Debbie Luen & Ian Garner
- A note about us...
- Debbie & Ian at TopSail since 2007!
- “For our guests we strive to deliver an exquisite dining experience showcasing our beautiful food in the most idyllic surrounds to create unforgettable memories. Thank you for your amazing support”
- We launched our brasserie in September 2025, our menu combining French classics with modern seasonal creations
- “We’ve chosen the essence of the brasserie and brought it to one of the best restaurant locations in New Zealand”
- New Zealand is our local. We have many relationships with local suppliers (Northland & Nationally) that allow us to use the freshest & best produce
- we take the opportunity of the seasons and change dishes regularly
- we make our own breads, pâtés, chutneys, jams, sauces, dressings & our chickens lay our eggs
- our herbs are home grown & our garden provides daily titbits
- our food is cooked to order, and we happily cater to specific dietary requirements
- we are mindful of the planet’s sustainability in all our decision making & actions
- we choose to not participate in national competitions, every night we endeavour to achieve our best performance
- our menu folders were made from recycled sail covers in 2007…and may be a bit tatty but still going strong!
- Ian dressed by Debbie!
