A few reviews of HUHU - Read what some of HUHU's customers think about us...
At HUHU cafe we offer a range of menu items which are natural, healthy, and appeal to a wide range of tastes. The menu is ingredients based, and focuses on small plates, meaning that each dish is based on just one or two key ingredients. Customers can choose a combination of two or three small plates to create a meal that appeals to their tastes. Ingredients are predominantly sourced locally. There is a truly New Zealand flavour to the menu.
The wine list is carefully chosen to complement the menu. Our House List features one or two excellent, but modestly priced, examples of the main New Zealand wine varieties, available by the glass or bottle. Our Reserve List features some of the best wines New Zealand has to offer.
As well as our a la carte menu we have a range of counter food, including muffins, scones, bagels, cakes and slices for those wanting a quick snack or something to take away. Our coffee, roasted by Atomic, is of a very high standard.
Our décor has a contemporary New Zealand feel, with comfortable seating. There are great views from within the restaurant, and from our outside deck, over Waitomo Village to the bushclad hills beyond.
The HUHU café team is lead by Chef Andy Rawles and Owner Bruce Maunsell. Our staff are keen, knowledgeable and skilled in providing excellent service.
