Jais Aben Bar & Bistro is a bar and bistro at 85 The Strand, Tauranga, in a harbour-side setting. The name comes from a language spoken near Madang in Papua New Guinea and means "safe harbour or resting place", which its website notes is also the meaning of Tauranga.
The menu is European in style and built around named suppliers: certified organic produce from BND Farms in Waihi, seafood from Solander Seafood in Nelson and Moana Fisheries, and free-range New Zealand chicken and pork and grass-fed beef and lamb. Bookings are taken online or by phone on 07 571 1755, and gift cards are available.
Opening hours, capacity and function options are not published on the site, so groups should enquire directly. Its waterfront location on The Strand makes it a convenient choice for dinners in central Tauranga.
