A Feast of Love and Tradition at Metita

Named after Michael's mother, Metita is a restaurant born from love — and there's no more fitting occasion to celebrate here than Mother's Day.

This year, Metita brings back a very special Toana'i; a Pacific Sunday feast steeped in family, memory and the flavours of home. The menu draws inspiration from her profound influence on his upbringing and honours her legacy with each dish.

This Toana'i is an invitation to join a Pacific tradition celebrated all over the world.

Includes a glass of bubbles or non-alcoholic beverage on arrival, three-course sharing menu.

From 12pm (last booking 4pm). Bookings required
