Thanks Kika team for an amazing dinner! The service was excellent, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was as expected - top quality, and so tasty! We particularly enjoyed the lamb shoulder, and the ricotta & spinach gnudi - but everything on the menu looked so good - will just have to come back!

Piccolo- kika fried chicken with gochujang dressing, lime mayo & picked daikon
Grande- lumina lamb shoulder, ras el hanout, & date chermoula
Contorni- roasted carrots, whipped tahini, puffed grains, lemon dressing

One of the best meals I had in my entire trip to New Zealand. Starting with the restaurant itself, the ambiance was beautiful. The staff was incredibly friendly, it was just a very comfortable environment to eat in. And of course, the food. Every single thing was delicious. In particular, this was one of the best tartares I've ever had, but again, there were no misses on this menu. Even the desserts were great, the Pavlova in particular was a standout. Absolutely highly recommended!
5 stars all round! We just loved our meal at Kika, the food and the staff were all extraordinary. On a cool night in Wanaka it was a joy to walk into the wood fired warmth of the Kika dining room and be guided by their lovely staff through the menu that we shared and enjoyed every mouthful! We are already planning our return, thank you!
Amazing food, great and friendly service!! We ordered 3 appetizers and 1 main course. Everything was really delicious but the Tuna Tataki and the Catch of the Day fish (Sole for us) were super good! Also ordered two virgin cocktails which were among the best I ever drank. Atmosphere is relaxed fine dining but family friendly. In the end even very reasonably priced.
Our second time at Kika this weekend, and they are still one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to.
I highly recommend their “just feed me” option. Sit back, and enjoy three starters, a main with two sides, and a dessert. Delicious!
And they were easily able to cater my wife as a celiac.
