From incredibly fresh fish, either caught by you on an adventure or by our trusted anglers, to produce grown just a short walk away among our lush greenery, we believe in the nourishment and nuanced flavour only peak freshness can provide. Chef Kimie Uemoto guides each dish with respect for these natural flavours, avoiding unnecessary complexity to let the ingredients shine.

At Island House, every meal is uniquely yours. Chef Kimie, your dedicated chef, crafts each dish to align with your preferences and the island’s freshest ingredients—whether caught that day or picked from our gardens. Our attentive team sets the stage for each multi-course feast, often served family-style, in settings as inviting as our dining room or beneath the open skies. The result is a seamless, elevated dining experience that reflects Lord Howe Island’s vibrant flavours.

While Kimie is passionate about Japanese cuisine, she’s equally happy to accommodate other culinary styles and dietary requirements, ensuring every meal feels personal and distinctly “Island House.”

Each day, you’ll enjoy one chef-prepared meal made with care. For your other meal—whether you choose to dine in-house or at a breathtaking spot on the island—we offer our “Curate to Cook” service. Here, Chef Kimie selects and portions your preferred ingredients, ready for you to cook at your leisure. The table will be elegantly set, and everything you need will be waiting in your fridge.

This service even extends to BBQs: we’ll handle the setup, so all you have to do is arrive and savour the spectacular view.

All stays at Island House include a bounty of island-grown and freshly caught produce. Additionally, your pantry and fridge will be stocked with artisanal imports. Each house also boasts a fully stocked bar, featuring wine, spirits, and beer brewed by our sister business right here on the island!
