Ever-changing fluorescent lighting and activity from hungry wanderers make this bustling inner-city food alley a go-to spot for locals and tourists alike. With fourteen different eateries and bars to choose from, come here with plenty of time to wander your way from place to place. From burgers to beers, pizzas to pinot gris, Eat Streat is a haven for evening time eating and drinking, and if you’re wondering where everyone is on a Saturday night, this spot is your best guess.

As the sun goes down, the fluorescent lighting takes over at Eat Streat, making it impossible to miss. Thanks to the thermally heated footpath, this contemporary pedestrian street is an excellent place to hang out, and even if you’re not in the mood for food, it pays to visit one of Rotorua’s proudest tourist attractions.
