If you are planning a celebration, the only place to go is Malo. I had my birthday dinner here recently and from the moment I arrived the service was impeccable. My pork main was delicious and beautifully presented and my affogato dessert had a very special addition, thank you everyone for making my night such a special occasion

We came here for a last minute family celebration. There were going to be 9 of us so I booked. They were very helpful on the phone and told me they could put us in their covered courtyard with heaters on.
We turned up and the covered courtyard was a bright and cosy, fully-enclosed space with blankets on the backs of the chairs, as well as the promised heaters. Service was attentive and friendly, they were very accommodating, and the food was sensational. Everyone liked everything they had, from cocktails to desserts. Even the kids’ fish and chips was impressive. We will definitely be back.

Planned a birthday catch up for a special out of town friend and casually mentioned this in the booking. Our friend was looked after on arriving with firstly ‘Happy Birthday Lorraine’. Then followed a personalised Chardonnay tasting just for her. A desert arrived with the chocolate happy birthday message on her plate. Such a lovely night and Two Tractors was the Chardonnay chosen. Thank you team Malo. We’ll be back.
That sounds like a delightful birthday celebration! It's great to hear that the team went above and beyond to make Lorraine's birthday special. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Malo for more memorable moments!
Industrial looking interior. Adjacent to a boutique hotel (don't know what was so "boutique" about it) in Havelock North. Was looking for a basic lunch. But there was little basic on the menu. Whenever I come across something that I wouldn't call mainstream, I use the word "kinky." And that's how I would describe the food. Not bad, but not fulfilling either. And limited options. Service was fine. Would not return.
