Restaurateur Vincent Michaelsen shares his favourite places to dine in Napier, from sublime bánh mì purveyors to an under-the-radar Turkish dining gem. Vincent Michaelsen grew up largely on the rural fringes of Napier. “Leaving Napier after high school, I never expected to return, but here I am, living on the same land I grew up with my kids going to the same school I did.” Since, 2018, Michaelsen has run Vinci’s, a pizza focussed restaurant in the heart of the bustling Hastings Street precinct.
