Surfside Bites & Brew is a restaurant at 23 Marine Parade South in Piha, Auckland, with a Google rating of 4.3 from 147 reviews. Customers often mention the beach views, the burgers and the fish and chips, and one reviewer felt the food was priced on the higher side.
Beachside restaurants are judged on their views, but the food has to hold up when the crowd is large and the weather changes. A short menu of burgers, fried fish and calamari is a good sign, since it shows the kitchen can focus on a few dishes and do them well. Outdoor seating fills quickly on fine weekends, so arriving before the lunch rush or later in the afternoon is often more relaxed. Prices tend to run higher at beaches, so recent reviews are worth reading for value before you go.
For a seaside bite after a surf or a walk at Piha, it is a well-reviewed stop on Marine Parade South.
