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 is an open invitation to indulge. Breakfast is generous and all-day worthy, spanning everything from eggs your way and smashed avocado to steak and eggs, French toast, crêpes, waffles and a full Kiwi big breakfast. As the day rolls on, the kitchen delivers comfort-driven plates like southern fried chicken, tacos, pasta, fish and chips, and vibrant salads. Burgers take centre stage, from Korean fried chicken and classic chicken burgers to a fully stacked double-decker beef, making this a go-to spot for hearty, crowd-pleasing fare.

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