Whenever someone asks me to recommend a restaurant in Palmerston North I suggest Nero's. It's got a good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and the chefs do a fantastic job, consistently. I go quite often and I've always had a great experience there. The portions are well sized and it's moderately priced. I went this evening in a group of four. One of the group started with scallops, done to perfection, and three of us shared a tureen of duck liver pate with gluten-free toast drizzled with olive oil. Yum! You'll have to go yourself to see how good the mains are.
