In order to reach it, you need to follow picturesque small roads that are perhaps a little winding: upon arriving, however, one is repaid by the discreet beauty of the bay of Moeraki.

Small, charming restaurants, perhaps overlooking a small port, have always been very fascinating: perhaps it is because of the beach, perhaps it’s the air, that underlines the marks on the skin or it’s the idea of an adventure full of bequeathed stories, partly true and partly fictional. Fleur’s Place looks like the place someone would make up as the background for the adventurous protagonists of a modern story set in a seaside town that was once rather rich and now seems to be dozing, hidden in a small bay.
Wood, wood and more wood: the warmth of this little restaurant also derives from the materials with which it is built
On sunny days, Fleur's Place’s terrace becomes a precious space
