I researched restaurants in Hanmer on Trip Advisor prior to booking and this restaurant turned back the best results by far. So I had to see if the reviews and accompanying pictures met expectations and boy did they exceed! Not only was the food full of delicately and thoughtfully blended combinations but it was art on a plate. My partner said it was the best dining experience of her life. A true Goldmine of restaurants.

Absolutely delicious dumplings. One of the best meals I’ve ever had and so cheap!. The chef came round the tables and clearly he’s thought long and hard about dumplings plus he has an amazing varied foodie background. Service was fantastic too. The kids’ meals came out very quickly and they have three different types of spa water on tap. We will come back next time we are in Hanmer Springs. Highly recommended. Book ahead!

Get the dessert! Such a creative concept and very well executed in a cozy location. The main course featured gourmet perogies and a delicious pickled salad. The desert was truly one of the great culinary experiences I’ve had. The chef/owner was extremely friendly and explained each creative dish. So glad we made the stop while in Hanmer Springs and the price was very good for the quality. If you want a unique NZ dining experience, check out MK!
