When Channel Magazine took a stroll around Takapuna one lunchtime in October, we found plenty of people either getting their tastebuds ready or testing the Tastes of Takapuna in a number of the restaurants taking part in the TBBA’s annual invitation to the Shore to try out Takapuna’s great food and hospitality. Birthdays, work leaving lunches, entertaining offshore guests, or just trying out a new or previously untried Takapuna eatery – any excuse was a good excuse to get together with friends, work colleagues or family. The Taste of Takapuna showcases cafes and restaurants throughout October with special deals, offers and temptations. Try a new dining out spot this month!
