At the recent 2010 Northland Matariki Awards, Award winning chef Brenton Low added three more awards to his ‘stash’ that grace the entrance and upstairs room of a Deco Restaurant in Whangarei. Awards received were Most Innovative Chef, Northland Restaurant of the Year and Caterer of the Year.

Brenton says “it’s all about keeping it real. Seeing what the clientele want and then going from there.” He doesn’t use black pepper of garlic in any of his food, preferring the natural flavour of the ingredients to shine through. Brenton also doesn’t use animal stock in any of their products making the restaurant very vegetarian friendly.

Although a Deco is consistantly rated so highly, Brenton doesnt want Whangarei diners to get the wrong idea about who they are and the type of food they serve. “We want people to enjoy top quality food and wine at reasonable prices”.

Other awards won include Northland Best Restaurant from year 2002 - 2009
