On the dessert menu – panna cotta with Lewis Road Creamery milk and locally foraged fig leaf which brings a beautifully unique earthy flavour to the classic.
We’re beyond lucky here in Aotearoa that some of the world’s best produce grows right on our doorstep. At Esther, we take full advantage: building close, direct relationships with our growers so every tomato, and vibrant herb that hits the plate has a story, a season, and a touch of care behind it. Every dish is a nod to the flavours of the land, the season, and the people who grow it.
