“Nice venue on the waterfront”

Glasshouse Kitchen & Bar
Ranked #16 of 56 Restaurants in Paihia
Price range: ₱663 - ₱1,988
Description: Our autumn list makes use of legumes, pulses, light broths and warming sauces as we head into the cooler months. We believe in fresh, free range happy produce with punchy flavour profiles offered in a low key sharing style format.

Not our first visit here we were surprised by the all but empty restaurant leaving the ambiance lacking. The menu selections and service were not up to previous years that said the venue is lovely.

We really enjoyed our meal to celebrate my birthday. We live in Paihia and this was first time we had gone to this restaurant. The lamb dish I had was so tender and the creme brulee delicious. My husband had the king salmon followed by tirimasu. We were both very impressed and look forward to returning. The restaurant has a small, intimate feel, but is also very open and bright, with beautiful views to the ocean. Our service was slow - but we were warned in advance that only one chef was on. Having that effective communication made all the difference between being disappointed and wondering where I food was, and being completely happy with a little extra time waiting as we knew the reason why and understood. Definitely recommend and can't wait to go back.

We appreciate your understanding regarding the service delay; we always aim to communicate effectively with our guests, and it’s great to hear that made your experience more enjoyable. Our intimate setting and ocean views are truly special, and we’re delighted you found them lovely.

We can’t wait to welcome you back for more memorable meals. Happy belated birthday once again!

We chose this place after checking the menu online. When we arrived we found a very limited menu. The waiter was good, but she explained their under new management, so have a reduced menu. Unfortunately they're charging the same high prices. We found options for family members but overall very disappointed.
