Poivre et Sel From May 2015 to October 2023 Whitianga & Napier


 Our story started in 2015 when we opened Poivre et Sel in Whitianga, on the Coromandel Peninsula, later relocated on the iconic Marine Parade in sunny Napier, Hawkes Bay in 2019.

We are Samuel & Severine, French couple, we offered delightful dinners to our guests in an intimate, friendly and romantic atmosphere.

Our mission was to bring the best flavor on your plates, with seasonal, fresh and French cuisine.

We used our own vegetables & herbs from our garden in Clive.

Bookings were essential to enjoy the full French experience

around sumptuous meals and beautiful French wines.

We have always  supported local suppliers and listed the best Hawke's Bay wines.

We offered many memorable dinners for many years, it was unique & we are proud of what we have achieved.

Our children Morgane & Mathis who always worked with us, are now young adults, and it's time for the whole family for some new adventures.

Merci beaucoup !
