– Raewyn, 2026 | New ZealandWe recently enjoyed the Degustation Menu at Regent of Rotorua and had a wonderful dining experience. Each course was beautifully presented, thoughtfully prepared, and showcased excellent flavours and attention to detail. The menu offered a great variety of dishes, making the evening feel both special and memorable. Service was attentive and professional, and the overall experience reminded us why we keep returning. We will be sharing photos of the menu and dishes, as they were every bit as impressive visually as they were to eat. Highly recommended, and certainly worth returning for another visit in the future. I’m so glad I chose the Regent as the venue. I was able to have the perfect celebration, thanks to your input and superb management.
