Rotorua has climatic conditions that favor many berry varieties as well as kiwifruit and cherries. Solitaire’s own garden is well used by the chefs for fruit/vegetables as well as garnishes and herbs. Nearby orchards in Whakatāne and Katikati supply wider produce selections and the large Maori population gives the opportunity to present indigenous ingredients such as Kumara, Maori potatoes and edible plants. The emphasis of the evening meal at Solitaire is to present a changing tasting experience of the best seasonal vegetables served with prime New Zealand meat and fish.
