Orphans Kitchen

This country’s land is raw, diverse and powerful.

Two seas are our sandwich, and the adventurous may visit both coasts in less than a day, confronted with dramatic landscape changes as they go. All this from a little island country floating in the Pacific.

Orphans Kitchen on Ponsonby Road lives within these landscapes, and remains faithful to a place that has so much edible love to give.

The kitchen looks to the bush, the ocean, the orchards, the fjords and the plains as tools for exploring national flavours and identity.

The desserts at Orphans Kitchen change regularly, but satisfaction is always consistent.

This is how expressions on the plate are teased out, ones that express the nuances of our Oceania home.
