For almost four decades, the Cuisine Good Food Guide has helped New Zealanders discover exceptional places to dine. As always, the complete list of restaurants featured in the 2026 Cuisine Good Food Guide are announced ahead of the Cuisine Good Food Awards which have been setting the bar for excellence for two decades. We want the Cuisine Good Food Guide to reflect that energy by recognising excellence as we discover it. Tickets for the Cuisine Good Food Awards 2026 are available here. An important component of the Cuisine brand is the New Zealand Cuisine Good Food Awards.
