Plateau, Taupo: Hidden Gem
(Review by John)As a visitor to Taupo I would not have found this restaurant, as it is a couple of blocks tucked away from the main strip of cafés and restaurants closer to Taupo's lakeside. I was taken there by a local, and it was immediately clear why this place is so popular with those who know about it."Plateau" is in a very modern building, cleverly designed to provide distinct areas where you can enjoy a beer in the bar or dine outside on a mild summer evening. The beer choice is extensive, and includes many of NZ's boutique beers not always readily available in larger bars.The food choice is also extensive, with a bar menu, restaurant menu, and the night I was there also boasted a curry menu. I had the salmon on a taragon mash and spinach. It was delicious, nicely presented and had a great array of flavours.
