chips which she loved. The vegan hot chocolate was so lovely and we had such good service - they were all so happy to serve us and so happy to make us happy. We sat by the windows as well which was lovely, with a great view of Lake taupo and snowy mountains.

Nice surprise above hotel - Edit
After randomly selecting a hotel in Taupo (Lakefront Lodge Taupo), it was a very pleasant surprise to find the restaurant/bar above the hotel and a very decent range of vegan options. I ordered the vegan fish and chips, made from banana blossoms, which was an excellent replica. The vegan breakfast plate was enjoyable as well, although the tofu scramble wasn’t seasoned much.

Multiple vegan options - Edit
Ordered the vegan breakfast and the restaurant was out of Tofu for the scramble. All other options were vegan fish for whatever reason. Ended up subbing out the scrambler for mushroom in coconut cream sauce that wasn’t on the menu.
Read morePros: Multiple vegan options, Friendly and accomodating staff
Cons: Not much variety - most options were vegan fish
