Hillside Kitchen - Thorndon

4.7/5 based on 8 reviews

Hillside is a tiny restaurant serving food and drinks that represent our region and country.

Our menus are written based on what’s in season, what we are growing in our garden or what we have foraged, for this reason, menus are not available to view in advance.

Our food is meatless/vegetarian/plant-focused or call it what you will, we just worry about making it delicious.

We select wines that do not use animal products in the winemaking process.

Our lunch and dinner menus are multi-course menus, we can cater for most dietary requirements with advance notice. Our weekend brunch menu is a build your own style menu.

We create this menu daily and do need to know about any dietary requirements in advance.

Hillside is our go-to place for special occasions, and never disappoints. The dishes on offer always surprise and delight. Creative, fresh, unusual, tasty. Things like celery sorbet and radish leaf pesto might look dodgy on paper but I can assure you that they are amazing and unforgettably wonderful.

Fantastic food! every plate had the most delicious flavours and a lot of it from their own back yard! The ambience was amazing and the staff were incredible. They had great knowledge of what was on each plate and everything was spaced out well so we could fit all the food in. Will be recommending to friends and family. Thank you for a great date night.

Phenomenal! We absolutely loved this dining experience & the ethos of this restaurant. The time, love and care that goes into growing and preparing the food is so admirable. Love that the whole menu is vegetarian, love that the wine matching is so spot on. Love the flavours, the textures, the presentation. Love the passionate friendly staff. 10/10

Great fun experience, is not about the quantity here, is all about the quality of the flavour and the excitement of waiting for the next dish as every dish is a surprise, you won't know what you get until it arrive at the table, we spend three hours on the dinner, but it doesn't feel that long at all because it give you time to slowly taste it, talk about it and enjoy the evening time, menu change according to the ingredients they have from them own farm, definitely will come back to try the next menu.

What a beautiful dinner. We ended up staying there for several hours, and thoroughly enjoyed our time. The food was delicious and there were many flavours we hadn't tried before. Each dish was well-thought out and had special touches to it. The non-alcoholic and alcoholic matches worked well. The service was excellent, and well-explained. An unforgettable experience.

My husband and I had an absolutely phenomenal meal - I loved the use of seasonal fruit and veg in all sorts of unusual combinations. Will definitely be recommending it to friends and family who love a good vegetable-focused meal. My only qualm - and it's a small one at that - is that for a restaurant with such an emphasis on sourcing locally and with presumably a very sustainable ethos, I was surprised that they served bottled water rather than chilled tap water.

Fun experience, and worth going at least once. The food flavors feel quite experimental and some work, and some do not. Do not be in a hurry as it does take some time.
