Handsome Frog Gourmet Foods

In Whangārei, Northland, Handsome Frog Gourmet Foods champions wholesome, healthy eating with a proudly local backbone.

A collaborative crew with many strings to their bow channels skill into flavour, turning Northland's pantry into food that feels both grounded and generous.

The kitchen ranges confidently from smoked meats to vibrant vegetarian and vegan cooking, with sourdough breads, pies, pizzas, and a little mischief in the form of "stuff in a bun".

The menu invites mixing and matching, led by craft rather than fuss, and always anchored in good ingredients. Pizza lovers will appreciate the Neapolitan tilt - a clean, tomato-bright margherita or an earthy funghi, with jalapeño or olives to nudge the heat and savour. Balance plates with a visit to the salad bar and finish with something sweet.

Keep refreshed with canned drinks or Kama beverages, while coffee remains an essential part of the ritual.

Relaxed, flavour-first, and decidedly local, Handsome Frog welcomes the weekday regular and the slow-weekend wanderer. It is a place where friends gather, noses lead the way, and settling in for honest fare done well feels entirely natural!
