New Winter Menus for Plume Vineyard Restaurant & Café

Think of a beautiful crisp winter’s day, sitting outside with the sun shining down, taking in the stunning vista of vineyards and Matakana countryside, and you will immediately think of Plume Vineyard Restaurant and Plume Café – both situated at two different locations in Matakana.   To keep people flocking to their beautiful venue, the team at Plume have come up with two fabulous new winter menus for the restaurant and for the café.

At Plume Vineyard Restaurant, the menu changes seasonally to capture the very best of seasonal produce from local purveyors, and there are vegetarian options always available. The restaurant stresses cultural diversity and new thinking, based in an essentially rural vineyard setting, and their dishes diffuse the flavours of global kitchens with New Zealand’s own traditional heritage. The restaurant menu features nibbles, a five course menu, gorgeous mains, desserts to die for and a delicious Plume Vineyard Platter for two besides a kids menu with everything cooked in house only. Atesh Ram is their award winning Chef behind the delicacies which come out of the kitchen.  Original curries from the owners – just like mum used to make at home – guests keep on coming back over and again for the same!

Similarly, with the Plume Café which is open from Tuesday to Sunday, the new winter menu includes Chicken Tagine, Lamb Burger, Asian Beef Stew, Vegetarian Lasagne and the most popular Creamy Garlicky Mushrooms on Brioche!  Plume Bakery also situated within the Café in Matakana churns out daily the most wonderful breads and the sourdoughs, rye breads and pastries have guests flocking in from Auckland over the weekends especially!

Everything is cooked slowly with heaps of love, wholesome yet with a wonderfully hearty twist, leaving you with a warm feeling on a cold winter’s day. The seafood chowder remains a firm café favourite, as does the Eggs Benedict. Plume Café’s baker, Heiko begins baking before daybreak every morning, producing the freshest, healthiest breads and pastries, using a distinctly traditional European style, popular with Kiwi taste buds.

You can buy retail pastries and breads directly from the bakery, or an amazing selection of breads, croissants, pain-au-chocolat, ciabatta and brioche, and heaps more. Plume Café has a lovely warm feeling inside, and with the fire roaring, breads in the oven and great coffee or their award winning Runner Duck wines, people travel from far and wide.
