Review Poivre & Sel - Whitianga

Hands down the best restaurant in Hawkes Bay. Sam’s food is exceptional everytime. If you’re looking for that absolute top class dining, look no further. Compared to places like Craggy and Black Barn, this place is next level and a much better price.

We went for the Christmas Menu, which was delicious. The highlights were the salmon tartare and the chocolate tart, yet the most surprising dish was the beetroot sorbet with gin. The service was attentive and very good!

The four of us dinned here for dinner. We enjoyed it amensly. I had the wine pairing and was glad I did. Nice to try different wines too. The match was a good fit. I would recommend this place

Fabulous French food, friendly service, comfy restaurant, relaxed atmosphere. Well paced delivery not rushed or slow. Delicious, 10/10 would dine again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Poivre et Sel. The food and the service were outstanding and it was a lovely night out. The wine pairing was amazing and well worth doing. Thank you again for such a lovely dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant.

This was our first time dining at Poivre et Sel and a most pleasing experience it was. Loved the ambiance and atmosphere of the setting. The staff are very friendly and polite. The food was great also, well presented and we found you did not leave feeling over full. We would highly recommend this restaurant to others. Will definitely go back again. Thank you for a positive dining experience.

This is a must visit when you are in Napier. The staff are friendly and very attentive. Great atmosphere and drinks and the food is absolutely beautiful. The best food hands done we have had while being in Napier.

The 6 course set menu with choice of two mains was delicious! We wanted a special meal to celebrate and we were not disappointed - great experience, merci beaucoup!

We had a lovely meal here with friends. The food was beautifully presented and delicious, would recommend the wine match. Service was superb and a warm relaxing environment. Will definately be going again.

This restaurant is not only absolutely excellent, the quality of both the ambience and the food is consistently superb. We have had the fortunate opportunity to eat here both in Napier and their previous location over a number of years and the experience is fantastic. Not just the thoughtful wine pairings that go with the absolutely delicious food courses but the service is joy to experience. Having said all of that - it is the food, beautifully crafted by the superb chef that is the main experience to go for again and again.

Just wonderful. Superb food, especially the cucumber sorbet entree & chocolate sphere dessert. An unhurried dining experience, perfect wine matches & great service.

Overall a lovely dining experience. Delicious fare, great wine selection, great service. Would definitely recommend

Sea front restaurant adapted from original house. Some of the original features have been kept making an interesting setting. Select meal options for pair with wine and main courses. Food was nicely presented. Comfortable décor.

I was drawn in by their "French restaurant of the year" award, and was absolutely not disappointed. Excellent food in a beautiful setting with a strong attention to details, we enjoyed every part of our dinner.

Perfect experience 10 out of 10

This has to have been the best dinning experience I have had since the last time a was here. Absolutely the most amazing food wine and service . The attention to detail,taste and textures really is 5 star. Looking forward to the next time . Service was perfect and the wine match was very complementary to the food . A must do experience when in Napier

Wonderful meal. Excellent match of wines (many we wouldn't have had the opportunity to try). Nice environment with just the right amount of service (helpful but not invasive). Thoroughly recommended Poivre et Sel for that special occasion.

A top restaurant in Napier situated right on The Marine Parade. One of the famous Six Sisters properties. Fine dining at it's best. Our party of 10 took our time through 7 courses of the most delicious, beautifully presented courses, paired with a selection of top quality wines chosen to compliment each course. Nice atmosphere & friendly efficient service. I would have liked to take a photo of each course but I was actually too busy enjoying the whole meal & conversation to be whipping out a camera continually. Thank you.

Lovely meal, very friendly and helpful staff
