Our story
A taste of the Mediterranean, a shared meal amongst friends. A slower way to feast, indulge, and bask in the glow of good food and better company. We’re Sofi, the Wānaka restaurant nestled into the lakefront, defined by vibrant flavours and inspired by faraway seas.
Welcome to Sofi.
We opened back in December 2024, bringing Sofi to life just in time for long summer nights, mezze by the lake, and meeting the good locals and visitors of Wānaka. We’ve been tools down creating an even more inspired space, and are thrilled to introduce an all-new menu, cosy vibes, and enclosed lakeview balcony for those cool winter nights under the stars.
An inspired tour of the Mediterranean, following the sun through the Greek Islands, South of France and coastal Turkey, before seeking winter comforts in Morocco and Spain. With a Sofi signature cocktail in hand, of course.
We are after all, in the Med.
Our people
Meet the hands and hearts of Sofi. The good humans who infuse every dish with a touch of the Mediterranean, who have travelled the world and collected stories, skills and special flavours to bring to your table. We wouldn’t be where we are without them.
