Pull up to an outside table for modern Italian dishes and excellent people-watching at this long-running Herne Bay stalwart.

Head to this Herne Bay fine diner for a degustation from a team that rejoices in experimentation (but never at the cost of taste) while also celebrating New Zealand produce.

Help yourself to a bottle of wine from the shelf at this Herne Bay 46-seater, which has a Mediterranean menu and multicoloured walls to match. You can grab a margherita to takeaway, or sit out front and catch the afternoon sun with a glass of wine and some antipasti.
