A bistro at the Allpress olive groves on Gordons Road, Waiheke Island, where the menu is built to show the olive oil. The business grows and mills its own extra virgin olive oil in Waiheke's volcanic soils, and each dish uses only a few ingredients, drawn from local and New Zealand produce. The menu takes its style from the cantinas of Europe and changes regularly with the seasons. Groups of 10 or more are asked to dine on the feasting menu.
The bistro is open Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 12pm to 8pm. It can be contacted on 09 372 6214 or at hello@allpressolivegroves.co.nz. The olive oil is also sold through the business's website. Our pick on Waiheke for a simple meal that lets local olive oil show.
