Review The Brantry - Taupo

Had a table of 5 come to Brantry for dinner. They offered for us to sit in the "cellar" which was a very cool atmosphere and gave a private dining vibe. The food is part of a set menu, one cost for entree, main, & dessert, however they also had a special main for an addition cost. Our group tried most things on the menu all together and no-one had a bad item. The service was quick and the wait staff were lovely. All around a great experience definitely a key recommendation for a nice dinner in Taupo.

Beautiful three tier Dégustation where you can choose one of each course. Will definitely come again for the food and enjoyable cocktails. Friendly and patient waiting staff awaited us and our food came out rather quickly. The coconut prawns are a must order.

A Truly Phenomenal and Unparalleled experience..When we arrived we were greeted by the wait staff, this was truly a memorable moment, the young male wait staff was so inviting professional and classy when opening the doors to leading us to our table, his friendliness and amazing service was impeccable..He was truly fantastic...The drinks list is fantastic amd their 20yr port was divine...The courses are beautifully crafted...The entrees were mouthwatering, the mains were succulent and delectable and the dessert was smooth and simply out of this world..and also the sharing side of broccoli WOW just WOW..each dish was made with so much love and perfection..and the chef placed a candle on the dessert dish as it was my partners bday so that was truly special...We left this beautiful establishment full of excitement and happiness that we raved all night about the flavors and service and every experience...Truly, you MUST visit this gorgeous place..the prices however were mindblowing, for such elegance i expected the price to be more but its truly soooo affordable and low priced...Classy, Sophisticated yet homely and full of character and just pure joy...loved loved loved The Bantry we are so coming back....Our compliments to the entire team.

How can it be that this Michelin-stars deserving restaurant is not in Cuisine’s top 50 (let alone the top 250). Something is wrong with this picture. The food is exquisite, the staff are consummate professionals and move about the restaurant in a blur. The food and wine are delivered without delay even on a busy day and the atmosphere is hard to beat. It has a warm cozy glow with gorgeous New Zealand artwork adorning the walls. I’m cancelling my @Cuisine magazine subscription and booking another night here.

Found in the Lonely Planet book, it felt like a good dive into the New Zealand kitchen. The staff was kind and made sure our drinks were filled. The food was tasty, especially the lamb shoulder and the wine was good too. The owner seemed to know more about wine

Neat qerky idea of turning a house into a restaurant. Good range of alcoholic & non alcoholic drinks. Had the 3 course menu with the eye fillet which was cooked perfectly. Disappointed that the shared side didn't come out until we were almost finished our main. When it did come out was a little dry & portion size not suitable for 2 people. Had the sticky date pudding for dessert which was delicious.

This restaurant is exceptional. The surroundings are super cosy. Like you are in an old fancy pub in England. Our group was made to feel very welcome. drinks by the fire before being shown to our gorgeous cellar room. The food was delicious. Everything was cooked exceptionally well with very balanced flavours. I highly recommend this restaurant if you want to go somewhere special.

The food was pretty good - NZ cuisine. The vegetarian starter was a bit simple though. Take a note that their menu doesn’t have everything on it and they also additionally have a vegetarian dish of the day (no idea why they don’t mention it). They only have set menus at around $90 that include a starter, a main and a dessert.

What an amazing place! One of the best restaurants in Taupo and North Island. Set up in a house, this restaurant has plenty of space to suit any party from 2 to 20. Wine list is pretty good, there is a fireplace by the bar where you can enjoy a glass or two. And the food - the food is just divine! There were 4 of us, and each plate, from starters to mains and desert - everything was unbelievable. I definitely recommend this place for a visit.

This would have to be one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. I think what really made it was the service, staff were genuinely interested in ensuring we had a good evening. Food was amazing and great atmosphere. It is connected to an art gallery too.

Thank you for the amazing meal and friendly service. The staff here topped on my perfect birthday with your food, service and surprise candle in my dessert. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you!!
