Taste your way around New Zealand, and you'll discover food and wine that's original, world-class, and fresh from the source.
Pacific Rim cuisine
New Zealand food goes way beyond fish and chips and barbeques — chefs have developed a distinct Pacific Rim cuisine. Indulge in plenty of seafood (like greenlipped mussels, crayfish (lobster), Bluff oysters and fresh fish), award winning cheeses and of course the famous lamb. You should also expect a laidback, friendly atmosphere wherever you eat; Kiwis love to keep things casual.
