The Church - Hahei

Wow! Just wow! We had an incredible meal at The Church Bistro last night. The food was delicious gourmet enough to be interesting, but good portions and really tasty meals. The pudding was out of this world and HUGE! The wine was lovely. The location is pretty with lovely atmosphere. The staff chatty and attentive without being invasive. Even the owner was making sure everyone was happy. Overall a fabulous meal out and reasonably priced to boot! An awesome addition to Hahei this place is going to explode!!! Well done team, highly recommended.

Excellent and lovely owner and staff Food also delicious Best place to eat in Hahei

We had a lovely family night at the Church Bistro. Everyone enjoyed their meals from the well planned and interesting menu and the service could not be faulted.

We had a lovely dinner. Fantastic food!! Staff are lovely and friendly. The ambience is really nice. Love the Seared Tuna, Pulled beef crispy sushi rolls, and the fresh salad. Kids enjoyed their food (loved the steak was extra tender) We ordered all three desserts on the menu they were all divine! Kids and I loved the Brazilian Cheesecake Kudos to the Chef. Grateful to experience dining here. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

We went to The Church Bistro which was conveniently attached to our most wonderful Church Accommodations Cottages. The space was unique and that it is actually an old church. We started with a shared appetizer of duck confit served with goat cheese in a filo dough nest which was excellent and an indication of the meal to come. We ordered one of the specials of the night, which was a delicious seafood Thai green curry served with house baked cumin bread (I can still taste it 's cumin deliciousness now). We also ordered the grilled salmon with black rice which was perfection. We shared the dark chocolate dome for dessert which was equaly delicious. The service was friendly and familiar while at the same time being equivalent to the best restaurants in big cities. Surprisingly, this bistro in this tiny town in what some may consider 'the middle of nowhere ' happen to be one of the best meals we 've had through our month-long journey around New Zealand.
