Today we have the honor to eat at Ahi. Restaurant (https://ahirestaurant.co.nz/), one of the best restaurants in all of New Zealand. Chef Ben Bayly (https://www.instagram.com/benbaylynz/) has traveled the country searching for the best ingredients and products, and learning indigenous Māori cooking, and that all comes together at this restaurant. As a country made up of many different people, what is New Zealand food? And that’s exactly what Chef Ben Bayly and his team are answering.
One of the highlight dishes was the local eel, a huge eel, which is a very traditional food source for the Māori people. And along with the eel, we also ate everything from paua (the famous New Zealand abalone) to crayfish. It was an outstanding meal!
