The best New Zealand food in the United States, according to the experts: Texas Monthly, D Magazine, and the Dallas Observer have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Quarter Acre comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Atlanta and Dallas.

Rank 1. Quarter Acre
Modern New Zealand
The forest-meets-island room on Greenville Avenue hints at the chef's New Zealand upbringing before a single plate arrives. Quarter Acre is an intimate fine dining spot offering both à la carte and a multicourse tasting menu that moves from delicate raw and seafood preparations toward bolder, fire-driven dishes. Classical European technique runs underneath cooking that roams pretty freely across the globe. A Michelin Selected Restaurant, and the kind of room that makes a Tuesday feel like an occasion.
