Fluers Place

The fish here is always a great choice, you can't get it anywhere else. The cooking here is not based on quantity but on the best way to cook the fish. The prices are high but worth it!

FLEURS PLACE restaurant is rated as the best seafood restaurant in South Island. LP commented on it like this: If you are hungry here, but don’t go to Fleur’s for dinner, it is a crime! The owner Fleur Sullivan is said to be a national treasure chef in New Zealand and has even published a book. The restaurant’s menu is based on the seafood caught from the sea every day, which is very fresh. It is best to book a seat in advance.

The seafood is absolutely fresh, and we went here because of its reputation. We are still a little unaccustomed to Western food, so we did not give it the highest score. A Chinese waiter introduced us to the ingredients caught that day, and recommended flounder and seafood soup, which was a bit too much for two people. The restaurant environment is unique, with a message wall full of compliments in Chinese and English. During the meal, the boss lady asked each table if they were satisfied.

According to netizens, this is the freshest place to eat seafood in South Island. Following the navigation, we drove into a small hillside from the main road. The road was not easy to drive, and finally we drove to a small fishing village. There was a gravel road parking lot next to the cabin. There were many messages on the wall of the restaurant, and there were many diners. The restaurant actually had Chinese waiters who could speak Chinese directly. They introduced us to the ingredients caught that day and recommended flounder to us. The fish was indeed very fresh, and the mussels were also delicious. The proprietress was a white-haired grandmother who enthusiastically asked everyone how they felt at each table. Anyway, you can go and experience it when you have time.

We went there after reading the reviews. Maybe because we went early, we didn't have to wait for a table. However, there were no seats left inside the restaurant, so we could only use the terrace. We were happy to do so because the weather was good. We could also see the sea from the terrace, which was very nice.
