I would like to thank MMK staff for their great service and amazing food today...we had a table of 18 for my Mum's 70th birthday lunch....we couldn't have had a better waiter...his memory will blow you away...thanks Matt for topping off our day with your great customer service.
I personally had the Italian Chicken Salad and I can't stop raving about it!!!!
Awesome place for Mum's special day!!!
This delightful restaurant is in a wonderful setting. The food is excellent, the staff are friendly and welcoming and the cost is very reasonable. This is definitely a place to try and I will certainly go there next time I am in the area.
I can’t get over how there is a totally seperate and full Gluten Free Menu 😳 very lovely ambience with a spectacular view outside. Definitely creates are more relaxing vibe. I ordered the GF French toast, simple but tasty. However, do feel it lacks something. Perhaps some extra fresh fruit or cream/mascarpone on the side? Overall, I enjoyed it and would like to come back.

Matakana visits for now will be a thing of the past, with this virus surrounding us it’s hard to gamble, especially with health, luckily, we had our last visit here even before the dreaded “C” word infected lots of people surrounding us. This visit was around three months ago during summers peak, we passed by Matakana Market, dined in for lunch at the Matakana Market Kitchen before heading off and relax in the nice beach of Tawharanui.
Fantastic wine and great food
Amazing place had the Garlic Baked Flower Pot Bread and the Hummus and Halloumi Wrap with roasted vegetables both were divine and the coffees were great
Surely a must visit place and surely coming back

Popped in for lunch with the fam while in Matakana and we were so happy with our meals and service. We got seated at a really nice big table outside with a view of the stream which was nice and the waiter was really sweet and got along with my Dad well. To drink I ordered a fresh squeezed orange juice and it was one of the best ones I've ever had it was so good. To eat I had the avocado on toast which at first they mixed up and brought out baked avocado so we had to send it back but they brought the avo on toast out in the next 5 mins it was super quick. The avocado on toast was good but a little bland so could have done with some seasoning but was still good and looked pretty. My family ordered a bunch of things to share like: fresh garlic and herb bread, lamb lollipops, stuffed mushrooms, sticky pork ribs ,chicken livers and the five spice duck tacos which they enjoyed all of it. We also got the funky chips which were so yum. We had such a good time and the service was fast and friendly, I definitely recommend to pop in here and I'm really keen to try their dinner menu.

This place offers a fantastic and peaceful setting with decent food and a thriving vibe, especially on the weekends. We came here during the farmers market so it was very busy.
The setting here is the real seller with a placement on the edge of the river. It also sits within the beautifully developed area for the matakana farmers market. It features a rather rustic feel to the place like you are in a cottage garden. All these aspects provide a wonderfully relaxing dining experience. We were lucky enough to get a table outside under the sun and it was wonderfully quaint despite the busyness. The tables were also at a good height and the chairs were comfortable providing a very conversational space, which is always important when creating such a space I feel.
The service was efficient enough and the staff were extremely friendly. The food came out at a good time, not too slow and not too fast.
The food was good but nothing special which is why it doesn't get full marks from me this time. The menu in our opinion was too big with far too many options. However, they did have a separate gluten free menu which had plenty of great options for people with any dietary requirements. I got the steak sandwich and found it to be good but maybe a bit bland. For me it was lacking something, but it was still good and I would recommend it. My partner got the fish and chips and felt a little the same as myself. So overall, the food is good but isn't amazing.
Overall this place is a fantastic option when travelling this way, it offers a peaceful and beautiful setting with friendly staff. It is an efficient operation within a conversational space. This place is great for a warm day and being outside enjoying good company and food. The vibe is busy and caters for a range of individuals. The food is okay but nothing special unfortunately. However, the menu has lots of options which some find good, but I found there to be too many. Overall a lovely setting and decent food.
Dinner and breakfast at MMK. Great host and the staff very cheerful. Food looked amazing, I ordered the flounder meal that complimented the rest of the food on my dish. Big portions and ate it all. It was heaven, as I never get to see flounder on a menu in all the restaurants that I have visited. Breakfast, I had the vegetarian dish, large portion which I ate all, it was amazingly the best. Had great experience and will return again.
Have to give this place a 5 stars! 🌟 which is very rare for me to do. Excellent chief, great services, and lovely atmosphere. Total surprised to have discovered this place.
FOOD: All food are nicely seasoned & spiced, as well as keeping its original tasty juice. All meat are well handled tender and moist. Everything are very tasty and I can tell that the ingredients are fresh and seasonal. Good portion as well. Reasonable priced, you get what you paid for no doubt.also the Brownie is awesome, rich chocolate flavoured but not too sweet, well balanced and nice spongy soft texture. Best gluten free brownie I ever had.
SERVICE: couldn’t decide on the wine the Waitress offered us a wine taste even though We’re just ordering two glasses not even a bottle. We order more food after finishing courses the waitress change our plates with our needing to ask. 👍👍👍
We came here on Valentine’s Day so it was fairly busy but they still offered us great service. The food was unreal - super fresh, seasoned and delicious. We ordered the large rib rack, chicken Caesar salad, fish and chips and B AND E sandwich. I definitely recommend the fish and chips as the fish was fresh and the portion was huge.
Came here for a casual Sunday lunch and it was the perfect spot on a sunny day! Coffee was excellent, service great and food pretty damn good! Scallops in particular were lovely
Amazing food, great vibes and good location. We got the Sicilian chicken, eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and chorizo with salad. All the dishes tasted amazing, and were cooked well and fresh. The cocktail selections were good too. And really good service. Can’t say enough about this place. Thank you!
Delicious food, and a nice atmosphere. It was a bit cold the night we visited, so we asked to be seated at a different table. The staff were helpful and accommodating. The food was very well presented, and tasted wonderful, with decent portion sizes. A couple of spelling mistakes in the menu, which gave us all a good laugh.
Three of us turned up for lunch and what a great experience we had.
Our server, a wonderful lady who had wit and charm, settled us at our table and looked after us wonderfully.
We enjoyed duck tacos, the seafood chowder and the baked brie. And we shared a punnet of chips.
The food was really top knotch. Even the chips that are such a mainstay of dining out in New Zealand can often be very poor. These were crisp, non oily and flavoured so wonderfully with garlic that really elevated the humble chip to hero.
The outlook was nice, looking out over a small inlet with ducks playing on the water. Parking was easy. Very highly recommended.
One of the best restaurants in Matakana New Zealand. You can find Sri Lankan prawn curry with rice and sambol. The selection is massive and delicious. Have separate menu's for brunches, breakfast, lunch and dinners. Hope to go back there again someday.
Fabulous place. We booked the day earlier and lucky to get a place. We had some drinks and shared a starter, main and dessert. The quality of the food and the service was fantastic. We had a nice walk up and down the street post our dinner. The place is a little tricky to find but nothing major. Highly recommended
A quiet little corner of a quiet little place, eating on the terrace by the river or inside with the modern decor makes it a great atmosphere. We arrived mid afternoon and they had space but it had previously been full as it's so popular. The food and drinks were fresh, tasty and really well presented. Portions too left us all feeling satisfied.
Fantastic fresh food and service. Scallops in half shell was prefect, rib stack and prawn cesar salad where all faultless and super yummy. The service was warm quick and efficient.
Thank you for a great lunch.
Easy parking out the front through the week. Easy access.
We came here twice on consecutive days. The food was amazing, the menu huge, the brownie was stunning. The service was second to none. Great place and fully worth multiple visits
Visit here at least once every time I go to Matakana. Relaxing vibe and consistently great food. Must try? The Snapper and Scallop Risotto is out of this world 👌
A great range of beautiful, homemade food. Reasonably priced. So fresh and tasty. The setting is incredible too. The only disappointing is that even though we bought quite a bit of food they charged us a dollar each for a cup of hot water. I've never, ever been charged for hot water before when eating in and buying food. Even if I get one takeaway I've never paid more than 50 cents and that's for the cup. I think charging that showed bad faith and was just greedy. It was a shame to end an otherwise perfect experience with such a bad taste in your mouth.
