Norfolk Island – a foodie’s paradise

Norfolk Island may be famous for Mutiny on the Bounty, but its fast gaining a reputation for nature’s bounty as well – an abundance of fresh, seasonal produce that local chef’s craft into vibrant, flavourful dishes.
Many ingredients are picked and delivered to local restaurants and cafés the very same day, ensuring unbeatable freshness and flavour. Here, paddock to plate isn’t a trend – it’s a way of life.
There’s no shortage of cafes and restaurants where you can enjoy the many flavours of Norfolk Island. But for an immersive culinary experience that tells the story of this South Pacific paradise, a food tour promises a night you won’t soon forget.
The talented chefs of Governors Lodge are showcasing their skills in two new food tours designed to excite, inspire and, most importantly, satisfy your hunger.
Island Feast
Inspired by Norfolk Island’s rich Pitcairn Islander heritage, the Island Feast tour takes you on a culinary journey from the traditional ahima’a (dirt oven) cooking method to the island’s modern paddock-to-plate way of life. This is more than a meal – it’s an immersive dining experience steeped in history, culture and authentic local flavours.
The venue is set in the lush valleys surrounding Governor’s Lodge, where you’ll enjoy a three-course feast crafted to reflect the true essence of Norfolk Island, accompanied by lively local entertainment.
The Island Feast operates Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5.45pm to 9pm.
The Intimate Table

Each course is paired with a hand-selected wine, chosen to perfectly complement the dish and elevate every bite. As you dine, stories of the island’s heritage and heartwarming hospitality unfold, making the evening as memorable as the food itself.
