The Curators Lounge

Hidden away in the back corner of Auckland's QBE building, The Curators cocktail & whiskey lounge is a serene haven offering some of the best food and wine Auckland has to offer. It’s no wonder then, that it has quickly become the best-kept secret for foodies and whiskey aficionados alike.

Surrounded by dark leather seats and black marble, it’s hard not to be overwhelmed by the plush interior. Not something you would expect to find behind its front doors, The Curator offers an intimate dining experience, ideal for long lunches, discovering a new whiskey or cocktails – playing off the incredible NZ produce with classics and some unique twists – the team led by the talented Tara and Anthony have created an incredible offering.

Cuisine-wise, The Curators Lounge showcases the best in seasonal produce, offering an eclectic and varied menu bound to set your tastebuds alight. Seafood is a highlight, with the signature seafood chowder being a must-try on the soft sharing menu, along with the steak and mash, and the pasta du jour. If you've got a sweet tooth, then make sure you save space for one of the mouth-watering desserts: Chocolate tart with berry compote and vanilla bean ice cream or the fig crème brûlée with lemon sorbet - both simply divine!

A true haven for those seeking a refined and exclusive experience, The Curators Lounge offers the perfect combination of sophistication, tranquillity and unbeatable food and drink. It’s the ideal location for those who dare to be whisked away and wrapped in the spirit of luxury.
