The restaurant celebrates this and is also influenced by the strong historic and modern culture and heritage of the area. Hiku’s menu offers delicious, relaxed New Zealand fare inspired by the surrounds and local heroes, with seafood, farmed produce, wine and beer sourced from Kaikōura and its surrounds. Start with scallops, pea puree, crispy prosciutto, radish, microgreens or kina with garlic butter and grilled sourdough, and don’t miss this chance to order the fresh crayfish that’s one of the region’s specialties and fresh Kaikōura pan-fried fish, cider butter sauce, lemon and herbs. Expect classics with a kiwi twist and beautiful flavours in a mountain and sea views.
