Our first time cracking into the 2 hat club last night at @cuisinemagazine Good Food Awards, and stoked to pick up the Innovation Award as well! Thank you to Cuisine for recognising all the hard work we put in, and to our team for helping us pull off the ultimate magic trick that is a restaurant. 💖
Restaurant of the Year!!!!!! 🫨 Best Smart Dining, Best Dessert, and Runner-up Best Chef @plabitaflorence ! 🤯 We're so proud of our little restaurant. A huge thank you to the team @metromagnz and to the extended Forest family, past and present, it wouldn't be the same without all of you. We do what we do because we love it, and we're just stoked when other people love it too. 🤎👍
It might be Monday morning, but it's never too early to start planning your next almond negroni! Made with Suze, Disaronno, Lillet Blanc, and infused with roasted almonds and sea salt. 🥃
Pumpkin pie rice pud, salted maple ice cream, burnt sugar walnuts. 🎃 Made using cured Gisborne squash and proper Canadian maple syrup in a can - sourced direct from their motherland by some of our favourite customers. 🤗💌🍁
Smoked purple kūmara, red pepper molé, jalapeño cream, and crushed peanuts. 🍠
Molé is a traditional Mexican sauce and this is our very untraditional version featuring roasted nuts, seeds, spices, chillies, tiny Coromandel bananas and @weavecacao dark chocolate.
