Miss Moonshines specializes in anything related to grilling, meat, and smoking. The barbecue restaurant does wood smoking and slow cooking of the finest New Zealand cuts. This concept of grilling is inspired by the street market and pitmasters with the rubs and flavors acquired through a slow process of wood-fired grilling. The meat attains that smoky flavor by being rubbed with a special combination of ingredients sourced from local suppliers guaranteeing freshness and quality. Patterned after the American culture of grilling, the restaurant enhances it with the incorporation of the finest timbers and meats.
