The Phoenix Shopping Centre at the Mount provides a complete eating-out experience with cafes, bars, restaurants, take-away food and ice creameries and a wide range of ethnic eating establishments, from sushi to Turkish to go. If you prefer simpler dining-out pleasures, you'll enjoy eating fish and chips or a burger on the banks of the Tauranga Harbour or on the main beach, both just a short stroll away from the Mount Maunganui shopping centre.
New Zealand-style cuisine features lamb, pork and venison; salmon, crayfish, Bluff oysters, paua, mussels and scallops, kumara, kiwifruit and tamarillo. For desert, delicacies such as Pavlova - our national dessert made from meringue and lashings of fresh whipped cream topped with fresh kiwi fruit or berries - are irresistible.
