Real food,
real flavours

St Georges is the ultimate foodie destination, spearheaded by top NZ chef Francky Godinho who’s known to push the boundaries. 

We specialise in modern European food that flirts with other cuisines, which means our menus have something for everyone — the health-conscious, the experimental, the coeliacs, the herbivores, and of course, the lovers of tried & true classics. 

It’s refined, yet relaxed. Our dishes may evolve with the seasons but our focus on fresh, masterfully-prepared food remains constant. 

Add a dash of genuine hospitality and carefully curated beverage list of beer, wine and signature cocktails — and you’ve got a recipe for an unforgettable dining experience.

From our garden to your plate 

Picture this: you bite into the infamous St Georges crispy pork belly. It’s arguably the best thing you’ve ever tasted. The fennel & beetroot were picked that morning. The pork is free-range from a local farm. The plums have been foraged from neighbouring properties. You cross your fingers & hope no one asks you for a bite — as this is not a dish you’re willing to share under any circumstances. 

The gardens surrounding our venue aren't there for looks, they sustain our restaurant year-long with their bounty. If you take a wander through the garden after your meal you’ll see why our food looks & tastes so fresh — you can literally see where it’s come from!

Our menus are graced by only the best locally-sourced ingredients. And as we grow 90% of our own produce, our farm to table offering is as authentic as you can get.

Living self-sustainably is a way of life for us at St Georges. Our ethos is centred on organically grown, grass-fed, handpicked real food. Because real food tastes better.

  • “A breath of fresh air….

    It’s not at all pretentious, it’s not a winery relying on that to impress you. The service is very polite — they are happy you’re there. The only one happier than them will be you. The food is simple ... .and it’s delicious. It’s like you’ve driven down some back road in the Italian countryside and discovered a little gem. You suspect the owner is in the kitchen and he is (we sent beers to the kitchen and he came out to thank us). After a series of overrated disappointments, St. George’s is a breath of fresh air.”

  • “Absolutely delicious food…

    Everything comes with an incredibly interesting salad built in - although salad is too mundane a word for the myriad of adventures sitting on your plate - so no need to order too many extra greens! Plenty of the food is picked from their own gardens as well. Nice shaded outdoor spots as well as indoor, with a real country garden atmosphere. Lovely service, even got an entrée on the house, and a good selection of drinks. And GET THE PORK. It’s to DIE FOR!”

  • “One of the top restaurants in Napier…

    The whole evening was perfect from start to finish! I loved the overall vibe, the music was chilled. We were warmly welcomed and our service from Aby was exceptional, he was friendly, had time for us and was generally a top guy (who is great at singing 'happy birthday!'). The food was out of this world. All the vegetables are fresh, organic and grown on site and you can taste this in the quality of the food. The chef is clearly very talented! Desserts were like no desserts we had ever tasted.”
