Malabar Restaurant
Malabar Restaurant Review
Looking out toward Conical Hill, this restaurant has a fine reputation for its Asian-fusion food presented with Kiwi flair. Dinner favorites are the five-spice crackling pork belly, lamb rack with a garam masala gravy, duck confit with limeleaf and a peanut mash, and a trio of Indian curries served on a traditional thali. Their passionfruit and coconut creme brulee is a treat. They are also open for breakfast and lunch
