Bistronomy & Vinotech

Such a good dining experience though portions were small and on the pricey side. We enjoyed everything we tried: beef cheek, fried chicken + boullabaise 🤌 it was a quiet night when we went but this is so worth visiting if you are in Napier.

Bistronomy & Vinotech in Napier is a true gem! The atmosphere is sophisticated yet welcoming, perfect for a special night out or a relaxed evening with friends. The menu is innovative and beautifully executed, with each dish showcasing fresh, local ingredients. The wine selection is extensive and expertly curated, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal. The service is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. Highly recommend Bistronomy & Vinotech for its exceptional food, wine, and ambiance!

Delicious selection of meals accompanied by attentive service. Incredible how one chef can manage well timed meals with a depth of flavour. Ordered one entree and two mains, both are easily shareable without sides.

Lovely interior decoration and great atmosphere, suitable for dates or family dinners. Our hostess/waitress was very accommodating and welcoming. We had the beef Wellington and the pork hock/pork belly with a side of fries and bread for starters. The portion is decent and quality is very good. The hock/pork belly was a little dry for me but it was still very good. The beef cheek Wellington was very moist and the pastry was super! It was definitely our favorite dish. The dessert was very good also. The chips and bread was a good compliment. They have a good selection of NZ wine and we got the Hopes Grove Syrah, very nice I must say. Would definitely come back next time I visit Hawkes Bay

Excellent, interesting food and attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed all courses (see pics) and good wine pairings. Given the quality of the food I think the tasting menu represented pretty good value for money. It's quite a small restaurant so reservations recommended.

If you could look for a fine dine place in a nice atmosphere and good quality food, here is your choice!! The venison is amazing. It's must order dish. Excellent service A+++++

The 3 rd experience of fine dining / degustation menu. Once again walked in and the staff were very accommodating but had to sit at bar as no space even though I arrive at 8.15 pm. The food got served in quick pace. The set menu is part of their A la carte. I got house bread with cauliflower, sashimi and chicken wing for entree. For mains beetroot risotto and mussle fish fennel powder. The fennel powder was nice n new to me. Dessert was mocha cake I think. Overall 107$ with drink which is expensive as the food didn’t contain many expensive items. Thus value for meal is 3 or less but taste definitely 4-4.5. Reading other comments indeed the food quantity is small but if u r dinning a set menu then u do have 4 to 5 dishes to go thru n that fills you up with drinks. Guess if one is in 20s or a big eater, then yes food is quantity is tiny. The small quantity probably holds true for a number of degustation menus I have been too. Once again for an occasion / one time affair.. ———————————- Visited again Apr 2021. This time I was very disappointed. I reached at 2040hrs and the staff agreed to seat me but the kitchen was really closing and I would have preferred the straight answer of not being able to dine, rather than a half hearted attempt. Steaks and anything that’s took longer than 10 mins wasn’t allowed and neither was dessert.. I prolly Shd have left myself. I had chicken wings which weren’t wings at all but crispy fried batter on top of chicken pieces. 17.25$ for piece of 4. Poor taste and felt worse than kfc to be honest. 1/5 for value n taste. Organic chicken was 29$ which was a thick piece of chicken breast with not much taste. 1/5 for value n taste unfortunately. The cocktail Sicilian 20$ Was prolly the highlight. Overall 67$. Not worth it at all..

We wanted to like this place, but sadly we would not go back. The place was pretty empty when we showed up and there were easily 20 tables available. We had to sit and wait over 10 mins for them to set our table. The food was ok, but seemed to lack seasoning over all. Plus the prices were very high for the sizes especially what were considered mains but were appetizer size. The wines list is very over priced with charging over $20+ a glass for a $38 bottle. I felt bad because there was only one chef in the kitchen and no one else, not even a dish washer. Only 2 staff total on the floor, which I am sure is a reflection of COVID red status at the moment. The staff were very nice but moved with a lackadaisical vibe.
