Social Club - Taupo

Great location with an amazing view. Staff understand vegan choices and chef makes a lot of vegan food. Nice and relaxed place and even better if you grab a first table. Suitable for everyone as options to suit all. Great cocktails too

A nice no fuss spot for dinner. There's quite a few vegan options including dessert! They also do delicious cocktails if that's your thing. Quick to bring out food and extremely friendly staff.

Ordered the vegan breakfast and the restaurant was out of Tofu for the scramble. All other options were vegan fish for whatever reason. Ended up subbing out the scrambler for mushroom in coconut cream sauce that wasn’t on the menu.

The vegan fish and chips were absolutely delicious! I was surprised by the apple crumble I thought it will come like a pie but it was good the mango sorbet was delicious

We had only a quick stay at the Lakefront Lodge in Taupo. To our delight, upstairs was the Social Club, Taupo, offering drinks and food, with happy hour from 3pm. Kiran, the young lady basically running the show was AMAZING!!! She was friendly, knowledgeable, shared a joke with us and all round SHE made our visit very enjoyable. Kiran is efficient and very good at her job, she kept the show running as it got busier through the night. As for the food, my partner ordered the Pulled Lamb and thoroughly enjoyed it. He’s not much of a “foodie” so for him to rave about his meal, it must have been good. I ordered the Chicken Tacos, they were tasty and two was certainly enough, along with the yummy garlic ciabatta we ordered. The surprise delight for me however, was the Strawberry Lime Cider! Soooo good and a definite winner. The view is of course wonderful, looking out over the lake and it’s a pleasant, casual atmosphere, made lovely with the real fire crackling away. A must visit we would say.
