Hood Street Bistro

Open for breakfast and midday indulgence, Hood Street Bistro has long been a Waikato staple. Previously known as Momento City Café, the venue has been reimagined with a fresh concept and a brand-new vibe.

An urban day spot with a wholesome family feel, the bistro offers welcome respite with its lean, clean interior. Painted in soothing shades of grey and cream, it balances a calm, collected aesthetic with the lively hum of diners streaming in for brighter breakfasts to start the day.

The menu makes a strong case for a feast. Breakfast ranges from a classic fry-up to steak and eggs, eggs benedict, crêpes and French toast. Lunch is equally hearty, with plates such as quesadillas, fried chicken and peri-peri chicken. Burgers bring it home in true Southern style, from an Alabama burger with Southern-style fried chicken to a double-beef patty stacked with all the trimmings.

Generous and homemade, Hood Street Bistro’s food is crafted with the whole family in mind, delivering exactly what Waikato locals love.
