We pride ourselves on cooking real, honest food made from scratch. Our food is unpretentious coastal cuisine at its finest—food meant to be enjoyed with friends and family.

We opened our doors in November 2012 in a beautiful building overlooking the Tasman Sea and Kahurangi Mountain Range. Over the past twelve years (yikes!), we have worked hard to curate our space and food to the taste of our loyal followers. We are in the hospitality business because we love nothing more than putting a smile on your face.

Our menu changes with the seasons, and you will find daily specials that reflect our Chef’s creativity. Fresh fish is delivered multiple times each day (we sell a lot!). Our breads are all baked daily, and some say we have the world’s best seafood chowder—have you tried it yet? We serve a full scratch-cooked menu from breakfast through dinner and desserts.

We're world-famous for our seafood chowder. We recently had a chowder connoisseur come in to test this statement, and he made a bet that if it were the best chowder, he would stand outside naked and tell the world about it. Needless to say, we requested he keep his clothes on, but he was outside shouting about the chowder for a good ten minutes.

The kitchen is the heart of our restaurant. Every morning, three different breads are baked, and the smell that fills the restaurant is simply divine.

Our friendly team sets us apart from the rest - we couldn't do this without them! Our team hails from eight different countries, many of whom have been with us for at least a decade.

We cook like we’re cooking for friends; that’s what we hope you are when you leave The Styx.

Our doors are open Wednesday through Sunday and closed on public holidays. We can't wait to meet you and welcome you into The Styx family.
