Bistro Lago

The Hilton Lake Taupo has always been the domain of tourists since the early days when De Bretts Hotel, on the same site, was a popular stop on the former NZ Government tourist trail, offering the high standards of accommodation and support international visitors demand. The Hotel’s restaurant caters to this and Bistro Lago’s menu is a fine example of how food can be presented to both those travellers and local diners.

Recently appointed Exec Chef Rudolph Segers has experience cooking at highly rated spots around the world, most recently at Blanket Bay. His focus is on local ingredients that are incorporated to a sophisticated full menu. At breakfast, the rich house-made venison black pudding with fried eggs, caramelised balsamic apple on rewana bread would make a great start to any day. For dinner, a free range brick chicken, lots of excellent choices from the grill with accompaniments and for something lighter steamed blue cod, shiraz caviar, shiraz caviar, quinoa and polenta fritter with a white wine velouté.
