Where the harbour lights meet the evening
Netlika is a modern, Art Deco-style seaside supper club in the heart of Napier. Behind the geometric lines and warm glow of brass-toned lighting, you’ll find what matters most: seasonal New Zealand cuisine, fresh coastal seafood, a carefully curated drinks menu and leisurely evenings that tempt you to linger a little longer. We are, first and foremost, a restaurant. Everything else – live music, signature cocktails, occasional themed evenings – stems from a simple idea: delicious food, pleasant company and a dining room where you feel this is the best part of the evening.
An Art Deco-style evening, reimagined
Our décor is inspired by the elegance of the Art Deco era – clean lines, soft lighting, cocktail glasses reflecting the light from the lamps, and music flowing through the room. This is a modern interpretation of that atmosphere, not a museum piece: a stylish, sociable, sophisticated space where you can gather for dinner and drinks.

From the coast to the season — and to your table
Napier is situated where the land meets the sea, and our cuisine follows suit. You can look forward to vibrant seasonal starters, dishes designed for sharing around the table, and seafood sourced in season. Grilled fish, prawns and shellfish feature on the menu alongside carefully prepared meat dishes and generous vegetarian options.
Cocktails, wine and a relaxed end to the evening
Our bar captures the essence of coastal evenings — citrus, herbs, stone fruits and a touch of spice. Signature cocktails, inspired by Art Deco, sit alongside New Zealand and European wines, sparkling drinks, beer and a full range of non-alcoholic drinks for those who prefer not to drink alcohol.
A space designed for evenings
Netlika comes to life after dark. Candlelit tables, attentive service, background music and the gentle hum of a room full of people enjoying the evening. It’s sophisticated, but never dull — a place to come for a date, with a group of friends or simply on your own.
