Hi Kelly, A big thank you to you and the staff for your hospitality on the night we visited! I’m still grateful that we were able to be squeezed in on the night and our meals at Fleur’s Place were easily some of the most memorable on our entire trip.

[...] fried white bait with aioli $14I’d first really gotten into white bait on my trip to New Zealand last year, there’s just something innately satisfying about biting into a freshly fried fish [...]

Good to see that you made the effort to go to Fleurs. I regularly drive for seven hours to go there for lunch or dinner (the scenery helps pass the time). Besides the seagulls you will often see seals and sealions on the rocks beside the restaurant. Part of what makes Fleur’s seafood so amazing is that she actually owns the fishing quota and also most of the vegetables are grown on friends farms.
Rick Stein actually flew out to NZ to film a show specifically about her.
Everyone who loves food should visit her restaurant.

Fleur’s Place is a place that I was so anguished at missing out on visiting on our last trip! Love the picture of the treacle tart and the food looks as great as I’ve heard it is!

Helen: haha yeh I felt really silly when I looked up blackboy, I think that variety must be really common over in NZ, I saw it on a few menus. hehe @ painting

billy: Whitebait yuummm! Haha the flowers were adorable!

abercrombie: Yeh, I’d never heard of mutton bird before, I think it can be a great dish like quail, but after all the seafood it wasn’t what we were after I think, nothing bad against the dish itself.

Simon: Thanks dude, I definitely thought it was worth the effort. Super glad we went out of our way for it.

Betty: You’ll love it! Let me know if you’re headed towards Christchurch and I’ll give you a couple of recs.

campgrenada: Haha, yeh the boulders are in Moeraki, but they’re probably about 10 mins drive from the restaurant? In my first pic bottom left, that’s a pic of the boulders (I wasn’t all that impressed to be honest!)

coffeeaddict: I really adored the personality of the place, everyone that worked there was really friendly too.

Y: Glad it reminded you of something good, it was heaps more beautiful than I’d anticipated.

Adrian: Bread and butter pudding! I think if I could only ever eat one dessert it would be B&BP (and ice-cream!).

Reemski: Thanks reems!

FFichiban: Haha there’s no way we could’ve finished off that much food. Is whitebait a HK thing? My friends were saying that too, but I don’t think we use it much for Viet cooking.

Jacq: Thank you very much

I love New Zealand.. the scenery especially. Have such great memories of trips there, and all your wonderful pictures have certainly brought a few of those back to mind.

Moeraki is where the boulders are right? I don’t see any pics of the boulders though ….

Looks a great breakfast place for sure. Love the tin shed look too.

Wow, some really, really nice photos. Especially love the seagull action shot.

The food looks really good at that place. I presume well worth the effort?

Would you equate the effort of eating titi to that of having chicken feet?

whitebait omelette,…. HELLO!!!! Fleur’s Place reminds me of a seafood restaurant in Isle of Skye, where Pete also bought their recipe book back home for me too! I just love the attention to details on each dish, simply put a flower on it looks so much yuummier

wow, looks like Fleur’s Place was worth the trek (and how lovely that they managed to squeeze you in!). the scallops sound delicious and i love the deep golden tinge to the bread and butter pudding. i never knew that blackboys were peaches either.

the whitebait omelette does look a little daunting at first and wow, those last two photos – i thought they were paintings! featuring you of course
