Being local we’ve tried most restaurants in Whakatane over the years and Detour (of recent) is hands down our favourite local. The new owners have brought an amazing fresh menu with great consistency across the entire menu. We dine here frequently with friends, family and...staff and are never let down. Make sure to bring an appetite as the portions are generous. Our town has been crying out for a hearty steak meal for years and finally Detour delivers some of the best we’ve ever had, and cooked to perfection. For big group occasions, the platters are out of this world! The Detour staff are always friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend Detour 10/10.More
