Recipient of Three Hats, Chef of the Year, and the coveted title of Winery Restaurant of the Year in the 2025 Cuisine Good Food Awards, Craggy Range Restaurant offers a warm and memorable experience, looking out on the spectacular backdrop of Te Mata Peak.
Craggy Range Restaurant offers an intimate, comfortable, and relaxed space to enjoy Executive Chef Casey McDonald’s regionally-inspired menu alongside Craggy Range wines.
On the mezzanine level of Craggy Range Restaurant, The Loft is an intimate and luxuriously appointed space offering dinner-party style dining that is comfortably familiar, but still worth dressing up for. The menus celebrate everything that shapes our cooking - unpretentious and delicious, a revolving set menu offering a generous three-course banquet that reflects the kind of food Casey loves to cook for friends at home.
We are fortunate to be located in Hawke’s Bay; home to some of New Zealand’s finest produce. In addition to our acclaimed regional menu, we take great pride in offering vegetarian or plant-based alternatives.
A diverse selection of fruits, herbs, and vegetables, meticulously cultivated and nurtured in the Craggy Range Kitchen Garden form the cornerstone of our menu. These ingredients are thoughtfully complemented by the contributions of our dedicated local community, including passionate growers, farmers, and artisans.
Our menu is complemented by a wine list that features a selection of Craggy Range wine from current and back vintages, a range of locally brewed beers, and an ever-changing curated selection of cocktails.
