Table Restaurant Menu

Table Restaurant occupies the dining room at Nice Hotel, yet it is explicitly open to New Plymouth visitors as well as overnight guests. The setting shares the boutique hotel's expressive character: artwork and richly detailed interiors create a sense of occasion, while a tropical outdoor area offers a different atmosphere in suitable weather. That combination makes Table useful for a planned dinner, a celebratory meal or simply a drink and a few plates without staying at the hotel.

Chef Lukasz Zielinski leads a menu interested in both contrast and wine pairing, with restaurant manager Maggi Johnsen bringing detailed knowledge of wine, cocktails and service. Small plates show that approach clearly. Grilled halloumi is sharpened by chilli jam and pickled grapes, bruschetta carries chorizo sofrito and Manchego, and prawns meet parsnip puree with miso caramel. Beef fillet skewers add roasted garlic and anchovy butter for a deeper savoury note.

Main courses move between seafood, meat and a carefully developed vegetarian choice. Pan-seared fish is served with leeks, baby potatoes and mussel-and-chive velouté; lamb rump comes with pea and feta arancini, pumpkin and mint jus. Aged eye fillet is paired with celeriac, mushroom XO and onion ring, while panko-crumbed veal schnitzel sits beside potato-and-bacon salad. Potato gnocchi with Gruyère, spinach and hazelnut provides a rich meat-free centrepiece.

Table can also be approached more casually through olives, olive bread with smoked butter, oysters, sliders and platters for two. Desserts range from chocolate brûlée and rice pudding with spiced plums to croissant pudding, apple frangipane tart and affogato, with sweet cocktails available after dinner. Structured set menus for larger groups bring canapés, shared accompaniments and dessert into a single plan, making the restaurant adaptable for private celebrations as well as smaller tables.
