Fleur's Place is a seafood restaurant on the shore of Moeraki's bay, in an old whaling station. The restaurant was founded in 2002 by notable Otago restaurateur Fleur Sullivan.[1]
Fleur's Place gained significant attention after chef Rick Stein chose to visit the Moeraki restaurant when offered the chance to travel anywhere in the world to eat.[2] Fleur's Place continues to be popular, and serves large numbers of tourists, many from Asia.[3][4][5]
In the late 1990s, Sullivan closed her previous restaurant in Clyde, following a diagnosis of bowel cancer. She moved to Moeraki, planning to enjoy the quiet seaside village in retirement.[6] But shortly after Sullivan's cancer was in remission, she and her family began selling fish, soups and bread out of a caravan, which quickly gained a public following.[2] Following the caravan's popularity, Sullivan opened Fleur's Place in 2002.[1] In 2012, Fleur Sullivan was made Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for her services to the food industry.[7]
As at June 2021 the head chef at Fleur's Place is Lyall Minhinnick.[8]
The restaurant was closed indefinitely in December 2021. [9]
