Overview

If you ever find yourself in Owhango, trust me, you need to check out The Chef’s Table at Blue Duck Station. Nestled high above the rolling hills of New Zealand’s North Island, this intimate little place, with only 10 seats, oozes charm. Picture this: you’re dining at the “top of the world,” surrounded by some jaw-dropping views of the mountains. Pretty hard to beat, right?

Now, let’s talk about the food. Chef Jack? Yeah, he’s a magician with his creations. Each plate is like a little work of art, boasting flavors you didn’t even know you were missing. Seriously, they use ingredients right from their sprawling 7200-acre station—talk about fresh! Imagine biting into a dish crafted from local foraged goodies while sipping on expertly paired wines. And let’s not forget the cozy vibe; it feels like dinner at a friend’s house, but with Michelin-level cooking.

They’re only open for dinner Thursday through Sunday, and boy, you better make a reservation. It’s such a hot spot, and I can see why. The whole experience, from being greeted like royalty to that first mouthful of food, feels incredibly personal. If you’re up for it, staying overnight in their luxe cabins just tops it off. Waking up to that stunning view with a breakfast crafted by the same fine dining chef? Count me in!

So, if you’re hungry for not just a meal, but a unique experience that you’d actually want to write home about, grab your phone and book a table. You won’t regret it.
