Arden bar & kitchen is a contemporary restaurant, wine and cocktail bar behind a heritage shopfront in the centre of Nelson.
We celebrate many things food and booze : our lists change often so we can showcase the good stuff from growers, brewers and makers of quality from here and far.
The space is cosy and the style is casual yet considered : seats are available in the courtyard garden, at the long bar, the window seat, or in the dining room for larger groups: see the contact page for reservations
the kitchen is baking treats served w coffee and our famous toasties from 10am and lunch served via PORTA VIA from 12pm: switching doors to Arden and the evening menu from 4pm : we offer a substantial supper menu until late

Porta Via is also an excellent small venue for private functions and group bookings
