One of the shining lights in Waiheke’s dining scene, Ki Māha serves up seasonal fare in inarguably one of the most beautiful settings in the country, with the waves of Onetangi Beach beaming in through the vaulted glass front.
Ki Māha’s elegant menu takes advantage of the abundant natural larder on Waiheke. With food this good, it is intuitive that you pair it with fabulous wine, too, so it should come as no surprise that champagne heavyweights Veuve Clicquot are bringing their much-loved bubbles to Waiheke’s northern shores for a Summer Sun pop-up.
Sunset savants will want to make a beeline for the restaurant between 3-5pm Monday to Saturday for Solaire Sunset Hour, which sees specially priced glasses of Veuve and, as a one-off, Veuve Clicquot Rosé by the glass — a rarity as this blush-hued bubbles is usually available by the bottle only.
To complement the Veuve, a special menu of canapés and snacks is on offer, with dishes like delicate yellow in tuna tartlets with caviar and lemon verbena, vindaloo fries with spiced mayo, and prawn toast with chipotle mayo, all designed to pair with Veuve’s structured, well-balanced palate.
Not ready to let the weekend go? Head to Ki Māha on Sundays between 3-6pm for Veuve Clicquot’s take on a Sunday session. Think seafood towers, roaming champagne trolleys, and DJs on the decks to keep the energy high.
And for those who like to kick things off earlier in the day, there’s The Sunny Side Up Brunch. On the second Sunday of every month (the next one being Sunday 8th February), there will be a multi-course feast featuring caviar on toast, crayfish omelettes and, of course, glasses of Veuve Clicquot.
