My first time here for dinner. And I very quickly realised that it is not really a dinner place. It’s more like a wine bar. And they serve you food / tappas but the price for the serving size is astronomical. I had the eye fillet for 28$ and this was a tiny piece of steak cut into 4 pieces approx. also had prawn dumplings 4 for 22$. And last crab which was battered 2 pieces for 27$. A drink for 19$. Taste wise it was ok, nothing special to be honest. There are better places in napier for a similar price range where not only one feels full but for this price gets a proper meal. Total bill 96$ and then I had to go have a burger to fill me self up : Unfortunately this is not a dinner place, more of a snack place and that too extremely expensive. I would not recommend it !!
I had been eyeing this place up. The menu looked fantastic and it certainly delivered. The South American beef and the Tuna were our favourites. The staff were very friendly, attentive, passionate and knowledgeable. The drinks were great, something a little different. The best thing was definitely how personable the staff were.
We are visiting from Melbourne and we love this place. We been there two nights in a row. Once for Dinner and the next day for after dinner drinks. Awesome venue. Great atmosphere. Yummy tapas style food - easy to share. Amazing huge wine list. Lovely friendly knowledgeable staff. The German and British bar tenders are awesome, serving some really Innovative cocktails. The music is great too. A must to check out. Napier should be very happy to have Matisse Wine Bar.
Highlight of dining experience at Matisse while staying in Napier. Nils German and the British waiter & waitress pardon me that I cannot remember your names are awesome. They make the whole dining experience to another levels. Great food, super delicious cocktails, welcoming ambience and very personal services. Exceptional and Sensational!
Excellent cocktails. Black and white and the slice of white are to die for. Great service as well. Did not order a platter but looked lovely as well… these guys are nailing it!!!
Fantastic vibe and superb wine list/selection - the staff were really friendly too. Will definitely visit next time we visit Napier.
We had the soft shell, pork belly , eye fillet and dumplings and all were a 5 star and flawless, unique flavours, great presentation and textures. The ambience and atmosphere was great, the staff amazing with good vibes. Highly recommend
Just a great place to eat and drink. Right vibe, good service but equally low key. Visually pleasing, ambient setting without being pretentious. Expect to spend upwards of $100 for two people, with no regrets whatsoever.
A fabulous place to spend an evening!! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, beautiful selection of wine and the yummiest choices of dairy free snacks!! Perfect end to a lovely day.
What a gem! We had a lovely early dinner and wine here. The wait staff couldn't have been more attentive and knowledgeable. The Tapas were well priced, fresh and delicious. We took my 7 month old baby and they were so accommodating. Highly recommend.
