New Zealand's cuisine is a mixture of European, Asian and Polynesian. This wide ranging blend of influence is responsible for the mouth-watering range of flavours and food you?ll find here today.

Typical New Zealand dishes include: venison, pork, lamb, salmon, lobster, mussels, scallops, pipis and tuatua (types of shellfish); kumara (sweet potato); kiwifruit and tamarillo, and of course, pavlova - New Zealand's national desert.

A lot of vineyards in New Zealand have restaurants attached. They offer world class service using the best local seasonal produce. They're very popular with both tourists and locals alike. It's a perfect combination; you can sample first class New Zealand cuisine alongside award-winning New Zealand wines.

World-class chefs with extensive international experience, produce a wide range of local and international dishes. Fresh New Zealand produce is used for most of the dishes which include: seafood, lamb, venison and fruit like feijoas and tamarillo.
