Three Seven Two

Making the trip to Waiheke Island is well worth it for a visit to Three Seven Two, a cherished local spot that impresses with both its menu and service. The kūmara sourdough with brown butter and Waiwaia Olive Oil and the chef's snacks are enough to draw you in. However, take your time to explore the full menu crafted by talented chef Bronwen Laight. Standout dishes include creamed pāua, pork belly and fry bread, and roasted spiced cauliflower with black rice, dates, cashew and cardamom sauce spiked with green apple and chilli sambal. For dessert you shouldn't go past the lemon and blackcurrant meringue pie, but if you did, it would be to explore the genius spiced kūmara custard with rum and raisin ice cream and an oatmeal biscuit. With its inviting beach location, sprawling open spaces that include indoor and outdoor options and its stunning flavours, Three Seven Two offers a delightful escape right across from Onetangi Beach.
