Sabroso, Rotorua - Menu, Prices & Restaurant Reviews

We have searched far and wide for an incredible dining experience. Sabroso ticked all the boxes. Amazing food, attentive service, great atmosphere, and oh my goodness.... the Margaritas. We left with 5 bottles of their homemade hot sauce to boot! The best dining experience we...could have hoped for. Never will we pass through Rotorua without dining at Sabroso. Love this spot!! ❤More

Perfectly amazing!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Hands down the most fresh, delicious, gorgeous meal we’ve had for ages… every dish was perfect. Service was so good - super friendly and helpful with choices. The green sauce with the avocado dip ah-mazing!!!!

Love, love, love

We are regulars because this place never fails to please. We love the marinated (cooked) fish ESCABECHE DE PESCADO that comes in a jar with olives, onions and all sorts of delicious bits, served with warm and amazing corn chips. Also the calamari tacos TACOS...CALAMARES. It is all very fresh and made from scratch, great flavours but not too heavy. Desserts and drinks are top-notch also. The service is authentic, warm and attentive. Book because it is busy, especially on the weekend.More

Excellent

Excellent. So pleased we found this place (recommend booking a table as its a small place). Great tasting fresh food (quite large portions), amazing service. Can't fault Sabroso. Will be back next time we are in Rotorua. Love that green chilli sauce!
