Pacifica Restaurant

Our favourite restaurant in Napier. Jeremy's magic in the kitchen left our taste buds humming and Natalie's wine matches were perfect. We love the small intimate space that is not over crowded and the fact we are never rushed, a real treat. Highly recommended to anyone who loves great food. Kia kaha Jeremy and Natalie.

If you are in Napier and love great food, you owe it to yourself to head to Pacifica!

The food, the wine and the service is first class.

The seafood here is always amazing.

Stunning and beautiful restaurant - both ambience and its food! Must visit, showcases the beautiful flavours our country’s indigenous culture has to offer. Chef Jeremy Remeka is one humble man who puts his heart and soul into the food he cooks. Great service, fine dine and humbling experience! Must do if you are in napier, even more so if you are visiting nz from overseas. Gives you appreciation for the beautiful flavors of the Maori cuisine. Ka pai!

A wonderful experience. Delightful hostesses and amazing good. And special attention was paid to our mother on her 88th birthday. She loved it too. Highly recommend

This was the second time I tried a set menu / fancy dining with degustation menu. The staff were very accommodating even though I arrived unbooked and late and managed to get me a seat and t he whole experience.

The fine dinning experience is expensive in general.

This place was doing a seafood menu and was 70$ so kind of cheaper than places. Total 100$ with the drinks.

The menu as below was pretty nice and I really liked the Parmesan foam. Never had it before.

Overall this place was definitely 4-4.5 and the considering seafood, it was probably worth the money. Taste was definitely 5. The staff were very attentive and I enjoyed.

However a once off experience for occasions.

Disappointing, meals were very small (most of us went home and ate more food to be content). Wine match didn't match so well, food lacked impact. Staff very attentive.

Delicious food but we left the restaurant hungry. I'm attaching the main meal's picture. (it's a 5 course set menu. Grove - Auckland style. But with very small portions.) You decide for yourselves.

Excellent food and service at a very reasonable price. Not sure how anyone can not give them a five star review

Qualität und Quantität entsprachen nicht meinen Wünschen an ein Restaurant dieser allgemeinen Reputation.

Excellent service for this solo diner! Beautiful presentation, fresh and innovative seafood dishes. Five course degustation for excellent value.

One of my favourite tasting menus I have had. The food made me feel good, not just feel full. You must make a reservation, we did not and were lucky that someone else was unable to make it. Everything was cooked fabulously, the wait staff were wonderful and didnt hover or linger around us.

This is definitely my favourite restaurant in Dunedin, though I'm tad biased towards brunch. Often packed on a weekend, but not without good reason and seats aren't hard to find. If you're feeling a bit dusty after a night out or just after a treat for brunch, its the place to be.

Amazing.

Clean tasting, high quality ingredients. Five course fine dining degustation

Quality of food is very good and makes you wish that there was more of it, but it is a degustation menu. Because the courses are so small, the overall experience does feel inherently rushed although the service was excellent.

This was one of our favourite dining experiences in New Zealand. Went just before New Years with friends and they were Great in accommodating us.

Warm and inviting ambiance topped with great service. Pacific offers degustation menu only with a choice between seafood or meat each with optional extra charge wine pairings. The first two courses are the same for both menus (smoked warehou mayonnaise on potato mash, pumpkin & mossarella pasta w/ tomato & olive oil puree) while the final course offers a choice between two different desserts (rum & raisin bread pudding or a cheese, honey and fig bread). I was disappointed with my 3rd course venison carpaccio with creamy parmesan polenta, as the sauce overpowered the taste of the venison. However the 4th course of corned beef (prepared 2 ways) with oxtail broth was delightful. The local hohepa cheese served on the 5th course was yummy especially with the little fig bread. Overall very nicely done with little pretense and great Kiwi friendliness.

Fantastic service and great atmosphere but had to be disappointed with paying a reasonable amount for the 6 course menu and then getting lemon fish floating in a grey cabbage broth on the seafood menu and corned beef on the mixed menu? Wouldnt expect to get those low budget foods at a gourmet restaurant. Was pretty disappointed that our menu wasnt a lot of 'seafood' as advertised.

Went here on Friday night for dinner. First off the service was outstanding! Extremely knowledgable and attentive. The food was sublime (three of us did the seafood and meat degustation one did the seafood only menu) the wine matches were on point and overall a Devine dining experience. Would highly recommend and would go back in a heartbeat.

Clean, not complicated yet a rich, fabulous taste palette of food with fantastic service! Thank you Pacifica for a great dining experience in Napier.

Food and service was excellent. Friendly staff specially Hini who accommodated us. Worth the price.
