We have a top new restaurant in Whangarei...
Congratulations to Local Talent Taverna which has been named New Zealand's Most Loved New Business in Stuff's Love Your Local Awards. The Cameron St eatery has a Greek- and Mediterranean-inspired menu, and relied on word-of-mouth from locals to get the message out about the new business.
The awards were judged by celebrity chef Peter Gordon, Eat New Zealand CEO Angela Clifford and Stuff food editor Emily Brookes.
Have you been to Local Talent Taverna?
Are there any other new businesses in Northland you think should be recognised?


12 months, zero fees*
Relax, we’ve got it covered, enjoy a year of free fees*
At Ryman you won’t pay your base weekly fee for a whole year* when you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village before 30 June 2025.
That means that you won’t pay rates, water rates, building insurance, maintenance fees and more. That’s great financial certainty.
*Participating villages only, Ts and Cs apply
