“What landed was, quite simply, the best dessert I have ever eaten. I immediately proclaimed it the dessert of my reviewing career.”

“If I had not been sitting directly in front of a dozen chefs, I would have licked this tropical island of a plate clean. I am happy to eat my dessert-loathing words; Metita has rewritten the restaurant pudding book.

Metita was designed as a place of discovery and connection. Amanda Stowers of Masina Creative created this ceramic mural that lives in the Metita private dining room.

This piece tells Michael Meredith's story - his journey and his connection with his late mother, Metita. You will see, for instance, the sea tern or gogo motifs signify wayfinding and navigation which represents the journey he's taken to reach this place of opening Metita. In the centre is where you'll find the actual Malu diamond motif, representing Metita herself as the matriarch and the anchor of the aiga (family) acting as shelter and protection over the space. The centre piece is the only piece that holds the Malu motif supported by a series of siapo (tapa) motifs with softer feminine curved edges.

Refined and reimagined

We want to pay homage to the traditional fare of the Pacific nations, while giving dishes a modern spin by incorporating new flavours, spices and acids to offer a shift in perspective and showcase the true potential of Pacifica cuisine.

Opening tomorrow.

A modern space that speaks to the deep connection with nature, a space that captures the essence of Pacific culture, Metita. Modern, but tranquil and speaks to the Pacific’s deep connection with nature, which is prevalent throughout our menu.
