Cork & Crown Restaurant

Everyone knows the turquoise building in Amberley. But did you know it also houses one of the best restaurants in the area? Well, now you do.

Welcome to Cork & Crown Restaurant in The Amberley Hotel, a homey and relaxed destination that flows with the more relaxed pace of South Island life. The cosy dining room is intimate and homey, allowing diners to choose between group-friendly booths or partitioned bistro tables with added privacy. Wonderfully down to earth and with plenty of style, Cork & Crown lives a perfectly balanced life.

The menu heralds Kiwi cuisine, featuring some of the finest local produce around and pairing it with thoughtful sides with plenty of flavours. You’ll find chargrilled ribeye steak nestled next to triple cooked chips, roasted mushrooms and a rich jus, slow cooked pork belly with spiced red cabbage and fish and chips with a mountain of fries and tartare sauce.

Good, honest food deserves a delicious, sweet follow-up act. That’s where the weekly cheesecakes, sticky date puddings and warm chocolate brownies come in, all resplendent in a number of glossy sauces and fruits. Amberley’s favourite local, Cork & Crown knows how to do the Kiwi things well and make life sweet!
