Jais Aben

Sourced in New Zealand but inspired by Europe, Jais Aben is where two worlds meet for a culinary fiesta like no other.

Near and contemporary with unbelievable views over the ocean, Jais Aben is really special. Once the candles are lit and the dark indigo blanket settles over the sky, Jais Aben turns into the most romantic destination in town. Come summer, all the doors and windows are open to let in the warm breeze whilst winter offers diners the opportunity to take shelter and warm themselves with the warmth of European food and hospitality.

Now that you're in Europe, you are invited to kick back and relax with some nibbles alongside your first glass of wine. Enjoy rich flavours and crispy textures with the duck croquettes, creamy goodness with the pork and chicken terrine, and the very best of the local catch with market crudo topped with tangy capers.

Mains lean into grilled flavours. The very best steaks from Canterbury are dressed up to the nines with scalloped potatoes, seasonal greens and a sauce of your choice. Other mains enjoy other locally sourced meat with the likes of lamb rack, pork belly and clam linguine. As for something sweet, Europe steps it up with lemon tart and a devilishly decadent chocolate cake covered in glossy ganache. It's the tastiest of continents.
