New openings Bay of Plenty in New Zealand

"He promised and he delivered. New owner and seasoned restaurateur Luigi planned to revamp this Papamoa icon, with its stunning beachfront location and relaxed vibe, into a modern café, restaurant and function centre. He’s now done it, successfully turning it back into a Papamoa dining option. As the locals are saying – Bluebiyou, it’s nice to have back."

"Papamoa East has a new local and its family-friendly for early diners. The typical kiwi beach pub bar/restaurant is a craft beer Mount Brew house and has a good selection of food – they do a good steak, ribs, Sunday roast and have a variety of smaller plates including fish tacos. Great news for locals is the courtesy van."

"I love the way Vivienne at Adopt has taken her women's recycled clothing store up a level. Clothing takes second stage to an eclectic collection of furniture and bric a brac. It's a little bit French, a slice of country and a lot of cool retro 20s and 30s. Check out the two boar heads."

"A recently opened friendly Bethlehem neighbourhood café with a modern yellow and black theme and not far from the Gordon Carmichael Reserve cycle/walkway. Delicious breakfast and lunch menu as well as counter food."

"Stylish and sophisticated restaurant/café which heads up the new business block in Golden Sands, Papamoa East. Not only does this funky place do some amazingly healthy and awesome food Henry & Ted conveniently stay open for dinner and have a liquor licence. Definitely recommend its relaxed friendly vibe."
