The Sugar Club menu, late 1980s

Wellington restaurant the Sugar Club (which ran from 1986 to 1989) was a pioneering exponent of the Pacific rim style of cooking, which combined classical French cooking techniques with fresh local produce and pan-Mediterranean and Asian ingredients – things like the lemongrass and wasabi in dishes on this menu. The owners, including Sugar Club chef Peter Gordon, opened a restaurant with the same name in London, England, in 1995 and introduced Pacific rim food to British palates. Gordon became one of New Zealand's best-known chefs.
