It is hard to sum up New Zealand in a few words. The country has an incredible culture, its food is phenomenal, and its people must be among the friendliest in the world.
Then, there’s the scenery. This must be among the most beautiful places in the world. Sure, many places lay claim to such a statement, but in New Zealand, it’s a sentiment that’s not overstated.
Is it possible to feel both far away and close at the same time? If so, that is the feeling New Zealand gives. Its culture feels familiar yet foreign at the same time. Visitors might be forgiven if they feel as though they’ve traveled to the edge of the Earth or for wanting to return again and again.
Cazador
Founded in 1987, Cazador is a family-owned and operated establishment that prides itself on serving sustainable, locally sourced ingredients. Its selections include wild, organic, and free-range ingredients and are carefully selected from New Zealand hunters and producers. They are used to create our house-made charcuterie selection and seasonal menus. The only offering better than the foot may be its phenomenal selection of local and international wines, craft beers, and cocktails. It all comes together for a relaxed, one-of-a-kind dining experience.
Charley Noble
Charley Noble began in 2013 inside the Huddart Parker building with a smart-casual dining experience in mind. Its founder, Paul Hoather, aimed to replicate the success of his previous venture, The Whitehouse restaurant. At Charley Noble, we have always prioritized customers’ needs and emphasized using quality ingredients. The team uses an open woodfire to cook, a nod to the origins of culinary art.
