A non-descript shop set-up just outside the Paihia waterfront, Paihia Bakery sells a variety of…read moreready-to-eat meat pies, along with coffee, tea, and fried chicken. I ended up picking up two meat pies: a steak and cheese (NZ$6.80) and Steak'n'mushroom (NZ$6.80). They were very hearty with a very strong brown gravy and big chunks of meat. There wasn't much cheese as I could see, and the mushrooms added were the canned variety. One would definitely fill you up if you ate the whole thing. I ended up eating what I could at the waterfront.

We went here this morning to pick up some premade sandwiches before our boat tour and we got a…read morechicken salad sandwich and a shredded chicken sandwich and both of them were amazing.

Prawn skewers were good too. Steak was tender and tasty. Burger was very good. Side salad nice with a light dressing. Strangely the restaurant policy is no substitution of salad or onion rings for fries. Non negotiable. Locked in to their computer system. Silly business decision from management to choose not to accommodate the paying customer. I guess they have never heard of up-charging for a more expensive side.

I ordered pan fried gurnard with chips (though I should have gone with battered), my girlfriend had battered gem fish. We had a chowder to share. The table next to us had the massive platter for two, which immediately caused me to have order envy! It's not until it's demonstrated that one truly understands the difference between the experienced expert professionals and the merely bumbling clown: nothing was over salted, greasy, soggy, or tasteless. Everything was fresh and expertly prepared. It makes you wonder why we put up with stuff that leaves the paper it's wrapped in clear from grease.
