The elegantly restored historic seminary building provides a stunning location for the unique, award-winning Mission Restaurant. Exquisite cuisine is served from 10am daily, with the lunch menu and dinner menu changing regularly to reflect the seasonal influence. Nestled in the Taradale hills, diners at the Mission Estate Restaurant enjoy sweeping views of Napier city and the coast beyond. Beautiful by day and spectacular by night, the vista is unparalleled in Hawke's Bay. The outdoor dining terrace is drenched in summer sun while the indoor restaurant spaces have been cleverly designed to provide intimate dining.

With only the freshest local produce used, the style of cuisine is contemporary fine dining with a European influence. The waiting staff are trained to provide the best wine match option for each dish on the menu. Excellent service, quality seasonal produce and award-winning wines combine to create a memorable experience.

Visitors are encouraged to wander through the beautifully manicured lawns and garden and soak up the ambiance of the estate.
