Service was really great! Especially Valentine who took care of our table. I liked the starters, pulled beef fries than the main course. We ate Schnitzel which was alright for main course. Fine dine restaurant was fully pre-booked, so we have to manage it in the bar downstairs.
Wonderful services and attention to detail by the staff. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a good steak in New Plymouth. A perfect place to take your family/friends for a special treat or celebration. The menu had a good selection of dishes. The meal is pricy 😉, but worth it....
Epicurean experience! Don't take your kids unless they have a well refined palate, instead visit Fredericks which has a more relaxed menu and shares the same kitchen. Fine dining at its best.
Great night! Mussels were the nicest thing ever!

Our visit to Meat and Liquor Steakhouse, New Plymouth started with the glass of a very special Triennes rose wine. It was like this invisible border between summer and autumn in a glass. Do you know that they harvest the grapes for this organic wine at night so the delicate product arrives to the winery without being heated. And the pressing starts in few hours for the same reason. And the whole process of fermentation also goes in a low temperature. So it is a very cool wine by all means.
It was accompanied with duck breast with butternut purée, pork jowl with calvados mushrooms pâté, blue cod with fennel, celeriac and caviar. There were also sides of carrots cooked several ways and black garlic mushrooms.
The menu was exquisite and well balanced. It felt like visiting one of the old restaurants somewhere in Europe, situated in a castle with a dungeon turned into a wine cellar.

Good quality food and helpful staff. Being a vegetarian I was a bit worried but limited choice but good flavours. Risotto was very tasty initially with his flavour and textures but became very bland after a while as it was the same thing for each mouthful. Personal moan risotto should be a side dish not a main course. I usually never have dessert but was tempted by the bread and butter pudding. Very glad I did. It was delicious.
All was perfect, as usual ... The food was delicious and the team was present with a big smile and usual care. Atmosphere was very good as well. Many thanks and see you next time!
If you're looking for a treat while in new Plymouth, I recommend coming here!
We both got a main each and a side of coleslaw to share and it was the perfect amount of food!
Service was great, both the girls working we super friendly and helpful
Great food and service. The lamb shoulder was so good! Staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
Hands down the best meal I have eaten. I had the chefs choice menu that sampled 7 courses. I couldn’t quite make it to the last but our lovely waitress made sure we took home our last course. Wonderful service and brilliant food. Perfect.
If you are wanting exceptional food & service look no further. The flavours are amazing, combination of good quality ingredients are not your usual run of the mill. Nothing can be faulted. I just wish this restaurant was in my local neighbourhood! It is hands down the best meal we have eaten. We have previously eaten in some well known high end restaurants & Meat & Liquor is well above them.
The meat was exceptional, had the spare rib. Best I’ve ever had. Went back the next night and it was just as good as I remembered.
If your after an epic meal, packed full of flavour with excellent service then this is your place.
Eye fillet was tender and the duck was absolutely mouth watering.
Will definitely be back 👍
I highly recommend this place for anything xxx I'm so satisfied with the taste, the texture, the flavors.
The food definately reflects the price. You will leave this place absolutely satisfied.
We ordered x2 sides, x2 bites, x2 Main courses (for 2 pp) very very filling indeed.
The service is amazing. Staff are very kind. Thank you guys xxx
The beef ribs were exceptional! Steaks were not bad either. The only observation was that the service could've been slightly more attentive.
Guided by our delightful host Dan, we loved every part of our dining experience. He helped us choose wine to suit our meals, which were outstanding. As new parents with a grumpy baby in toe, a lovely waitress we met downstairs came up and successfully settled bub while we finished our meals. Highly recommend M&L for it's excellent food, friendly hospitality and ambient atmosphere.
