Little Honey

Little Honey presents a casual and lively dining atmosphere, designed as an extension of home where friends and staff can play. It pairs a serious approach to its food and coffee with a laid-back style of service, combining a modern cafe feel by day with an innovative share plate concept by night. The venue, situated across from Hamilton's new theatre, encourages diners to pop in for anything from a craft beer or coffee to a full meal, with the relaxed vibe complemented by its accessible location and local ethos.

Little Honey's evening menu is designed to be a sharing experience, perfect for enjoying with those you love. Fresh, seasonal produce is the order of the day, with small plates taking centre stage. Try their oysters with frozen champagne yuzu foam, or crispy fried squid with lemongrass chilli. Vegetarians are spoilt for choice, with intricately composed dishes like the grilled cauliflower with almond cauli whip and fried Jerusalem artichokes.

Carnivores will be well catered for too, with delights like the beef short rib cooked via robata grilling. The venue's close ties with small, reputable suppliers in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty ensure all produce is sourced close to home. This promotes not only great seasonal variation but a smaller carbon footprint, too. Sweeten the end of your meal with the ode to olive oil dessert, or the lemongrass ginger mousse with lychee gel.
