Auckland foodies - there's a new reason to leave town and it's to check out a delicious new dining spot in the Coromandel.
After running fine dining restaurant The French Cafe for 20 years, Simon Wright and wife Creghan Molloy-Wright have opened up a new food-truck-style eatery in Whangamata. The
vibe is all about serving up quality street food in a casual dining environment - in this case, an industrial area on Lindsay Rd, where the kitchen is the food truck.
"The core essence of everything we've always done remains: creating unique experiences centred around the sharing of exceptional food," they state online.
Expect the same great hospitality as the French Cafe but in a more casual environment. Breakfast and lunch options include folded eggs with spanner crab, smashed pork and fennel sando, a vegetarian Bali Bowl for lunch or zucchini fries with curry leaves. But the menu will change throughout the year depending on what's in season and what local ingredients are available, so you always know you'll be eating quality locally-sourced produce.
