Small is beautiful, and had economist E.F. Schumacher’s focus been of 
a culinary nature, he would have appreciated Mint Dining Room as 
an intimate culinary experience not easily found elsewhere.

From an iconic 19th century cottage within the quiet city fringe of Nelson, 
with a maximum seating of just 28, it has garnered notoriety with discerning 
diners since quietly opening towards the end of 2009.

With a passion for fine food, using only the freshest of local ingredients and combining them 
with internationally award winning culinary expertise to make dining out an occasion. 
A stellar wine list, including vintages carefully selected from vineyards locally and abroad.
