About Mission Estate Restaurant

Mission Estate Restaurant is a contemporary fine dining restaurant at 198 Church Road in Taradale, Napier, set in the grounds of New Zealand's oldest winery. Menus change with the seasons and use local produce, with an international influence. Options include a tasting menu with an optional wine match, a vegetarian and a vegan tasting menu, and a children's menu for guests aged 12 and under. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace and sweeping views over Napier city and the coast.

The restaurant serves lunch and dinner seven days a week for most of the year, and from Tuesday to Saturday in winter. The bar is open daily for drinks and light bites. It is closed on Good Friday and Christmas Day. Reservations are recommended, and walk-ins are welcome subject to availability. Groups of up to 12 can book online, and groups of 13 or more must take a set menu. Friday and Saturday evenings require a three-course set menu. Diners praise the tasting menu, the truffle dish, the attention to detail in the kitchen, and the wine choice.
