Wow, just …..wow. We are from Wellington and thought we would pop up to Palmerston North to see our son on a course. We had numerous recommendations for this place let’s give it a go. From the awesome conversation we had with the reservation person to the wonderful welcome and staff. The night was such a success. Actually worth the 3 hr round trip from Wellington. Ohhhhh the food…. Well I love to say the pasta was loved, the gluten free burger was one of the best my wife has ever had and the meet tray my son and I shared was almost too big….almost, but if i did say all that then maybe next time I went there it would be too busy and we would miss out. If you like good atmosphere, customer service and amazing food, go to Little Savanna.

HARU is set inconspicuously on Broadway, with barely a storefront or sign - however, don't let first looks deceive. This Japanese eatery's modern interior and extensive menu is great for a night out, and their small plates are excellent for sharing with friends. I got the Vegetarian Platter (pictured here), and was impressed by the variety and flavours - the mushroom skewers were a standout. There's plenty for meat-eaters and non-meat eaters alike, and many of their dishes are gluten-free by nature. Reservations are recommended, as by 7pm on a Wednesday night all tables were taken. We will definitely be returning soon!

Went out for a drive to get some space and a change of scenery … We ended up at Mad Toms … We walked in and didn’t quite know what to expect but the gorgeous lass behind the bar made us feel at ease and very welcome … I have coeliac’s and it’s not something small towns cater for but the lass behind the bar worked to find a solution … Kitchen staff worked hard to make conditions to do my meal in safer … The food was presented very elegantly and tasted just as good as it looked A+ … THANK YOU so very much … See you again very soon … Sue and Wendi.
