Izakai Bar & Eatery
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
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.
