Local Talent Taverna

This fun taverna in the centre of Whangārei township has a distinctly Greek feel. Really popular with locals, it’s a buzzy casual space where everyone can feel comfortable and dine well. There’s an interesting menu of Greek/Mediterranean-inspired dishes that are offered at different times of the day.

Lighter-style lunches are served Thursday to Saturdays and there’s a much more comprehensive menu at dinner Tuesday to Saturday. Snacks are available in between for those who just want to pop in for a drink and pita and dips, or the much-loved bifteki and cheeseburger with the must-have Greek fries. Popular dinner dishes include prawn souvlaki, the very good Greek mezze plate (including tzatziki), a delicious beetroot salad and souvlaki of shawarma-spiced chicken or lamb kofta with Greek yoghurt and mint oil, both with generous servings of green salad, Greek fries, tzatziki, pickle and grilled pita, to truly capture the Mediterranean mood.
