Aria Restaurant

In the city's Crowne Plaza Auckland is a hidden gem; Aria Restaurant.

A short distance from the Civic Theatre, Town Hall and Skycity, it’s your answer to a night in the city centre. It’s spacious, chilled and friendly and boasts a lively atmosphere, perfect for an evening out. The dining area has a distinct no-frills attitude and most importantly, serves good, honest food.

The menu showcases some of the best cooking from around the world and uses locally sourced ingredients. For true indulgence, opt for the venison loin with smoked carrot and potato puree or go for something lighter like the pan seared hapuka. For the vegetarians, there’s a delicious pumpkin and ricotta pansotti to get stuck into. And for the little ones, give them free rein with the kids' menu.

And what better way to wind down than with a bottle of the good stuff? Choose from their extensive list of wines, household beers and ciders. Feeling fancy? It’s Aperol Spritz time!
