Napier Cruise: Best Cruises to Napier

Three Doors Up

Address: 3 Waghorne St, Ahuriri, Napier 4110, New Zealand

Come to Three Doors Up, open evenings from 5pm for a romantic, French bistro-style vibe mixed with New Zealand inspired dishes. Whether you’re looking for locally sourced, panko-fried scallops, the steamed duck buns, or the restaurant’s take on a T-bone cut served with garlic butter, Three Doors Up is upscale but approachable.

Mister D

Address: 47 Tennyson St, Napier, New Zealand

For a relaxed lunch out in Napier, head to Mister D, a classic eatery that calls itself both “country” and “rock ‘n’ roll”. It’s a refreshing, down-to-earth café where you’ll shake hands with locals and regulars. The cheesy eggs are a cult favorite here for breakfast. Mister D bakes its own bread and pastries each day, as well as makes all its pastas by hand.

Te Awa Winery Restaurant

Address: 2375 State Highway 50, Hastings, New Zealand

Te Awa Winery has a restaurant that wants to quickly become Hawke’s Bay’s best dining experience. The lunch menu, which is available from 10am to 3pm, includes small and large plates, cheese and charcuterie boards, desserts, and all the classic espresso drinks. But where Te Awa shines is that it takes risks with food pairings. Think dishes like smoked eel with watercress, or slow-cooked lamb shoulder with cumin salsa and parsley.

Bistronomy

Address: 40 Hastings St, Napier 4110, New Zealand

The modern sleekness of Bistronomy’s atmosphere gives the restaurant an air of mystery and sophistication. The dishes offer creative spins on classics using seasonally sourced ingredients, but never right on the nose of what you’d expect. Try the polenta fries with paprika aioli or the smoked beef carpaccio served with a Bloody Mary sorbet.
