Te Awa Winery Cellar Door - Hastings

Wonderful venue, amazing food and the most hospitable staff fantastic!

I had the most amazing lunch here a couple of weeks ago. Not only was the food delicious but the service was excellent and that makes all the difference. I love all the small plates on the menu but on this occasion we had 2 of the large plates, the fish and the chicken and had to have the crunchy potatoes to accompany them. Delicious.

My wife and I had one of the better lunches we have had. Everything at Te Awa restaurant was excellent. From the very friendly staff to the dishes and the wine. The ’True Earth’ carrots were amazing. Overall the dishes were of a really high standard with tastes that really was to our liking. So the lunch took three hours...; Ulla Claes, Sweden

Went here again last weekend. As usual, the food and service was phenomenal. They had a wedding starting later in the afternoon but all was made clear when we booked and when we arrived. The menu follows a constant sharing plates formula but always with a few exciting seasonal twists. It's a joy to eat here and the charcoal ribeye with smoked bone marrow was to die for.

We arrived at Te Awa without a booking today and we were very pleased to be shown a table. We have a limited diet and the restaurant was able to cater to our restrictions without any need of adjustments. The slow cooked lamb with a parsley and cumin salsa was delicious as was the accompanying glass of syrah. The service was friendly and helpful. We will return.
