About Kallista kitchen & bar
Kallista Kitchen & Bar is a dining venue at 701 Port Road in the heart of Whangamata’s restaurant strip, offering a menu of modern New Zealand cuisine in a relaxed setting.
We are open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, making us the perfect spot for a leisurely holiday meal or a reliable local favourite. Find ample parking along Port Road or in the nearby public car parks. For larger groups or during peak summer periods, we highly recommend booking ahead to secure your table.
What truly sets Kallista apart is our commitment to showcasing the incredible local produce of the Coromandel Peninsula. Our menu is a celebration of the region, featuring the freshest seafood landed just down the road, artisan cheeses from nearby farms, and seasonal ingredients that speak for themselves. Paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of local wines and craft beers, every dish tells a story of our stunning coastal location.
