We ordered the fish, an indian curry and 2 perfectly cooked fillet steaks and...Nice little salmon treats from the chef too.... amazing - especially the chicken curry (addictive) and the service is won...Two of us do not like salmon so we got a mango salsa bite.

About

Situated just an hour's drive from Auckland or Whangarei, Plume, the vineyard restaurant, Matakana is a must visit destination on any Matakana wine or food journey - we believe we are all about fabulous local New Zealand wine and produce which together can celebrate "culinary diversity." Plume is a small town, rural, rustic restaurant with friendly service from locally employed staff. It is a great change from the starchy fine dining service of a big city like Auckland yet is in a class of its own. Our Vineyard is called Runner Duck Estate and we make superb wines like PInot Gris, Rose, Syrah, Red Blend (Bordeaux style) Sangiovese - now from the 14th of February 2019 ie Valentine's Day introducing…

Delightful experience

We were staying at Plumes Villas which is also excellent, dined at Plumes Restaurant 2 nights. The staff are an asset, friendly, attentative, knowledgeable, almost outdo the Chef. Food was well presented, delicious. A delightful experience both nights.

Unfortunately pretty average

We were looking forward to having dinner at this restaurant after a lengthy period of not returning due to excessive richness of sauces previously. Sadly the experience food wise, was the antithesis of before. To sum it up quickly, the culinary experience was little more...than an above average 'pub' meal. The Sangiovese was the only redeeming feature but as a close to $200 event for 2 without entrees or dessert, it will be a long time before we visit again.More

Staff Function

We held a staff lunch there and it went very well. The venue is quiet and spacious, the staff friendly and helpful and the outdoor flow to the grounds is easy. We would happily go there again and if for a staff function probably check...what games are available to enjoy on the lawns otherwise take our own.More

Taste sensation

Thank you for a lovely meal. All 3 of us loved our meals and the one that could manage to fit in dessert really loved it. We did all try the lemon sorbet and will be back to Sharp Rd tomorrow to try some more...😘 I Love the flight of wines that I chose to have with my meal as well. All staff were pleasant and helpful. Highly recommend Plume.More
