Brown Butter Kitchen

5.0(16 reviews)

About

Brown Butter Kitchen serves North Island from Muhunoa East Road, open Wednesday to Sunday 09:00-16:00.

A 5 out of 5 rating from 16 reviews puts the restaurant among the strongest-rated places to eat on the island. Reaching it from Auckland, Wellington or Hamilton involves a drive, while Rotorua and Taupo sit within the same broad region of the North Island. The Muhunoa East Road location places it in a rural setting away from the main centres.

The restaurant operates as a dining spot with a menu built around seasonal local produce.

Seasons run opposite to the northern hemisphere, with summer from December to February and winter from June to August, so the long summer days suit a visit. Hāngī, a meal cooked in an earth oven, and the pavlova dessert are both part of New Zealand food culture. The North Island has a volcanic plateau with hot springs and geysers, which pairs naturally with a day out from the restaurant.
