Pablo

In the heart of Papamoa Beach, Pablo brings a Latin pulse to Tauranga. It is made for lively evenings, pairing South American flair with a warm, come-as-you-are spirit where wood-fired aromas mingle with a welcoming atmosphere.

The kitchen leans into bright, coastal flavours and slow-fire comfort. Handmade meat empanadas arrive golden and flaky, while tuna ceviche offers a fresh taste with subtle sweetness and heat. For something richer, octopus and chorizo sit over kumara mash with honey glaze cream, while black risotto delivers savoury depth in squid ink and leek oil.

From the grill, picanha steak comes dressed in chimichurri and served with potatoes and grilled vegetables. Truffle Parmesan fries add a moreish hit for snackers, alongside locally made sourdough and seasonal charred greens for the table.

To finish, enjoy a silken flan with dulce de leche and cream, or an apple and berries crumble tart topped with caramel ice cream.

Whether gathering friends or enjoying a date night, Pablo dishes up sunshine, spice and easy-going hospitality in equal measure. Book a table, soak up the vibrant energy, and let the good times tango!
