Just outside the bustling city centre, Essence is perched on a hillside above Lake Wakatipu. The low-key room exudes understated elegance, so it doesn’t steal the thunder from the food. The two tasting menus draw on premium seasonal New Zealand produce, finessed by solid European techniques, ingenious creativity and modern sensibility. Every plate tells a story with refined, yet expressive flavours. Pinot Noir lovers should not miss the wine list.
