This week’s Friday Faves is all about an incredible dining experience being created right here in the Bay of Islands. 🌿
Salt & Seed Private Dining is the work of chef couple Chris & Natacha, bringing years of experience from some of the UK’s best kitchens, including 2 & 3 Michelin-starred restaurants and now home to Northland.
Their approach is beautifully simple: exceptional seasonal produce, thoughtful cooking and a completely tailored dining experience, all brought to you.
And the food speaks for itself. Think torched truffle brie with Northland honey in crisp filo, scallop & prawn tortellini with courgette and nasturtium, or fresh tuna tartare with mango, fermented chilli and smoked salt. Seriously stunning.
From intimate private dining to weddings and special events, Salt & Seed can create the complete experience, with bespoke menus, professional catering and bar service tailored to the occasion.
At the heart of it all is a real celebration of the incredible growers, producers and artisans we have here in the Bay of Islands and across Northland, creating menus that change with the seasons and feel completely connected to this part of New Zealand.
Beautiful produce, serious talent and restaurant-level dining brought to your table. A very special Friday Fave. 💚
