The Shack
Raglan's most popular surf-style brunch spot, named the best restaurant in town by a local guide.
Located at 19 Bow Street in the town centre, it has more than 600 TripAdvisor reviews and ranks first in Raglan. The Spinoff's 2026 local guide also named it the best restaurant in town, saying the food and service are consistently excellent. It serves breakfast, lunch, counter snacks and speciality coffee. The signature is chilli crunch rice, miso-fried brown rice with vegetables and peanut chilli crunch. There are also avocado toast, spiced chickpea zucchini fritters and local bagels, with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. It is open daily from 8:00 to 15:00, and weekends can bring long queues. Prices are mid-range.
