While designer outfits will be turning heads on the runway, Lotatoes™ and Beekist® will be tantalising taste buds backstage at New Zealand Fashion Week (NZFW).

Our mouth-watering, bee-pollinated Beekist® tomatoes and our new low carb Lotatoes™ feature on the menu during the week-long event.

Visitors to Fashion Week can select between brunch, lunch, high tea or cocktail sessions, tailored to fit within the show schedule.

The venue’s restaurant offers a selection of beautifully presented food in the heart of NZFW on Auckland’s waterfront including a Beekist® tomato, ricotta, basil tartlet, and a La Authentique Kalamata tapenade, Beekist® tomato, basil, cheese bite.

“We get a real buzz working with tomatoes – now visitors to Fashion Week can enjoy them, just the way nature intended,” says Marketing Manager for Lotatoes™ & Beekist®, Michelle Singh.

Lotatoes™, the new flavoursome potato with 40% less carbs, also feature on the menu with a Lotatoes™ croquette with Beekist® tomato relish and a Mini Te Mana lamb shepherd’s pie with Lotatoes™ fondant.
