i don't think there's any restaurants
that compared to hirakai unlike anything
i've ever experienced
[Music]
kia ora my name is kess
i'm from
poneke or
wellington and new zealand um i am a
foodie i went to hirakai for my birthday
honestly it just blew us away
[Music]
when you walk in you really feel
the manakitanga or hospitality
even the waiters and waitresses are
pronouncing
all the terms and words correctly
they would sit with you through each
course and explain the story behind the
course what it means
it made you feel like you were part of
their family in a way
i haven't had that other fine dining
restaurants you can see right into the
kitchen see all the chefs preparing food
i was lucky to be able to see my neck
feso
[Music]
the food is amazing
it is unlike any flavor combination that
i've ever had they use maori and
polynesian ingredients they source and
forage so often these ingredients aren't
things that you would see in
supermarkets
is on par with some michelin star
restaurants that i've been to very
unique unlike anything i've ever
experienced
[Music]
