The Oyster Inn is a restaurant, bar, private room, beach shop, take-away and small luxury boutique hotel rolled into one. Located in the heart of Oneroa Village, the Oyster Inn is just 40 minutes from downtown Auckland. At the Oyster Inn’s restaurant we serve honest, simple dishes made with the very best local produce. Our chef Cristian Hossack (formerly head chef at London’s Providores) and his experienced team are obsessed with the provenance of everything we serve – so it’s ideal that we’re located on Waiheke Island, which provides us with bountiful supplies of almost everything we need. Local fishing boats catch our fish. Our raw bar is stocked with the island’s delectable Te Matuku oysters (as well as others from the region), and our vegetables are grown especially for us by local gardeners. We’re also proud to support a wide range of artisanal New Zealand food producers, including lamb from our own Taranaki family farm, Te Rahui. The maximum table reservation is 8 a la carte. We have an abridged menu for groups of 9 or more. The Oyster Inn’s private dining space, The Pearl Room, is the perfect place for your special occasion, with grandstand views of Oneroa Bay.
