My wife and i unusually had the same meal this time. Rib eye fillet with a medley of vegetables side. Medium rare. This was one of the best steaks I have ever eaten and a perfect size for a good lunch. Topped with delicious vegetables and in a nice light sauce. The medley of vegetables came with a light coating a bit like dukkah and this was the nicest side of vegetables I have ever eaten. Vegetables are from the restaurant garden. Service was top notch. The only thing that lets st George down is the slightly confused decor but it's nice not awkward. We didn't have desert but the table next to us did and they look divine. I ended with a flat white and it was nice and strong. I will come back for sure and will pass a lot of other restaurants on the way to do so.

Terroir Restaurant

Reviewed By Ranipuss - Launceston, Australia

You expect this wine region to have wonderful winery-restaurants but this one takes it to a whole new level. The building itself is beautiful, and the the tuna dishes and the eye fillet were perfect - as were the desserts. This will now be added to our yearly visit list.

We booked a lunch here to follow a wine tasting. It was quite crowded as it was a Saturday. Blown away by the imaginative menu and quality of the food. Husband and I shared the scallops and pork cheeks and asked the waiter if we should order the duck fat potatoes or the agria fries. He recommended the fries and he was spot on. They were awesome! Service was good. Be aware that all Seating is outside so if it's a hot day, it can be a bit uncomfortable and if it's a rainy day, you might want to consider somewhere else. Otherwise, it's a great spot. Plenty of parking for the winery.

We stopped in here after visiting the beautiful Te Mata peak for some lunch. We sat outside and enjoyed the stunning view, the service was excellent and the food was really good! The menu has excellent choice, I had the vegetable fritters which were amazing. Our group also sampled the bacon and cheese burger and Caesar salad. Great portion sizes and all excellent. Coffees were also wonderful!

Stunning winery with modern architecture and great views over Cape Kidnappers. Lovely, enthusiastic staff and a great welcome. Food is creative, very fresh and lots of colourful vegetables - a beauty on the plate. The wines are also wonderful - great wine list but enjoy the Elephant Hill wines, they are great. Wonderful sunsets and as there is no light pollution, great starlight skies at night.

It is in the heart of the vineyard surrounded by vines and a table on the large generous veranda lets you look right out across the region.

There is an emphasis on freshly grown Hawkes Bay produce, the selection changes with the seasons. The bistro is available for private functions, evening and during the day, it is also the perfect venue for a very limited number of weddings, for bookings or enquiries please give us a call.

We visited Black Barn twice during our 5 day stay in Hawkes Bay - first for dinner. The food was outstanding, fresh and delicious combinations beautifully presented. We enjoyed 3 courses each and the entree and dessert were the best of our trip, with the main coming a close second. The second visit was for a wine tasting, the lady who served us was knowledgeable, bubbly and personable, and set the bar high for the rest of our cycle tour! Beautiful setting, would come back again to enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner under the vines.

Pipi Cafe

Pipi is all about you the customer we don’t mind if you come in your muddy gumboots or your Gucci stilettos, or if you drink Bollinger with your pizza or house red. We are very lucky in Hawkes Bay to be surrounded by wonderful produce and wine and our menu very much reflects this, where possible everything is local and organic. We don’t take ourselves too seriously but we do take what we do very seriously. Using the best freshest ingredients and cooking them to best bring out their natural flavours. Pipi was born out of my love of my children and food and now 15 years later this has not changed at all and is still at the heart of everything we do.

Reviewed By kolleyflower - Wallingford, United Kingdom

Had the pleasure of eating here several times. We loved everything. Pizzas are exceptional- thin crispy base with a heap of choices for toppings. fresh fig, bacon and blue cheese- amazing!! Gnocchi - beautifully soft and great texture. Perfectly cooked steak - with the best mash I’ve had in a long time. And the desserts- oh my!! Tiramisu to die for!! And the sticky date pudding! Make sure you leave room atleast to share something.
What makes this place unique is the vibe and style. Very informal and relaxed. If you are in a hurry consider placing your order before you arrive?? Otherwise have enough time to fully enjoy this cool dining experience!
Staff lovely and friendly too.

Starlake Thai

Reviewed By Antarisha - Hastings

Came with a group of work colleagues on a Wednesday night. Friendly service.
Everyone enjoyed their meal. I found the mushroom entre a little pricey for a few deep fried mushrooms.
Ginger vegetables were very nice though you pay additional for rice.
Owner engages with regulars very well. Obviously a favourite for many in the "village".

Visited here for a work function so got to try a variety of different dishes. We settled on the $45/person menu giving us 10 different dishes. The food was outstanding & the waitress really looked after us. Drinks are quite pricey here but after all, it IS an upmarket restaurant & quality is definitely guaranteed.

Hawthorne Coffee

Espresso bar and coffee roastery.

Reviewed By Grant N - Havelock North, New Zealand

Stopped for a coffee while wandering around the village. Quite busy but found an outside table. One of our party is a coffee aficionado and criticises all coffees - hard to please. However, he felt it was okay and the rest of us were quite happy with our choices. The place is small and they roast on the premises. We've seen that process and they certainly know what they're doing. The food is slightly more expensive than some other places but usually very good. Staff are friendly although can be a bit offhand when it's really busy (understandably). Overall worth a visit
