“At Morell Bistro we understand that kai is much more than food. It’s about whanau (family and friends) and oranga (health & wellbeing). How we source our ingredients matters because we are proud kaitiaki, guardians of our land. Our menu created by owner/chef Daniel from Maori/Italian decent shows you where we come from and where we are going.

Always inspired by our roots of our “familia” and manaakitanga, the Maori tradition of hospitality everything we do is presented to you with aroha care & pride.
