DEPOT
86 Federal Street, Auckland City | 09-363 7048
Rustic wooden benches and stools spill from the tiled interior on to the footpath, as New York deli meets Kiwi kitsch. From the raw bar, freshly shucked shellfish are promptly dispensed, as are shared dishes from the open chargrill, often on boards. Cutlery comes in cans and wine in glass tumblers. Ribs, cheek, hock and marrow, all carefully cooked, will delight carnivores as sliders, toasties and tortillas carry piscatorial snacks.
Dishes are beautifully balanced and pack a flavour punch. Wine on tap and a considered list counter the hard seating to keep lingerers longer. Bookings are not taken and staff will cheerfully advise on likely delay. If you want information on the food, you’ll need to ask, but staff are responsive and keen. As Al Brown’s casual-dining empire continues to expand, Depot remains a firm favourite.

O'CONNELL STREET BISTRO
3 O'Connell St, Auckland City | 09-377 1884
In Auckland’s competitive restaurant scene, O’Connell Street Bistro’s 17 years in business render it a classic. It’s the trusted haunt of choice for the numerous ad execs, lawyers and property moguls who count it as a neighbour, but it also plays excellent host to urbane tourists, gatherings of friends and cosy couples. It has old-fashioned values – linen napery, quality glassware, knowledgeable service – but contemporary smarts. Head chef Alex Strobach’s menu delivers plenty of the bistro favourites that the restaurant’s regulars demand as well as more intriguing options – octopus carpaccio with tempura crayfish, gremolata and saffron paprika mayonnaise is a masterclass in the layering of delicate flavours. Proprietor Chris Upton’s wine list is legendary and the fact that diners are assured of expert guidance from his waitstaff even when Upton isn’t around is testament to just how professional this operation is.
