Over the past two decades, Palate has evolved but our ethos has to provide consistently excellent food paired with stunning New Zealand wine has remained the same. Chef and owner Mat McLean describes his food as “complicated simplicity”. It is produce-driven and highly innovative but not fine dining.

Our new space at SkyCity Hamilton allows you to pop in for a casual drink, linger longer over lunch, celebrate life’s occasions, or simply just enjoy great food in the heart of Hamilton.

A focus on local and seasonal produce has always been at the forefront of the cuisine at Palate. Mat says, “supporting local, often specialised producers creates a thriving food industry and inspiration for us when we change our seasonally inspired menus.”
We look forward to seeing you soon.
