Set against Piha’s dramatic landscape, Aryeh is chef Lucas Parkinson’s deeply personal expression of contemporary New Zealand cuisine. Hyper-seasonal menus take their cues from what is available around the restaurant, bringing together produce from local growers, premium-farmed meats, wild game, and sustainably sourced kaimoana. Guests can opt for shorter Trust the Chef menus, a five-course signature experience or the extended Story of New Zealand Cuisine, each reflecting Parkinson’s commitment to sustainability and a distinctly local sense of place. With native forest beyond the windows and Lion Rock nearby, Aryeh feels inseparable from its surroundings.
