Kahawai Connection
Burger Wellington
Brined and smoked Pacific kahawai, piled on a toasted Shelly Bay Baker bun with rich rouille, peppery greens, sharp pickles, and a surprising hit of preserved rhubarb.
Beach House’s Head Chef Alexis is bringing back his wildly popular signature smoked kahawai, reimagined as a burger.

Building a truly coastal burgerIt takes a community to bring the south coast Kahawai Connection.
Before coming to the Beach House, Head Chef Alex collaborated closely with two-time Burger Wellington champion Chetan Pangam to create One80 Restaurant’s award-winning Burger Wellington entries.
Every ingredient in Beach House’s Kahawai Connection is carefully hand picked and sourced by our community — from the Shelly Bay Bakery burger bun to the south coast-caught kahawai fish hand-smoked in-house.
If you’re keen to try our Kahawai Connection on weekdays or Friday & Saturday evenings (3-23 August) you can book a table here!
Note: we don’t take bookings for the daytime on weekends.
