The Waterfront by Toad Hall is a beachfront restaurant and casual dining spot at 1 Kaiteriteri-Sandy Bay Road, Kaiteriteri, in the Tasman region. It brings the Toad Hall name, known for its garden-to-table approach, to the beach. The menu includes free-range eggs on Toad sourdough, triple-stacked pancakes, smashed avocado, beer-battered gurnard with chips, seafood chowder with mussels and garlic prawns, tacos, chargrilled sirloin, and burgers including karaage chicken and a black bean and chickpea patty. Cold beers and cocktails on tap are served.
There are no reservations. Guests walk in and find a table, or order from the beach using a button on the website, and are notified when the order is ready. The website says the ingredients are free range, fresh and locally sourced, and that the salad comes from the restaurant's own market garden. Our pick at Kaiteriteri for a beachfront lunch with a cold beer.
