Pāua lunch Remote cafe fuels pie mania in New Zealand
The Guardian|December 28, 2024
Celebrities rave about them, politicians have bulk-ordered them, local people queue and tourists drive hours for them. The pāua pie – a flaky creation filled with a seafood delicacy – is enticing crowds in New Zealand to a cafe on the isolated east coast of the North Island.

Pāua lunch Remote cafe fuels pie mania in New Zealand

The savoury pie may be one of the closest things New Zealand has to a national dish. From the basic mince pie found in corner stores and petrol stations to the more inventive gourmet pies offered in cafes and fine dining restaurants, wherever you go, there are pies.

But one pie, made at Cafe 35 on the shores of Tokomaru Bay, is standing out from the crowd.

The NZ$12 (£5) pie, a light pastry filled with minced pāua – a unique New Zealand variety of black foot abalone (an edible sea snail) – in a creamy spiced sauce has gained cult status, drawing customers to the sleepy beach community, nearly 60 miles up the coast from the nearest city, Gisborne.
