East Pier Restaurant East Pier
Restaurant was opened in 1994 right on the water’s edge in Napier Ahuriri and
focused on contemporary food. Paul was hired has the opening head chef and over
saw all kitchen functions for 2 years. The restaurant continued to grow and
exceed everyone's expectations. During this two year period the restaurant was a
huge success mainly due to Paul's dedication and focus on introducing
contemporary food at East Pier and into the Hawkes bay. The restaurant was
expanded twice during this two year period so they could cater to the increased
demand for patrons to dine at East Pier. The restaurant still stands today.
