Voted Lonely Planet's No 1 cafe pick for the Central North Island and one of the top 10 places to visit in New Zealand. L’Art'e Cafe and Gallery is not to be missed when visiting Taupo.  Allow yourself time to experience something very unique and special!  A trip to L’Art'e is a visual and edible feast and unlike anything you have experienced before. The cafe and gallery are both set in a magical garden complete with an outside mosaic living room.  The food and art at L’Arte’s unique destination are both exquisite. Resident ceramic artist Judi Brennan’s work is evident everywhere and is sold exclusively from L’Arte’s Gallery.  

L’Arte Cafe serves AllPress coffee, has a wonderful selection of New Zealand wines and beers and the excellent service exceeds all expectations. With New Zealand's finest produce L’Arte’s kitchen team produce everything fresh on site, from homemade bread to homemade pesto and onion jam.  We have also created a small deli so you can take some of L’Art'e home with you.

L’Art'e Cafe, Gallery and Garden is a special holiday experience that will stay with you ………
