Fodor's Review:

The eclectic but homey decor attracts young, old, and everyone in between. Settle in among fish tanks, lots of oak, and a few lounges for a cheap and cheerful meal. On the psychedelic blackboard menu that lights up the place like a rainbow, look for lasagna, Thai curry, or bar favorites such as nachos.

Fun for All

Posted by Kentana from Mobile, Alabama, U.S.A. on 11/22/06
We spent several enjoyable hours in the Fat Dog while in Rotorua. The food was quite exceptional as was the service. I highly recommend this wonderfully eclectic eatery/pub. The poetry adorning the walls, and just about everything else, was fun. Anyone visiting the area should not miss a sampling of the local beers, wines and cuisine as offered at the Fat Dog. Cheers, Ken
