We opted to drop by Hahei in search of food after relaxing at the nearby Hot Water Beach. Some…read morebusiness that advertised gourmet eats was locking up for the night and we were thinking we might be going to bed hungry. A nice chap rolled down the car window and told us to drive down the street in Hahei to the Hahei Holiday Resort (camp ground). We followed his advice and discovered the Serial Griller who was taking orders for delicious burgers. I found the Mickey to my liking while my wife ordered the Mallory (because it contained maple bacon jam). If this business was sitting anywhere on the beach you would have to stand in line for an hour to place your order. I am not sure why they are hidden away in a campground but it is the best kept secret in Hahei.

This place, although only a few of the options are vegan, is right up there. And if you read my reviews, I don't give that many five star reviews. Like the railway next door, this place is very Coromandel, and you must visit the cafe when you visit the railway. It's very rustic, and not a little bit hippy. The food has immaculate and fancy presentation (flowers, but not pretentious). I had a tempeh wrap, and even though I don't really like tempeh, it was awesome. Also had by my son were some very acceptable pancakes (crepes, if you're reading in American ;-) and my mother had high praise for her burger. If there's only one place you eat in Coromandel, made it here.
