Menu’s

At The Landing Restaurant, we believe great food starts with fresh ingredients and thoughtful preparation. Our menus are crafted seasonally, using local and regional produce wherever possible, so every dish reflects the best of what’s available — and what’s truly delicious.

From starters to desserts, every meal is prepared from scratch by our talented kitchen team, who take pride in delivering flavourful, approachable dishes inspired by modern New Zealand cuisine. Whether you’re after something classic with a twist, or keen to try something new, our menu offers something for everyone.

True to The Riverhead’s long-standing tradition of unpretentious Kiwi hospitality, we’re here to make sure your dining experience is welcoming, relaxed and genuinely satisfying — just as it’s always been.
