The Church - Hahei

We had a lovely family night at the Church Bistro. Everyone enjoyed their meals from the well planned and interesting menu and the service could not be faulted.

We had a lovely dinner. Fantastic food!! Staff are lovely and friendly. The ambience is really nice. Love the Seared Tuna, Pulled beef crispy sushi rolls, and the fresh salad. Kids enjoyed their food (loved the steak was extra tender) We ordered all three desserts on the menu they were all divine! Kids and I loved the Brazilian Cheesecake Kudos to the Chef. Grateful to experience dining here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We went to The Church Bistro which was conveniently attached to our most wonderful Church Accommodations Cottages. The space was unique and that it is actually an old church. We started with a shared appetizer of duck confit served with goat cheese in a filo dough nest which was excellent and an indication of the meal to come. We ordered one of the specials of the night, which was a delicious seafood Thai green curry served with house baked cumin bread (I can still taste it 's cumin deliciousness now). We also ordered the grilled salmon with black rice which was perfection. We shared the dark chocolate dome for dessert which was equaly delicious. The service was friendly and familiar while at the same time being equivalent to the best restaurants in big cities. Surprisingly, this bistro in this tiny town in what some may consider 'the middle of nowhere ' happen to be one of the best meals we 've had through our month-long journey around New Zealand.

We had dinner here over the weekend and we got an entree, a main, and a dessert each, which we could not fault. Each course was cooked perfectly and the flavours were beautiful. One of the better dinners out we have had on the coromandel. Unfortunately we didn’t get photos as we were too excited to eat our food! Recommend highly!

Amazing food and friendly staff. We attended a Brazilian barbecue themed evening and everything we had was yummy. The food was generous and we will filled to the brim when we left. The chef also accommodated one of our guests who didn’t eat meat without us evenings asking. Will certainly recommend it
