Latitude 37

You don't need to be an orienteer to find Latitude 37. All you need is to keep an ear out for joyous dining in the heart of Mount Manganui.

The kind of place that everyone can enjoy, Latitude 37 keeps it neutral and stylish, and, in so doing so, has achieved mass appeal with locals and visitors alike. The restaurant is spacious, airy and light with cool greys and provides welcome relief during the Mount's searingly hot summers. During winter, it also transforms into a safe haven with gas torches dotted all around to keep you toasty warm whilst the temperature plummets outside.

Ease into the evening with a mouthwatering range of small plates set to suit every palate. Set sail with the market ceviche, served with a light pineapple salsa, coriander, coconut and lime, or stay on the turf with options like steak tartare and eggplant caponata. For mains, enjoy large plates like succulent slow-roased lamb with roast carrot purée and summer mint and pea salsa, or keep it classic with the market fish and chips.

You also have a selection of succulent burgers to choose from, as well as platters should choosing prove too difficult. But when Nutella parfait and sticky date pudding are on the horizon for dessert, we're getting out our compasses and heading to Latitude 37 without delay.
