We offer a delicious tapas dining experience in Hamilton – perfect for casual meals, special occasions, and afternoon drinks right next to the Waikato River.
Tapas
Our tapas are plates designed to share, order a selection of them for the table and enjoy the variety.
The bigger your group, the more flavours you will be able to sample. Food is best enjoyed freshly made, so our dishes are brought to your table as they are being prepared, some are fast and some take a little longer. Don’t miss out on our delicious desserts and cheese selection. If you are feeling adventurous, try a chef’s selection! Your server will be happy to help.
Venue
Gothenburg is located on the lower floor of the ANZ Centre on 17 Grantham Street.
Our stunning dining room has an airy feel with floor to ceiling windows and an amazing view of the Waikato River banks. Our outdoor terrace is a calm spot in the centre of the city where you can enjoy tapas or a drink on a sunny day.
Gothenburg is just as suited for casual meals as special occasions, after work drinks or a coffee on the terrace, so come and enjoy our beautiful location by the river.
Location
Our restaurant is situated right in the middle of central Hamilton, but tucked away in a very quiet spot by the river.
We are a popular destination for riders on the Te Awa River Trail and a nice stop on the way for visitors to the Hamilton Gardens. We are located right next to the Hamilton Museum and soon not far from the new Waikato Regional Theatre which is due to open in 2025. We are very proud to take part in what Hamilton offers to locals and visitors to the Waikato region.

Recommend Gothernberg to all our friendspascale_delos14 September 2024Delicious early dinner @ Gothenburg This restaurant is open all day, offering a different menu according to the eating time. It thrives on small portions, that a pair or a group of people can share.. but I enjoyed 2 different tapas myself, in addition to a dessert. Presentation was spotless.. and pretty. Dishes were very tasty though not overwhelming with flavours, just the perfect blending. Combined with a Man o’ War Pinot Gris, my early dinner, before a movie, was pure joy! NB. Lots of staff, which means efficient, professional and friendly service.Vweego_football1238 September 2024Best food in the world As soon as I was seated by a very nice staff member,I had a look at the menu and was impressed at how awesome the food seemed, and just as I had told my family that I wanted to try the seafood spaghetti, I put the menu down and looked up at this stunning venue, there was an amazing view overlooking the Waikato river, some well selected pictures on the walls and everything looked so perfect. When our food came to the table, all of the dishes looked so good, I didn’t know where to start, but once I did, I was blown away! It tasted fantastic. Some of it was the tastiest stuff I’d ever tried!KerryW-NZ6 September 2024Amazing every time This is our favourite Hamilton Restaurant. We love their tapas and quality of service.

A bit of judicious tree pruning to open up the view to the river would make venue even better
