Located on Napier’s Marine Parade, Pacifica Restaurant specializes in innovative locally produced cuisine.
The ever evolving menu is focused on seafood and wild game. All dishes are entrée sized to provide guests the opportunity to try a few different things during their night out. This new menu concept gives diners more flexibility, while encouraging them to experiment a bit.
For those ‘adventurous foodies’ Pacifica also offer an 8-course chef’s tasting menu. This is a culinary odyssey which is an all night dining experience.
Both the food and the service are based on emotion rather than convention. There are no fancy table cloths or snooty waiters. Rebecca and her team are intuitive, well informed, and generous. They offer that all too illusive blend of professionalism and informality, the kind of service that encourages you to relax and to be served.
Open Monday through Friday from 6pm until late. Bookings are highly recommended.

I think Pacifica is the best restaurant in New Zealand and I must leave second place unfilled out of admiration for it. The food is as aesthetically appealing as it is delectable. Local produce occupies pride of place. The passion and knowledge of the wait staff is world class.

Overpriced
Current menu entrees only at approx $24 each and are entree sized. So even if you are a light eater – you will need to order three of these. If money’s no object – you will have a fine meal.

We found this restaurant via MenuMania and what an amazing find it was.
From the moment we walked in the door to when we waddled out hours later all suitably replete the service & food was top notch. The food was presented beautifully and was a delight to eat, two of us had the Scotched Egg dish and it was an utterly divine dish, my Husband had the mutton bird and he said he was in heaven.
All the portion sizes are perfect proportioned and each dish was a taste explosion.
The waitress was attentive without hovering and their wine recommendations were perfect. Their wine list has such variety it was outstanding.
We enjoyed our dining experience that we will most definitely be recommending this amazing find to anyone we know who is heading to the Hawkes Bay
A top notch restaurant that must be tried.

My favourite restaurant in NZ.
Casual, unpretentious … and simply superb.
Rebecca greets you warmly with a wonderful familiar feeling. The waiters know, understand and adore the menu – that’s SO important! They can also recommend wines to accompany each course – and they’ve never let me down with their recommendations.
The food is superb – bold and challenging.
I’ve had my first kina here – and adored it!
Pacifica is a foodie’s paradise! It ain’t cheap but damn! it’s worth it!!

I have been to Pacifica 3 times – the first two were amazing – some of the best food I have had in NZ – totally wanted to lick the plate!!! Unfortunately the third time Mr Rameka was in hospital so the B team was in charge – the uncooked food in the degustation was great – but the seasoning in the cooked food was a bit disappointing (oversalted or underseasoned). note to self – Make sure Mr Rameka is on duty when returning.. and we will!

I am sorry to hear that one of our regular guests had an experience which was not up to their expectations nor our usual standards. I can assure you that there has only been one time that my husband has not been at work – and he was indeed in the hospital. One…

I have been to Pacifica Restaurant twice and the service and food has been excellent both times. Great place to chill out or have a romantic dinner for two.

Exquisite fine dining, with superb service. The owners really know their stuff and work very hard to deliver. A dream experience.

Myself and a friend went there for my birthday in September and were very pleasantly surprised by the food and surrounding. i am a chef myself and have never dined out like that before, it was beautiful, i cannot speck more highly of the place

Great service, great food and excellent wine cellar. Would highly recommend tasting course with selected wines – high on protein and taste, included tuna, snapper, rabbit, goat, venison cheese if you wished and finished off with the best citrus souffle I’ve had.

Tonight we died and went to heaven! We had anticipated Pacifica was going to be a wonderful dining experience, but it went far beyond. The positives are too many to mention. The food was extraordinarily inventive, creative and simply delicious. The amount of time and effort that must into daily prep in the kitchen must be immense. We had the quail and the snapper, both of which were divine. We loved the service. These are lovely people, passionate about the food. The atmosphere was relaxing and the decor very classy. Yes, the prices are expensive, but it’s worth every cent.
