Absolutely stunning dishes. Highly recommend lamb tongue, chicken liver and lamb neck

Good service and great food! The lamb tongue was a particularly surprising dish and would also recommend the blooming onion. Specials of bone marrow and stuffed chicken wing were good as well. Lamb neck was good but too big a portion for two to share. Would be great for bigger groups!

Incredible experience at Muttonbird. Amazing ingredients which are in season with each dish full of flavour and textures. There’s a touch of different cuisines in a number of dishes which makes it such a great experience. Would definitely return again!

My family ordered the Muttonbird Mix and the special dish - king head. High quality ingredients and different spices are used to create unique and interesting flavours. The food is beautifully platted, delectable and in generous portions. It is absolutely worth the price. The atmosphere, quality of food and services are excellent and far exceed my expectations. The chefs and staff are very friendly. Our family had a great time and definitely will go again when we are in Wanaka.

Let me tell you, Muttonbird is a pretty special dining experience. I love to eat out and this is the first time I’ve been really surprised by the food in a while. (In a good way.) The creativity of the dishes blows me away, along with the fantastic flavours that catches you by surprise while also avoiding the common trap of presenting an overly complicated flavour profile.I ordered the kingfish head seasoned with turmeric and curry leaves, stracciatella cheese with mushrooms, and custard with strawberries and ginger (in shaved ice! I think…). I absolutely loved everything and the best part is the meal was surprisingly affordable. Where I’m from, a comparable dining experience would easily be $100+ CAD. I paid $55 CAD. Wow…

My husband and I went there for dinner tonight on our last night in Wanaka and we absolutely love it! I have a small appetite so between us, we ordered the Muttonbird sourdough and the lamb tongue starter plus the lamb neck main to share. Everything was so on point! I love sourdough and the bread had a great texture. It was my husband's and my first time trying lamb tongue and lamb neck and we were both blown away by how soft and tender the meat is, and how good the flavours came together in each dish. We definitely would recommend Muttonbird to anyone who visits Wanaka and will be more than happy to dine here again when we get the chance.

We absolutely had an amazing time yesterday at Muttonbird ! Online reviews were so good that i had to try it and really glad I did ! Everything was so fresh, flavorful, well balanced, I litteraly have no complaints about anything, it was just perfection. It’s clearly the best restaurant experience we had in New Zealand !

Amazing dinner at Muttonbird, we did the trust the chef option, we had 7 starters/snack plates, lamb neck main and a lovely dessert. The setting is relaxed, the service is great, our waitress Lucy was lovely. The food is absolutely top notch, the wine list and beer are superb, we'll be back next time we are in Wanaka without doubt!

We had a great dining experience at Muttonbird! The waitstaff knew the dishes inside out and could make specific recommendations based on our preferences. The food is all designed for sharing which is a bit tricky for us because only one of us is vegan but it still worked out okay. We ordered the chickpea tofu entree, blooming onion, zucchini dish, vegan pumpkin main and the half chicken. Standout dishes were the vegan pumpkin (perhaps one of the most well constructed dishes I've ever had in terms of flavour, drool!) and the chicken which was cooked to perfection. The zucchini and pineapple dish was also surprisingly tasty. The blooming onion was really cool and tasty too. The only thing that was underwhelming was the tofu which lacked flavour or seasoning. Overall we had an epic dinner and I'd highly recommend it to others.
