Courtyard Casual Gluten free friendly

Part of the lively Eat Streat precinct that has formed a brilliant dining scene in Rotorua, Atticus Finch was made with customer experience at the forefront of its existence. Aiming to wow you with their food, the team at this restaurant also encourage you to dally a while, order another drink, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere of this special pedestrian street. Make the most of their geothermal warmed outdoor courtyard (only in Rotorua!) and settle in with some spice-rubbed lamb, chargrilled chicken, buttery garlic prawns or smoked fish and leek cakes.

With a menu designed to share, it pays to come here with a friendly group who won’t mind you digging your fork into a dish on their side of the table. With seasonal cocktails, craft beers and local wine by the glass, Atticus Finch celebrates the joy of eating and drinking together with pals.
