O'Connell Street Bistro

$$$-$$$$, Contemporary, City Center


Fodor's Review:

An intimate dining room is not easy to find in Auckland; this one is consistently rated among the top in the city. The former bank vault, on one of the city's fashionable back streets, is chic yet serene, and has a cozy bar from which you can watch passersby through thin venetian blinds. Loyal diners keep coming back for uncomplicated but impressive dishes such as roasted pork piccata on butter-bean cassoulet, or duck two ways -- roast duck breast, and confit duck leg on a capsicum-and-red-onion stew with fried haloumi (a salty, Middle-Eastern-style sheep's milk cheese) served on tables covered in crisp white linen. On the wine list you will find varieties rarely seen elsewhere, such as Waiheke's sought-after Stonyridge Larose Cabernets.
