About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
At Hazel, believe hospitality is an act of care, not performance, heartfelt, generous, and intentional in every detail.

Our menu follows the seasons, produce driven and sourced with a considerate, ethical hand, because nourishing people properly starts with respecting what feeds them. There's a maternal warmth to how we look after people here: the instinct to nurture, to notice what someone needs before they ask for it, and to treat comfort as a necessity rather than an indulgence.

Colour and brightness run through everything we do, on the plate, in the room, in the way a space should feel alive rather than muted. We hold space for celebration, for the milestones and quiet Tuesdays alike, as an occasion venue that flexes from everyday comfort to the nights that matter.

We simply do things properly, with heart, and let that be enough.

    Restaurant was not busy. Our empty plates and glasses not cleared. Waited 30 minute for drinks offerings. Food was not worth the bill

    Had a great time here! The place is really wonderful and feels very romantic. The food was amazing and delicious, and the staff really took the time to walk us through the menu. I should’ve booked a seat in front of the open kitchen that would’ve been so cool to watch the chefs cook. An amazing experience, wonderful staff, and an incredible menu. I'm still thinking about it!

    Great place to eat as a group, I enjoyed sample the various options and it was definitely designed for sharing. It felt almost like we had sat around the farm table.
