Jano Bistro

Celebrating progressive dining and a unique dining experience, we offer seasonally-inspired and innovative degustation menus that showcases the best of local New Zealand produce with a French twist. Jano bistro is a seasonally inspired restaurant.

Set amongst a beautifully restored historical cottage, diners are encouraged to explore new flavour combinations and indulge their culinary palate from our a-la-carte menu, or try our 7-course Degustation for the full Jano experience. Our menu changes regularly depicted by the best available produce and the chef's creativity.

We are a small, owner-operated bistro, and work mainly with local farms, producers and suppliers. We try to use free-range, organic and sustainably-sourced ingredients and produce where possible, and our menus can change spontaneously pending on seasonality and by what we receive in the kitchen each morning. Having a small kitchen we always keep minimal stock, which enforces the restaurant's concept of promoting freshness and innovation.

Some of our smaller suppliers only produce a very limited amount of stock, which makes Jano a little more exclusive than some other restaurants. We’re always searching for quality local ingredients and products to use in our menu, and welcome suppliers to get in touch with us!
