Give Executive Chef Hyokeun a mystery wine and he'll hand you back a mushroom bulgogi with pine nuts before you can say "Riesling" 🍄🍷 That's exactly what went down when put him on the spot with one of Gibbston Valley's finest Rieslings.

Catch Chef Hyokeun live at Winetopia's Chef v Wine demos, Saturday 8 August, 7pm. See you there 👋🏼

We're MICHELIN Selected ✨

East has been recognised in the inaugural MICHELIN Guide New Zealand 2026, and we’re buzzing about it.

We're the only fully vegetarian restaurant in the guide - the only one! Proof that plant-powered dining can be bold, generous and world-class.

Bold flavours. Beautiful produce. Hospitality that actually means it. That's what East has always been about.

To our team, thank you for the creativity and the care you pour into every plate. And to everyone who's pulled up a chair with us to share a bite, this one's yours too.

Let's toast properly 🥂
Pop in before 7 July and we'll pour you a complimentary glass of bubbles with any meal. Just mention 'Michelin' when you order. One per diner, see you soon.
