Local Dining Recommendations in Greytown

Saluté Tapas, Restaurant and Bar’s robust flavours, influenced by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, never fail to impress – similarly so the Alfresco dining shaded by old oaks in the stunning courtyard terrace. On the sunny deck overlooking Main Street or inside, the tapas bar and restaurant draws on over 14 years of history to create a one-of-a-kind dining experience.

Authentic artisan pastries and breads baked in true French fashion await the adventurous diner at Best Wairarapa Café award winner, The French Baker. International foods including baguettes, croissants, croustades and danishes are re-created with fresh New Zealand ingredients, and Allpress coffee is served by friendly staff amidst comfortable seating and peaceful surroundings.

A Greytown mainstay for over 20 years, the Main Street Deli underwent a substantial renovation in 2015, bringing a whole new lease of life to one of the Village’s finest eating establishments. Well versed chef, Lufi, is assisted by two additional expert chefs, a talented baker and artisan deli pie maker to craft the exciting menu selections. Salads are also a popular lunch takeaway.

Al fresco dining at La Pancetta’s olive courtyard offers a touch of Italy in the heart of the village. Ten years spent in Italy training chefs and opening six restaurants guarantees an authentic Italian gastronomic experience, from traditional style salumi products (cured meats), to tasty Pig Parts made from happy New Zealand pigs, to preserves crafted from local organic goods.

Food Forest Organics produce and Grocery store stocks a variety of specialised Organic products and produce. Since opening in early 2015, Food Forest Organics has catered to a growing base of discerning customers who have a focus on healthy food with a reduced environmental impact. Come for lunch and have a delicious salad made with organic fresh produce with sourdough bread. Try a cashew nut cheesecake, or a green smoothie full of goodness.
