Riverstone Kitchen

Riverstone Kitchen was established by Bevan and Monique Smith in November 2006. Built in a paddock on the family farm, 15 minutes north of Oamaru in North Otago, it has defied all odds and achieved huge success. In 2010, Riverstone Kitchen was the supreme winner of Cuisine magazine’s coveted Restaurant of the Year award and put its name firmly on the map!

Bevan and Monique believe that the same high standards recognized in first-class restaurants can and should, be utilized anywhere in the world. They endeavour to use that approach in all aspects of Riverstone Kitchen and with this philosophy, their reputation continues to grow. Bevan strongly believes in cooking with only the freshest and best seasonal ingredients and is passionate about local product and ethically produced food.
