Book a tableFive or six dishes a night, built around what's good at the market that morning.
Bread and cultured butter, oysters when they're running, a changing vegetable plate. Order two or three between the table.
Fish landed that morning, a slow-cooked lamb dish, and one vegetarian main every night. Portions built for sharing sides.
A short list of Hawke's Bay and Central Otago wines, poured by the glass. Dessert changes weekly, ask what's on.
Rata opened on Tennyson Street in 2018, four tables at a time until we found our feet. Chef Mia Sinclair runs the pass, buying most of the produce herself.
We would rather do six dishes well than twenty averagely. If it isn't good enough to serve family, it doesn't go on the menu.
