Clarence Restaurant

Clarence takes taste buds on a Mediterranean-inspired journey, where the essence of Kiwi produce offers an innovative take on traditional dishes.

Inside, choose a fixed head table or drift to the back, where tap slides and glorious prints dominate the walls. Step onto the balcony with a glass of bubbles, gaze at the sky, and soak in the ambience of the Clarence Boutique Hotel - a luxurious escape within Tauranga's grand historic post office. Let the mind wander in this space, savouring a seamless blend of 1900s charm and modern comfort.

Kick off the dining adventure with a delightful array of small plates: from blushing pork rillette with crackling, black garlic, and Granny Smith to fresh natural oysters with white balsamic mignonette.

Handmade pasta is a highlight, with conchiglie in vodka sauce and parmesan coating the palate, while semolina cake with limoncello, coconut, and pistachio provides a sweet conclusion to the Clarence experience.

Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, this vibrant eatery provides the perfect setting to enjoy flavours from around the world's southern seas.
