Fodor's Expert Review Church Hill Restaurant & Oyster Bar

At the heart of the menu is food of the sea, or kai moana. Stewart Island blue cod, salmon, mussels, oysters, and paua (abalone) are all cooked to perfection and accompanied by fresh vegetables from the garden just yards away. This intimate little restaurant with a view out to sea is popular with both locals and visitors. There's also gourmet food to takeout in a picnic basket. The restaurant hosts popular themed nights in summer offering a special Asian or Italian menu.
