Priceless Experience: Wood Fired Feast by Mapu & Milenta

Milenta’s retractable roof offers a very special garden oasis setting for our dining adventure which will be fuelled by the wood-fired oven and our two chefs’ experience in high-end South American cuisine.

Expect bold South American flavours, and creative surprises which diners of Giulio’s 6-seater Mapu Restaurant in Lyttleton know to expect.

Your evening will start with a choice of Cucumber Margarita cocktail, or a Mango Fizz mocktail, a sharing style feast and the music and vibes of Latin America.

About the Chefs:
Chilean-born Giulio Sturla is one of Aotearoa’s most daring culinary talents. Cuisine Good Food Awards Chef of the Year 2018, he now helms Mapu, Lyttelton’s two-hatted, six-seat test kitchen where there’s no menu and every foraged, garden-grown course surprises.

Milenta Head Chef Rory Thew brings Aotearoa and South American asado to Auckland FEAST. After years working across some of New Zealand's kitchens — from intimate chef's counters to open-fire restaurants — he now cooks open hearth at Victoria Park Market: manuka and pōhutukawa embers, native pantry, and seasonal ingredients.

Additional drinks can be ordered on the evening. Due to the nature of this event, unfortunately special dietary requirements cannot be accommodated.
