Number 5

A staple of Auckland’s fine dining scene for more than 40 years.

Rising star Jack Crosti celebrates New Zealand’s finest produce through beautifully-presented, seasonal menus that demonstrate plenty of contemporary technique and an enviable understanding of flavour profiles.

Think homemade tofu with hay-smoked celeriac, pork belly and pickled fennel and desserts such as roast pumpkin ice cream, all served in a leafy dining room painted in neutral hues.

This is a timeless classic being reimagined by a passionate team. Take your date, take your mother, or dine with friends… This is one gourmet experience no gourmand should miss out on.
