Black Estate - New Zealand

Stopped by for an impromptu lunch on the way South. Excellent service from FoH and knowledgeable Somellier. The lunch menu is very limited, but all dishes show care creativity.

Great views, tasty wines and amazing service, French lady was incredibly knowledgeable

Had lunch here last Saturday. Amazing food and wine in a beautiful setting, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Many thanks to Black Estate for making this lunch a special occasion!

We had a lovely time! The food was spot on, as were the wine selections. The views were spectacular. Highly recommend for a wonderful afternoon. Thanks team!

Fantastic place just off the highway. Decided to make a short detour for lunch but stayed for more than an hour. Highly recommend the lamb, butterfly butter fish and Roasted potatoes. Lamb was juicy, tender and flavourful but the fish was the highlight of the day. Thick fillet topped with seasoned greens and immaculate butter sauce that fills your pallete with one bite but does not leave you overwhelmed. There are some bones within but it's worth the effort. Potatoes were crispy and thick and lightly seasoned, accompanied by a delectable citrus mash of sorts. Looks plain but the flavour begged to differ. Wine tasting was superb with an informative and passionate sharing of up to 6 wines with a spittoon tasting for drivers who can't resist. Ended up buying 3 bottles myself. A little pricey with mains priced around $50-70 but I guess you can't put a price on the experience.
