The Emerald

Stepping through the doors of Greenwoods Corner newcomer, The Emerald, feels a little like stepping back in time.

Located in an iconic building that dates back to the fifties, this is destination dining at its finest. On the menu is a carefully curated list of classics, elevated to new heights by a team of dedicated chefs.

Start your evening with a round of freshly baked sourdough accompanied by whipped butter or the deliciously creamy burrata with lemon olive oil, cracked pepper and basil. For an exciting entree, go for the hand-cut steak tartare, which is served with bone marrow toast, egg yolk, and a generous slick of marmite.

Tuck into their grass-fed ribeye or the legendary coconut and lime smoked salmon. The Emerald's Atlantic scallops hide a secret. These delicious bite-sized morsels are served with a vegetable extravaganza of lemon, courgette, cauliflower, apple, and olive oil for a European twist. Divine!

This elegant and luxurious eatery is the perfect setting for your next special occasion or might just have you stopping by on your way home from work one evening, to round off the working day in serious style. It's already an Auckland institution and — believe us Suffolk Avenue locals — for good reason!

Located mere metres from the palatial Cornwall Park, The Emerald is a favourite for locals and city-goers alike so make sure you don't miss out.
