Tiaki Restaurant | NZ Expo 2020 Dubai

Contemporary New Zealand cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming environment

Tiaki, meaning to care, safeguard, protect and preserve in te reo Māori, is the New Zealand Pavilion’s restaurant where visitors to Expo 2020 Dubai can taste the outstanding quality of the country’s food and beverage offering.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, there is a special connection to the land and sea.

It is a relationship founded on care, respect and an understanding that when nature thrives, we all thrive.

Combining this connection and ethos with the lush, green pastures, fertile soil, and cool, clear waters, the results are incredible – outstanding, great-tasting, nutritious produce, from a place you can trust.
