The MICHELIN Guide just landed in New Zealand, and we’re on a mission to eat our way through as much of it as possible. Over five days, we join four widely celebrated chefs from across Southeast Asia on a journey across the North and South Islands, to find out what makes New Zealand’s food scene worth travelling for. Come along with us as we dine at newly awarded MICHELIN-starred restaurants in Auckland and Christchurch, meet the amazing chefs and producers behind them, and discover all the stunning landscapes, vineyards and cultural experiences that the country has to offer.
