New Zealand could be forgiven for being in the list of absentees when London was exploring world gastronomy because Kiwi Kitchen now brings out the true taste of 'god's own country.' Owners Matt Jans and Julia Caesar have created a unique menu of traditional Maori dishes whose recipes were passed down from one generation to another.

Answering the prayers of homesick kiwis, the starters section offers choices such as New Zealand green lip mussels with smoked kelp mornay and creamy roast pumpkin soup with flax seed oil and toasted Maori bread. The horipoto lamp chump Wellington is served with kumara mash, buttered savoy and merlot jus for mains. Desserts make an interesting read - think hokey pokey ice cream terrine with a real New Zealand chocolate fish and banana caramel.

Cocktail connoisseurs will be pleased with the signature kiwi kiss made from 42 below feijoa vodka and schnapps. Beers include Macs Gold, Speights and Monteiths original.
