Pacific restaurants in New Zealand

  1. A

    Kamakura

    The flashest option in Russell by a long way, this restaurant has a breezy beach-house feel. The Pacific Rim menu gainfully plunders Asian and French styles to produce beautifully presented, delicious meals. In summer it hosts a monthly artisan market (www.artisanmarket.co.nz).

  2. B

    Iguacu

    This always-popular multilevel bar and restaurant complex offers smart, casual dining. A European and Pacific-Rim menu is meat heavy, with a smattering of seafood. The relaxed, potted-palm atrium-like atmosphere heats up on Sunday after 12:00 with live blues and jazz.

    Molten

    Under the volcano’s shadow, Molten oozes neighbourhood charm. The consistently excellent seasonal menu fuses Pacific Rim tastes into a delicious whole.
