Words Kate Preece Corn-fed chicken breast with pearl barley risotto and wild mushrooms world away from the stresses of the city, A Terrace Downs Resort is a destination not only for golfers and wedding parties, but for foodies as well. With a new head chef at the helm of Hunter’s Restaurant, and The Café at Terrace Downs, now’s a great time to venture inland and experience high-end cuisine in the high country. Chef Shane Avant returns to New Zealand with a vast amount of experience gleaned from locations around the globe. While he cut his teeth at restaurants across Australia and New Zealand, his experience in luxury resorts has been honed in the Maldives at Cocoa Island by Como, as well as Fiji, where he worked for Vomo Island Resort and the Hilton. Most recently he was based in the UK, where he spent two years as the executive development chef for Living Ventures, overseeing upscale restaurant Australasia. “One of my key achievements has been opening and developing top properties throughout the South Pacific, assisting them to develop an exceptional reputation,” Shane says. Making his mark on Terrace Downs, Shane has already launched a new menu for Hunter’s Restaurant and is proud to be serving regionally-inspired cuisine to its diners. He believes in simple food that enhances the natural flavours of fresh produce and matching flavours. For an idea of just what you could be enjoying picture this: seared scallops with cauliflower puree, truffle, crisp pancetta and shaved cauliflower, followed by roasted venison loin with carrot puree, truffled potato croquette, pickled blackberries, and topped off with dark chocolate marquise with berries, honey comb and vanilla bean mascarpone… It is easy to see why foodies are all abuzz! However, it’s not just the evening options that have been given a revamp; Shane has unleashed his culinary expertise on The Café, too. And, for those looking to bring a group along, you’ll find the functions and wedding menus just as tantalising, reflecting Shane’s ethos as a chef: “My goal is to create memories and experiences that go beyond expectations,” he says. Whether it’s a long weekend staying at the resort, a day of golfing, or simply a special celebration, Terrace Downs not only delivers on stunning scenery, but food that will have you wishing you never had to leave.
