Our restaurant & workshop share space, but more important are the views we share - that if we can make it ourselves, we will. That traditions guide but do not rule. Rising Sun Workshop does not support factory farming, what we buy in we buy local, from roasters, smokers, brewers, growers, winemakers & distillers who share our philosophies - our mates.We’re here for your crazy & not so crazy dietaries, not all things are possible but with a little notice they might be.

    The service always great. The food was delicious and very fresh. I don’t eat meat, they have lots of nice options to cater for special diets. I loved it all. Especially the eggplant bun.

    Our second visit to Maiz was every bit as good as the first. We opted for the fixed menu this time and it was uniformly delicious from start to finish. I might say my favourites were the 2 dishes made from corn—soup to begin and ice block (yes! Sweet corn ice block) were both stunningly delicious! The ice block totally original and unexpected! Loved even the hibiscus and mescal shot to start the dinner. Service was just the right amount of attentive and leave you to your eating! Terrific value too. I’ve already booked our next dinner!
