Ranked #1 of 30 Restaurants in Russell
Price range: ₱872 - ₱2,791
Description: We do not have to look far for inspiration at Sage, our restaurant at Paroa Bay Winery. From the end of the fishing line cast into the Bay of Islands to the orchard doors of our suppliers, our locally grown and sourced ingredients combine seamlessly into a refreshingly creative New Zealand take on Sustainable coastal cuisine. With a broad-ranging menu that features some of the freshest and most revered offerings from the ocean, and some of New Zealand’s world-renowned farming produce — our chefs work to strike the perfect balance between creative flair and allowing their ingredients to be savoured as they are. And with all dishes thoughtfully matched from wines directly from our very own cellar door, the culinary experience is full-circle. It is our considered and intuitive approach that pervades the restaurant at Sage, from the kitchen through the front of house.

Sage presents an intersting and professional menu. Excellent food. The starter of soughdough toasts, creme fraiche with somked broadbill was excellent. As was the gnocchi. Mains were fish and risotto. Best of all was the restaurant pickup and delivery from / to Russell. Sage is a beautiful restaurant, and the staff are very professional. Thoroughly recommend.

The place is awesome and the foods is very delicious! The Host is very charming and accommodating despite us changing our booking without prior info. She also gave us the birthday candle for hubby dessert. Highly recommended

Gorgeous Views in a vineyard restaurant - food was extremely good, beautifully presented, very friendly staff and quite crowded even on a week day. Good wine too.

What an outstanding restaurant. The food was superb, top of the range delicacies and the views of the Bay of Islands were exceptional.
