About us
Hallertau is one of Auckland’s most special dining experiences. Just 20 minutes from the city, this multi palette gourmet paradise sits amongst greenery and the quaint town of Riverhead.

The brewery and restaurant is the brainchild of self admitted ‘beer guru’ Stephen Plowman. In 2005, Plowman and his wife Hayley opened this family run, boutique operation with a desire to share their love of brewing and the basic principle of epicurean lifestyle with customers and friends alike.

Menu Chef, Adrian Brett-Chinnery, will be pleased to design dishes to suit the species, quality and number of your gamebirds.

About us
Simunovich Olive Estate is home to a unique restaurant, Bracu, which takes its name from the Adriatic island of Brac, the place where our olive growing tradition began.

Sitting atop the estate, like a sentinel on permanent guard, was a historic kauri villa that until this point we had left untouched. It was all the motivation we needed to create a dining experience like no other in New Zealand. A place where we could share our life with others in that most noble of all traditions - through good friends, great company and even better food.

Today that idea is simply called Bracu - a dining destination that ignites the senses, captivates the palate and replenishes the soul.

About us
Bearing the Spanish title ‘hunter’, Cazador has beguiled Auckland diners with exquisite game - venison, pheasant, duck, wild pork and quail – since 1987.

Amongst favourites (pastas, paella, baklava) and classics (pepper steak), less well-known cuisine features, in recipes from the villages and tribes of Persia, Turkey, Greece, Italy and Spain. The menu includes vegetarian options.
