How the prices are counted
Per person, before service
Every figure is for one guest. New Zealand menu prices include 15% GST and no service charge is added, so these are the full prices before drinks; tipping isn't expected. Some restaurants add a surcharge on public holidays. Prices shown in other currencies use the day's exchange rate and are approximate.
Where prices come from
Dinner is the restaurant's main tasting or set menu; where a restaurant is mainly à la carte, the price is a typical main course. Wine is the wine pairing for that menu where one is offered. Prices come from each restaurant's own website where they're published, otherwise from recent reviews and news reports. Lunch is shown where we found a lunch menu.
Stars and Google rating
The Google reviews score out of 5 and the number of reviews, checked in October 2026. Stars come from the first MICHELIN Guide New Zealand, announced in June 2026, so there are no earlier star changes to show yet.
