  • Bear Lion Foods

We are a small owner operated business with a huge environmental conscience, promoting a flourishing resilient living future, supporting our amazing farmers, growers and artisans.

Morphing from a quaint market stall, to a bricks and mortar restaurant, to being respected & acknowledged for sustainability, innovation & being one of New Zealand's best organic eateries.

That was our begining in Christchurch. We are now in Upper Moutere, Tasman.

Offering you a Friday takeaway meal option, catering and more. Mixing organic, local and seasonal with good fats, natural sweetness & native ingredients creating a bold mélange of quality New Zealand awesomeness.

Made with love, by hand and in small batches.

Taking what Mother Nature provides, embracing it's natural beauty, creating a unique combination of ingredients, resulting in a mélange of flavours whilst being perfectly nourishing. Respecting the journey from soil to stomach.

We like to use the word 'feast' & 'organic' to describe our food philosophy. Be it a spread of amazing salads, mains, cake/desserts or BearLion products; you are guaranteed a feast for all the senses.

BearLion is perfect for any occasion with a flexible menu & offering, meaning we can cater to your needs. A menu that changes weekly & embraces seasonal variety.

If you're looking for food glory that Tasman, Nelson & New Zealand can offer, carefully curated by someone who cares. Then BearLion is it.
