Popular cafe and pizzeria just minutes from Rotorua town center. All dough baked fresh on site. Very popular with locals, always busy, great ambience and super service. Mediterranean themed food.

Bon Appetit Cafe & Pizzeria is a bit of an institution in Rotorua. Situated out on Old Taupo Road in the west of the city, diners can look forward to Mediterranean-themed delights such as plenty of pizzas, fresh salads, some very sinful pasta dishes, and a famous breakfast/brunch. The savoury selection is extensive, including quiches, tarts and flans. Sweet lovers will love the cream and jam doughnuts, eclairs and muffins.

A lovely rustic, no-fuss interior adds to the local atmosphere, with live music some nights (check when booking) and a real community feel. Try a home-cooked bacon & mushroom risotto, or a shrimp & smoked salmon pizza. Calzones are new to the menu, and have become an instant hit. The restaurants does a great takeaway service, and caters for most dietary requirements including gluten-free, vegetarian and nut allergies.

Dine indoors in the bustling cafe area, or outside in the pretty courtyard.
