Property Profiles

The Nourish Group includes 10 properties, each with its own distinct brand and character. The group is collectively owned by Richard Sigley, Brian Fitzgerald and Simon Gault.

Shed 5
Queens Wharf, Wellington
Reservations: 04 499 9069

Shed 5 occupies one of the oldest wharf stores in Lambton Harbour. A water's edge position and in-house fishmonger contribute to its standing as Wellington's premier seafood restaurant.

Getting his hands on the best, freshest seafood available is top priority for Shed 5's fishmonger, who visits the fish markets early each morning to select the day's ingredients. Fish are always bought whole and filleted at the restaurant in a purpose-built room.

When the sun is shining, Shed 5's dining area expands to include an outdoor deck with magnificent views of Wellington Harbour.

Euro
Shed 22 Princes Wharf Auckland
Reservations: 09 309 9866

Sitting comfortably on the knife edge of innovation, Euro's mission is to keep New Zealand in step with global food directions. The restaurant can claim many firsts in the local hospitality scene, including first to bring Alaskan King Crab and Atlantic scallops to Auckland. Most notably, Euro became the first-ever New Zealand restaurant to make the world's top 50 in Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

For Euro, the Nourish Group conceived an upmarket-yet-relaxed brasserie enhanced by a darkly elegant interior and a garnish of Philippe Starck furniture. Superb outdoor-indoor flow makes the most of waterfront views and the restaurant's traffic-free position.

The Jervois Steak House & Saloon
Reservations: 09 376 2049

Respect for the genre, following considerable US research, inspired Richard Sigley and Simon Gault to create New Zealand's only true steak house. Jervois exists to showcase meat, in all its finest forms, and the supplier list reads like a who's who of premium beef and lamb producers.

At Jervois you can discover the difference between grass fed and grain fed. You can also get acquainted with imported delicacies such as Black Angus, which is used for the restaurant's signature slow-roasted prime rib (pre-ordering is essential).

Pasha Lounge
Shed 22 Princes Wharf Auckland
Reservations: 09 355 0077

With an award-winning décor, a captivating cocktail list (including the famous Pasha Ice Tea) and designer beers on tap, Pasha is a relaxing oasis at end the day or the beginning of a big night out.

Festooned with comfy silk cushions and rich fabrics, the sumptuous interior has private nooks for tête-à-têtes, as well as larger spaces for party gatherings. The wide outdoor patio makes the most of Pasha's traffic-free Princes Wharf position. A Gault-designed tapas menu provides tasty grazing.

Pravda
107 Customhouse Quay, Wellington 
Reservations: 04 801 8858

Set in the heart of the city amidst the hustle and bustle of share traders, commuters and tourists, Pravda moves serenely from breakfast through to lunch, and then on to elegant night dining and late suppers. Between times, it performs the function of cult café.

Pravda's globally-influenced bistro menu, towering vaulted ceilings, Russian presidential portraits and crystal chandeliers conspire to create an atmosphere that's totally enchanting.

Greenroom
Auckland: Shed, 22, Princes Wharf, beside Euro. Phone 362 0776
Wellington: Queens Wharf, behind Shed 5. Phone 04 916 4258

With prime wharf locations in both Auckland and Wellington, Greenroom is a place to rest and recover between acts. Bar staff are skilled in the art of fine cocktail-making and are known to make a perfect Mojito with speed. Interior styling borrows from Soho in London and New York, but the waterfront outlook and relaxed atmosphere are strictly New Zealand.

Danny Doolans
204 Quay Street, Auckland 
Reservations: 09 358 2554

Danny's, as it's affectionately known, is Auckland's most consistent live music location. Good sounds are delivered by accomplished musicians every night of the week - even Monday, when other bars are only serving canned music. There are great Irish beers on tap and the moody, dark wood interior features all kinds of interesting talking points.

As the Irish heart and soul of Viaduct Basin, Danny's has been awarded the prestigious 'James Joyce Prize'; an international accolade presented to the finest Irish pubs around the world. In the tradition of great pub food, the kitchen is known for authentic Irish Stew and an exceptional weekend roast.

O'Hagans
101-103 Customs Street West, Auckland 
Reservations: 09 363 2106

O'Hagans is Viaduct Basin's very own Irish sports bar. Patrons can enjoy a flutter with the in-house TAB and follow current sporting action on three large screens - the 25-seat Jack Daniels grandstand comes into its own when there's a big game on. O'Hagans even has it's own sporting event, the O'Hagan's 5K Fun Run Series, which encourages patrons to stretch their legs every couple of weeks.

Great views of the Viaduct Basin marina and a garden bar flowing into Market Square give this Irish sports bar a special point of difference. You'll also discover a thoroughly delicious menu - Simon Gault's influence takes this pub food to a higher level.

Bistro Lago
Hilton Lake Taupo Hotel, 80-100 Napier Taupo Highway, Taupo
Reservations: 07 378 7080

Ensconced within the Hilton Lake Taupo, Bistro Lago brings truly exceptional cuisine to the Central North Island, with an emphasis on Spanish and Italian influences.

Fabulous views of the lake and welcoming real-wood open fires complement the restaurant's inspired lunch and dinner menus, which are designed by Simon Gault. Bistro Lago has an extensive wine list with many by-the-glass options, making it easy to find a great wine match for each course.

In summer and autumn, the restaurant's sweeping balconies let you dine alfresco and soak up the magnificent volcanic scenery.
