Social Club - Taupo

This restaurant is a delightful place to enjoy a meal. Jas was a fantastic host, and his warm welcome and attentive service made for a wonderful evening. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and full of great flavors. The menu, while not extensive, offers options for a variety of dietary preferences. The restaurant is clean and spacious, providing a unique and cozy atmosphere with a log fire in the winter. The views of the lake and mountains are absolutely stunning. Overall, it was a lovely dining experience.

We have only visited Social Club Taupo for breakfast in the past, so when my partner mentioned having dinner there, we were eager to go. Our previous experiences at this restaurant have been exceptional, with delicious food and attentive staff who went out of their way to accommodate our requests. The atmosphere was lovely, with a beautiful view of the lake as the sun set. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, making for a fantastic evening. We will definitely be returning over the Christmas holidays. A special shoutout to the bar staff and chefs for even packing up our leftovers to take home.

We had an incredible dining experience with a stunning view at this restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, especially towards our vegan and vegetarian needs. They answered all of our questions with a smile and made us feel welcome. We tried the banana blossom fish and chips, as well as the vegan fish tacos, and they were both delicious. The food was fresh, served in generous portions, and prepared with thoughtfulness. The mocktails were also delicious. We will definitely be returning the next time we are in Taupō. We left the restaurant with smiles on our faces.

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.
