MAPU test Kitchen

No opening hours, no menu, no complications

Mapu is an experimental kitchen, not a restaurant. It's a creative outlet for Chef Giulio Sturla to try new things, and he welcomes you to join him in his discoveries. At Mapu, you'll be served in-season and locally-sourced food, cooked right in front of you by Giulio. You'll hear the stories about where the food comes from, who's responsible for growing and harvesting it, and how Giulio devised the recipes you'll enjoy.

Here at Mapu Test Kitchen we are all about sharing the stories behind the people, the ingredients, our foraging vision and the natural environment that surrounds us here on the Banks Peninsula. Our menu is based around 5 courses plus snacks, a true “Trust de Chef” experience that changes with the seasons and with what nature offers to Giulio.

Join us, with up to only five others, for an intimate dining experience you'll never forget
