A cook works over the wood grill as evening settles on the water

Napier waterfront · Wood-grilled daily catch

Salt air, wood fire, the catch of the day

The morning boats bring the catch.
We bring it to the fire.

Fresh local fish cooking over a wood-fired grill — Wood fire, fresh catch, and a little smoke from the pass.

We’re a small, 40-seat bistro on Napier’s waterfront. Each morning’s boats set the direction; the grill does the rest.

Come for lunch or dinner, settle in with something from the sea, or choose one of the good things we make for those who don’t eat fish.
