Our verdict
This unassuming gem tucked away in a residential area is a well-kept secret among those in the know. The kitchen helmed by chef Ricardo Le Roux sources high-quality ingredients from the South Island, such as D'Urville Island pāua abalone, Southern king crab and Lumina lamb, to create distinctive fusion dishes. Pāua croquette served with raw sweet chilli, a basil emulsion and fennel are out of this world. First-timers should order the ‘Trust the Chef’ menu.
