Our Restaurant

COME AND EXPERIENCE THE VERY BEST OF WAIHEKE ISLAND HOSPITALITY AT THE HEKE. WE’RE WHĀNAU-FRIENDLY, SO BRING THE WHOLE GANG TO EAT, PLAY, AND LAUGH WITH US.

We love cooking with fire! Our huge wood-fired grill and Italian wood fired pizza oven bring out the freshest flavours. With both indoor and outdoor kitchens, you can watch as your food is prepared before your eyes. There’s plenty of options with a big sharing menu or snacks if you only have time for a quick bite. Meet our chefs and discover their kai philosophy in this recent blog post.  Whether it’s from the garden, the sea, or thoughtfully raised meats, the New Zealand barbecue has never looked or tasted better.

Looking for things to do on Waiheke? The Heke is also the proud home of our own ‘Heke’ lager and Waiheke Whisky. Join us to taste some of the island’s best locally made brews and spirits, crafted right here.

Our Waiheke Island bar is the heart of The 'HEKE, where you can order drinks and food at your own pace, making split-bill stress a thing of the past. Prefer to settle in at your table or in the garden? We have the latest tech at each table for easy ordering and paying in moments.

“Our dream for The 'HEKE Kitchen is to bring a new style of casual delicious food to Waiheke.”
