Charlottes Kitchen
Charlotte’s Kitchen, established in 2015 brings a fresh approach to dining in the Bay of Islands – with the best location and killer view right at the end of the wharf in Paihia she can’t be missed if you are visiting these parts. Our locals love it.
Charlotte’s Kitchen features a range of exciting menu options - from our larger sharing plates which feature our signature free range pork knuckle (best to pre order one of these) to our smaller plates if you are not so hungry. Plus we have a pizza selection hand crafted with the same love that Charlotte felt for all her conquests!

Monkey Business
Monkey Business in Paihia is all about good vibes and great food in a relaxed, tropical tiki-style setting. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a playful twist — from hearty big breakfasts and cheeky chicken waffles to fresh seafood dishes, tasty platters, and crowd favourites from the grill. We also offer great coffee, cocktails, local beers, and plenty of options for both families and groups looking to enjoy a fun and welcoming spot.
We like to think of ourselves as more than just a restaurant — a place where locals and visitors can come together, enjoy good company, and soak up the atmosphere.

Great spot - a few minutes out of town in Haruru but a cool spot to sample some brews in the sun.
