P O W H I R I | I N T R O D U C T I O N
To be welcomed, invitation.
A Powhiri is a tapu (sacred) process, when the manuhiri (visitors) are welcomed you must treat them with the utmost care.
Three important things that make up a Powhiri: Welcoming, Story telling and most importantly: food or the Hakari (feast).
This lifts the spirit that is on the manuhiri so they can leave safe, happy and satisfied.
We invite you, the manuhiri, to come dine and enjoy what we have to offer.
K A I M O A N A | S E A F O O D
An integral part of New Zealand cuisine as an island nation.
Màori have a deep respect for the Moana (ocean), it is a vital part of their diet.
Màori paid respect to Tangaroa (god of the sea) through giving their first catch back to him as a gift.
P A P A T Ù À N U K U | L A N D
In Màori tradition, Papatùànuku is the land. She is Mother Earth.
She gave birth to the gods and is mother of all living
things. When we pass, we go back and in turn nourish her (circle of life).
This section of the menu pays homage to her land.
R A N G I N U I | S K Y
Ranginui (Sky Father) and Papatùànuku (Mother Earth) were inseparable.
The primal couple gave birth to several gods who pushed apart the earth and sky to let the light reach the land.
Dessert is the celebration of the heavens.
