In a historic cottage 2km from central Tairua, the TBC combines a rustic Kiwiana vibe with a focus on sustainable produce and ingredients from the Coromandel. Secure a spot with harbour views under the market umbrellas and enjoy seasonal dishes like sumac-seared scallops or flounder with tarragon and a shellfish mousse. The well-considered wine and beer list is equally interesting.
