Jimmy Cook’s Kiwi Kitchen

Kiwi cuisine with a twist!

Set within the Copthorne Hotel and Resort Bay of Islands, Jimmy Cook’s offers relaxed, all-day restaurant dining, combining fresh New Zealand flavours with a welcoming coastal atmosphere. Surrounded by one of the country’s most scenic destinations, the restaurant provides a comfortable place to unwind, whether you’re enjoying a meal after a day exploring or simply looking for easy, convenient dining close to the water. For guests preferring to dine in the comfort of their accommodation, room service is also available, bringing the flavours of Jimmy Cook’s directly to your door.

The menu celebrates classic Kiwi cuisine with a modern touch, showcasing fresh, locally sourced ingredients and flavours inspired by the region. From hearty favourites to lighter contemporary dishes, the restaurant menu is designed to suit a variety of tastes and occasions, with seasonal specials and offers adding something new to discover throughout the year. Dishes reflect a focus on quality and simplicity, highlighting the best of New Zealand produce in a way that feels both familiar and satisfying.

Sustainability is an important part of the Jimmy Cook’s philosophy. A number of ingredients are sourced from local suppliers to support regional producers and reduce food miles, while selected herbs and spices used in the kitchen are grown onsite. The team also works to minimise waste, with food scraps diverted to local pig farms wherever possible, helping to support a more sustainable approach to dining.

With a casual dining style, Jimmy Cook’s is well suited to family dining, relaxed holiday meals, and small group restaurant reservations. The setting is warm and approachable, making it easy to settle in for breakfast, dinner, or anything in between. As part of a hotel environment, the restaurant also provides flexibility for group bookings and private dining options, making it a convenient choice for gatherings, celebrations, or tour groups visiting the Bay of Islands.

The kitchen team takes pride in delivering a dining experience that caters to a wide range of preferences. Whether you’re seeking gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, or other dietary options, the team works to ensure every guest can enjoy a meal tailored to their needs. This thoughtful approach allows guests to book a table with confidence, knowing their requirements will be well looked after.

To complement the food, Jimmy Cook’s features an extensive wine and beverage selection, including local and national wines, boutique beers, and a curated range of cocktails. Whether you’re enjoying a relaxed drink in the evening or pairing a meal with something special, the drinks menu adds to the overall dining experience.
