We could not try many in our time in the area but were impressed with the Gisborne restaurants and cafes reviewed below. We found the owner, Tony very chatty, and interesting, giving us some history and providing us with a book to look at while we waited for our very delicious lunch of creamy abalone soup and fresh home made bread. Accompanied by a Viognier wine from their own Goldvines Estate. 
We had planned to get back for the wine tasting session between 3-5 p.m. but didn’t make it. We’ll save that for another day. They also served excellent coffee.The Wharf – Coffee fanatics we tried the Wharf, and returned twice more. We enjoying sitting overlooking the boats in the harbour as we sipped on the most excellent coffee you could expect anywhere. The meals wafting past looked very good........and colleagues from our Conference who had eaten there one night were very impressed with their meals.
The buffet meal was excellent with a selection of salads, hot and cold meat and vegetables, breads etc Desserts were served at the table with three choices - sticky date pudding, fresh fruit brandy basket and a cheese cake followed by coffee. The service was all one could ask for.It was a most enjoyable meal. We did have a longer wait than usual the second night we ate here and they gave us a free dessert for our patience.Oatmeal caramel pie and apple strudel were both very good........the portions huge! We joined the crowds to watch the rugby on the big screen. More popular Gisborne restaurants recommended in the "Cuisine Wine Country Magazine" are :

The Works Cafe– is located in an historic brick building........all that remains of the old freezing works located at the Port. Unfortunately this was demolished to make way for more wharf area.With a roaring fire, on a cold winter’s day the restaurant has a friendly appeal.
