Our verdict

Maori and Japanese hospitality, culture and tradition meet in this contemporary twist on both cuisines at the Mount. This ‘izakaya’ (stay-drink-place) delivers some tasty and interesting food in a tight, well-considered menu. From parāoa bread, gyoza and ramen noodles to start, to a selection of intriguing mains from the kaiwhenua (land), kaimoana (sea) and kaimara (garden), there’s plenty to choose from.

Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
