| Fresh, seasonal and sun-drenched
describes the unique taste of Nelson. It is the produce
created by the blend of people, landscape, climate and sea
that gives Nelson its well-deserved reputation as the Mediterranean
of the south.
From fresh summer berryfruit to scallops straight from
the sea, bright-flavoured tomatoes, crisp autumn apples
and award-winning olive oils, Nelson offers a constantly
changing banquet of the seasons.
The long-established mix of migrants who have adopted the
land as their own, from pre-European Maori who cultivated
kumara on the Waimea Plains to Italian immigrants who introduced
a taste for olive oil, along with recent arrivals who have
brought the new cafe culture, the eclectic mix of people
that make up the Nelson province has established an innovative
style of food with its foundations in using the very best
local produce.
Local chefs excel at using nature’s feast of produce to
create memorable dishes, best teamed with the region’s award-winning
wines and eaten in front of a view to remember.
From fine dining to casual cafes, Nelson offers a lively
and creative eating experience featuring the very best in
seasonal celebration.
