Roquette Taupo

Roquette Restaurant & Bar is a standout in the Taupō dining scene, offering refined European-inspired cuisine with a fresh Kiwi twist. Nestled at 13 Tongariro Street in Acacia Bay, this stylish Taupō European bistro invites diners to kick back and indulge in beautifully crafted fare that looks as good as it tastes.

One of Roquette’s many highlights is the artful way each dish is presented—an elegant nod to modern gastronomy and new trends in contemporary cooking. Expect intricate plating and bold flavours from every angle. Start with bacon and mozzarella arancini, dive into beer-battered scallops, or melt into the smoked salmon tartare. Mains like braised lamb shank and crispy pork belly reimagine the classics, especially when paired with one of New Zealand’s award-winning wines.

The laid-back yet polished vibe makes it perfect for long lunches or lakeview dinners. Guests can kick back inside or grab a seat outdoors, all while enjoying top-notch service from a friendly, attentive team. Roquette also caters to gluten-free, vegetarian and other dietary needs with ease.
