About Our
Restaurant
Rendasko is a restaurant and evening venue built around a simple belief: a good meal deserves time, care, and good company. Located on Cameron Road in Tauranga, we combine modern New Zealand cooking with a warm, sociable atmosphere that makes every evening feel like an occasion.
Our Concept
We set out to create a restaurant that feels both refined and relaxed — somewhere you can settle in for a shared dinner, celebrate something special, or simply enjoy an unhurried evening with friends. The dining room is at the centre of everything we do, with our wider evening offerings arranged around it rather than ahead of it.
We cook with seasonal ingredients and let quality produce lead the way. Our approach favours honest flavours, thoughtful preparation, and dishes designed to be enjoyed together. Menus change with the seasons so there is always something fresh to discover.
Social Dining
Rendasko is built for sharing. Our shared plates, generous mains, and welcoming room make it a natural choice for gatherings large and small. It is a restaurant that brings people together around the table.
Guests are welcome to visit Rendasko purely for the restaurant. You may come for dinner, for drinks, for the atmosphere, or for our live entertainment — and nothing more. There is never any expectation to visit the Casino Hall or take part in any casino-related entertainment. The choice is entirely yours.
