Just off the Appleby Highway, a historic chapel built in the end of 19th century has been lovingly transformed into a charming cafe and restaurant.

La Capilla (which means “the chapel” in Spanish), serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes in an idyllic location. The bistro is the brainchild of Head Chef and Owner Takeshi Nagahama, who has a passion for Spanish home-cooking and extensive experience in Michelin star restaurants.

Sourcing seasonal ingredients from local farmers, as well as stocking a wide range of award-winning wines from New Zealand and Spain, La Capilla ensures you sample some of the finest flavours and produce in the country.

The rustic interior and peaceful surroundings create the perfect environment for dining with friends and family. Relax and enjoy a Nelson culinary experience like no other at La Capilla, located within the historic chapel, Richmond.
