From the moment you enter the restaurant there's magic dust being thrown around. The staff have a warmth about them that clearly comes from their confidence in the superb food that's being created. A well appointed but not over the top fitout provides a perfect environment for the food brilliance to follow. A flavour packed menu coupled with a truly top class wine list. These guys are well and truly on top of their game. I choose the pork belly and prawn dish which was truly delicious. Perfect flavour and texture. For dessert I went all in on the panacota, and I berries and liquorice ice cream and boy was i pleased. I have a good resume of eating at top end restaurants around the world and I can say these guys are competing at that level. One hat a bucket load of satisfyied tastebuds. If you're in region, get around there guys and support them. They well and truly deserve it. Hello Paul,Super glad to hear you had such a cracking time at Malo! We are even happier to hear you loved pretty much everything on the menu. We hope to see you back again.Kind regards, Malo team

Our Nth visit to Deliciosa and itâs still in our top 3 places to visit in Hawkes Bay.Food is always amazing and the portions very generous.The service was both friendly and fast. We always choose to sit on the covered and heated terrace, which has a lovely feel.We donât usually order desert and we were very pleasantly surprised. We love how the menu is a mixture of gorgeous old classics and delightful new surprises.The wine selection is always excellent too, (especially the Rioja).

Four of us went here early on a Saturday evening and the place was already quite busy. However the staff were were cheerful and made us fell very welcome. The menu had a good range of food - one of those places where you have trouble choosing a meal becasue there any several equally temting options. What we did choose was delicious and well-cooked - raning from pork belly to duck presse. I would go back there in a heartbeat for delicious food that is more interesting than what you would normally cook at home but not so avant garde that you don't relax and just enjoy the food.

Dinner in the cellar for 16 as part of a surprise 50th. Excellence from the moment Majda and Lisa greeted us with Champagne, then down into the cellar for tucker. If there is a better dinner venue than this in NZ, I will go he!!!! Absolutely stunning. Amazing vista. Awesome wines. Magnificent food - definitely not minimalist art on a plate that is so de rigueur in many fine dining restaurants these days. Potato bread with camembert butter - we could've eaten 100 loaves. Followed by venison tartar and haloumi entrees - lamb and flounder mains - finished off by a rhubarb yumminess dessert. You should've seen the marinated garden veggies that accompanied the mains!!!! Knock me down with a feather - this place is world class. The culture is amazing as is everything they do. We are heading back soon for She Who Must Be Obeyed's work Xmas do. This is a must for all travellers in the Bay and should be a regular treat for locals. Can't wait to go back.How wonderful! So glad you enjoyed your time with us. With regard to your title, we have in fact achieved 2 hats which is the closest NZ equivalent to the Michelin star rating, which we are thrilled with but we'll take a Michelin star from you.Fantastic you are coming back and we look forward to seeing you soon!Kind Regards, The Team at Craggy Range

We had a lovely dinner here. The menu has a good range to suit all preferences. Staff were good, and the service was not rushed. Most of the meals were very enjoyable, the highlights were the red meat dishes, lamb, beef and venison. The fish was average, the pumpkin dumplings were dry. The truffles for dessert are a fab option!

We visited Mangapapa restaurant for their Five course dinner menu. The actual is a nine coarse dinner which is world class dining. The Chilian Executive chef provides nine coarses of absolutely fantastic food. Taste, freshness and presentation using many local supplied foods makes for a excellent 5 star dining.Dear Bob L, Wow! Thank you so much! Your review made our team chuckle, yes the five course dinner does seem to turn into a 9 course with all the extras that Chef likes to create. That's the beauty of creating the menus new everyday, its gives our kitchen team flexibility with their creativity and the guests often benefit from a few extra dishes ;) So glad you enjoyed it, it means a lot to Chef and her team to be recognised as world class. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon. Kind regards,The Mangapapa Team

We arrived on Sunday for lunch. The atmosphere was relaxed and the scenery was beautiful, the view of the vineyard and the ocean in the background was exquisite. The food was something else. Not only did it look incredible it also tasted incredible. Highly recommended the food. The host at the cellar door was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We purchased the Elephant Hill Syrah 2017 - smooth light red wine, fantastic drop. We enjoyed this restaurant so much we went back on the Thursday night. The only reason Iâm rating a 4 and not a 5 is because the wait staff forgot our sides with our main both times. Highly recommended, if you go to Hawkeâs Bay itâs a must visit.
