French Fusion
The existence in a small seaside town of such a high-quality French fusion eatery pleasantly surprises many visitors. French chef Samuel Goslin remains true to classical French cuisine, at the same time allowing for the Kiwi taste for less salt and less fat. His wife Severine guides the front of house with a sophisticated yet relaxed ambience, whether inside or out in the cottage garden. Seasonal and local produce features options like Ora King salmon and Coromandel scallops.
