Hillside Kitchen and Cellar

$$$$ | Thorndon Fodor's Choice

This tiny Tinakori icon offers award-winning farm-to-table fine dining, without the fancy fuss or animal products. Even with a meat-free menu, you won't feel like you're missing out on flavor or putting up with tiny portions. The chef creates a new menu every day, depending on what's growing in the garden or what the team has foraged locally. Local and traveling foodies love Hillside, so reservations are essential.
