ABOUT
According to Greek mythology, Arcadia is an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness; a paradise home to bountiful
natural splendour and simple pleasures.
We think this sums up Waiheke Island’s Palm Beach, and the way we run our restaurant, perfectly. We believe it is the simple pleasures in life that bring us the most joy: catching up with friends and family over a few drinks, eating simple food made from great produce, spending the day at the beach and then walking across
the road for a good meal and cold beer.
Our menu is not fussy; we believe in using fresh, quality ingredients to create good, honest food. Our service style is laidback and friendly and staff are encouraged to get to know our customers. We want every walk of life to feel welcome at Arcadia, and leave feeling good!
We are here for breakfast, lunch and dinner or a snack, for coffee, cocktails or a glass of bubbles. You can set yourself up for the afternoon in the front courtyard, watching the beach foot traffic go by; cosy up inside for a romantic dinner for two; or get a group together and make the most of our covered deck and
beer garden areas out the back.
Location and How to Get Here
You will find Arcadia at 39 Palm Road, just across the road from the beautiful Palm Beach – Waiheke locals’ favourite beach. Palm Beach is just a 10-minute
drive from the ferry at Matiatia,
or hop on the 502 bus, which will
drop you out the front.
If you want to know more about Palm Beach and other options for getting here, e.g. bike, scooter or walking, check out our Palm Beach page.
At Arcadia we offer breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between. We like to keep things simple and focus on using fresh, quality produce to create delicious meals. Our chefs love to experiment and you find daily changing specials.
We have a wide selection of beverages for you to enjoy including beer on tap, a great cocktail list and a wide gin selection.
