Inati
Inati means "to share" in Māori. British chef Levy and his wife Lisa opened this beautifully designed contemporary space in 2017, armed with the concept of reimagining European classics for sharing, to be made with the leading Canterbury and New Zealand produce. Signatures include their "Boeuf-nut" (a doughnut filled with braised beef cheek), and roast 14-day-aged duck coated in dukkah spice mix – a hit with its crispy skin, tender meat and exotic kick.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
