Buzz Cafe Restaurant

Here's an eatery that'll have you buzzing! Hearty homemade meals that don't hold back, Buzz is all the rage in Lower Hutt.

They're not ones for blending into the crowd - you simply can't miss their bright yellow sign on the high street. If their bumble bee colour theme has tickled you pink, head on in where you'll find diners battling it out over a board game or just hanging out as non-competitive buds with a beer. Whatever the weather, you'll feel safe and cosy here, be that because of the old farmhouse vibes or just the exquisite atmosphere that is bound to put a smile on your face.

The menu is a thing of beauty and ticks all the right boxes. Small plates include buttermilk chicken bites, squid with slaw, paella balls and pork belly bites that make for an unbeatable sharing supper. But if you want a taste of Buzz's signature dishes you'll have to enjoy them as starters and then move on to the pork spare ribs, sirloin steak or mighty Buzz fried chicken tray that's just waiting to be dipped into slaw and gravy!

As well as that, they've got burgers and pastas to make sure everyone's fed and watered. And speaking of hydration, they're also masters of bubble tea! What a surprising but very welcome treat! If that's too tame for you, however, check out their NZ wine list or keep it groovy with a Tequila Sunrise. Seriously, whatever you've got in mind, Buzz is one step ahead of you.
