The Rotorua Matariki Dish Challenge and Food Trail is on now!
Taking place until Sunday, 17 July, the first-ever Rotorua Matariki Dish Challenge and Food Trail aims to highlight the unique New Zealand celebration of Matariki, along with amazing food stories.
The event encourages our Rotorua chefs to learn about the significance of this time of year and create a dish that demonstrates what Matariki means to them – whether by highlighting our indigenous ingredients, showcasing traditional Māori cooking methods and foods, telling a visual story through plating, or all of the above.
A dozen eateries, including an upmarket fish and chips shop and a takeaway burger house, have jumped at the chance to show you what they’ve got, resulting in the largest Matariki food trail in New Zealand!
Head over to www.rotoruanz.com/rotoruamatarikidishchallenge to go in the draw to win dinner for four, to the value of $200, at Barrel and Co. at Pullman Rotorua.
