Confit Salmon with Honey-Dressed Roe
A beautiful dish about balance and purity. The richness of the confit salmon is offset by the bite of the fregola, the citrus of the finger lime and the aromatic lift of the kawakawa oil. The honey dressed roe brings the perfect touch of sweetness and salinity to pull everything together.
FLAMBÉED BOMBE ALASKA
A stunning dessert that tempts your tastebuds by combing the unique flavours of the whisky-infused Mānuka Honey with toasted hazelnut, espresso and a bitter-sweet meringue before a tableside flambé.
SMOKED EEL WITH WHISKY-INFUSED HONEY LACQUER
An elegant main, created with a deep respect for the ocean, wildness and tradition. Stefania gently smokes the eel over Mānuka wood before combining native horopito, black garlic, samphire, sesame and whisky-infused Mānuka Honey reduced into a glossy, smoky haze.
