With its rows of picture-perfect vines, shade-providing olive trees and Gaudi-esque mosaics, it’s easy to be charmed by Casita Miro before you even make it inside the glass-walled dining room. The good times continue inside with service led by the ebullient Cat Vosper and food inspired by Spain and the wider Mediterranean – dishes such as harissa-sautéed prawns and squid feature alongside Spanish classics such as patatas bravas and paella. New chef Rensha Bouwer’s menu is divided into tapas and raciones (larger plates), so you can graze over a drink or have a full-on feast depending on your inclination. Either way, it would be remiss not to sample a sherry or two or delve into the Miro wines produced from the vines the restaurant overlooks.

What it offers Shared-plate options / Good for vegetarians / Free-range chicken and/or pork / Fixed-price meals / Good seating outside / Takes large groups / Good for kids
A favourite dish House-smoked kahawai with watermelon salad, preserved onion, picante lemon aioli and toast.

Metro N°440 is out now!

With progressive councillors starting to score some wins under what was anticipated to be a reactionary major, Hayden Donnell asks: Has Wayne Brown gone woke?
Plus: we go out and investigate Auckland’s nightlife (or in some cases, the lack thereof), with best bars (with thanks to Campari); going-out diaries from Chlöe Swarbrick, BBYFACEKILLA.mp3, Poppa.Jax & more; a look into Auckland’s drugs by Don Roew (who’s holding and how much they paid for it); we go on the campaign trail with Willie Jackson, talk to gallerist Michael Lett, drink martinis and alternative wines, start seeing a therapist, visit Imogen Taylor’s studio, look into Takutai Tarsh Kemp’s wardrobe. And more!
