Wow, wow, wow! Chef Jeremy, Natalie and their team were outstanding - from the time our group of 4 walked into the restaurant and for the 2.5hrs we spent dining on their 6-course degustation menu. A beautiful menu, using the finest ingredients, was innovative with every mouthful a burst of flavour & texture. We decided not to see the menu beforehand as we wanted to be surprised and this was impeccably delivered. Each course was perfectly explained on arrival to our table and we waited with anticipation on what the next course would bring. We were exceptionally well looked after all evening by the wonderful staff and we enjoyed the relaxed & comfortable ambience, especially our seating at the back of the restaurant. Highly recommended!!
Visiting from Australia and chose Pacifica for its 3 hat rating. We were certainly not disappointed! Wonderful food with flavours that always complemented the dish. We did the wine pairing as well, and all wines were perfectly matched with the corresponding dish and we got to try some wines that were different to what we had encountered before. The service was friendly but professional. The restaurant is set in a quaint little cottage that adds to the ambience. Highly recommended.
Beautiful meals. Fantastic service. Always a great time at Pacifica!
Beautiful food and atmosphere, definitely up there (if not better) than any Michelin stared restaurant I’ve been to. Cannot believe how affordable the menu was when comparing to the quality of food we ate. Wine list on point also.
Thank you for a great NYE dinner!
The 6 course menu and wine pairing was absolutely excellent. Natalie ensured we had excellent wine and was a brilliant host. Would highly recommend to anyone in the region. Fresh, exciting and altogether a great night.
We truly enjoyed everything tonight ! Every dish was delightful and paired perfectly with beautiful wines. Thanks to the Chef Jeremy for delivering excellent quality dining experience and thanks to Natalie & Rachel for the friendly service. Everything was well explained to us without being too intrusive. Merci Beaucoup ! We'll be back soon with our parents.
I recently had the pleasure of dining, once again, at Pacifica Restaurant in Napier. It’s a true gem in the world of dining and was an outstanding culinary experience. From the very first degusation course to the last, I found I was unable to pick a favourite, as each dish was incredibly delicious. Chef Jeremy’s talent and creativity shone through every bite.
Partner Nat, who expertly manages the front of house, ensured the service was impeccable, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. The ambiance was lovely, creating a perfect setting for an unforgettable dining experience.
Always wanted to try out Pacifica and they did not disappoint. They offer a 5 course degustation but they do have another, less seafood heavy option. We did not try the wine paring today but wine selection was plentiful. Beautiful way to showcase local ingredients, including lemonfish. The setting was quite intimate and definitely does not have a pretentious vibe. Service was excellent. Yes the portions are smaller for each but this is made up for by depth of flavour. Perhaps a longer degustation option might be good. I would happily come back again to Pacifica restaurant. Remember to book ahead
Absolutely phenomenal meal! The degustation allowed us to trust the chef completely and we really enjoyed trying new things we would never otherwise order. Every dish was spectacular, and the service made the whole experience just lovely.
Worth the spend for a once in a lifetime experience.
We dined here on the night of 2nd Sept. The staff delivered attentive services and we felt welcomed and looked after. Food was a great display of local produces, exceptional value for money. We look forward to dining again when we visit Napier next time.
