Madame George restaurant review: Metro Top 50 2019

May 2, 2019 Restaurants

Madame George is a finalist in the Metro Peugeot Restaurant of the Year 2019 awards for Best Casual Restaurant. To see a full rundown of all our winners, click here.

Even regulars at Madame George who crowd around the noisy streetside tables on K’ Rd for drinks and snacks could be forgiven for not realising they’re sitting at one of Auckland’s best restaurants. Inside, the shabby-chic interior produces a soft and welcoming ambience that can feel like you’re eating in the home of a friend who just happens to be both an amazing cook and an eagle-eyed op-shopper. The food changes frequently, but is anchored by seafood and vegetables with an ever-changing red-meat option, combining local produce with a South American influence which seeps into the inventive drinks list, most obviously seen in the multiple options for pisco-based cocktails.

What it offers: Shared-plate options / Good for vegetarians and vegans / Bar

A favourite dish: Lamb with garlic and spinach

Hours: Dinner Tue-Sat
Bookings: Yes
Price: $
Chef: Patrick Schmitt

Metro N°441 is Out Now.

It’s our annual, inflation-busting ‘Where to Eat for Less Than $25’ list (with thanks to Uber Eats) issue! PLUS the Summer Books Special and the Auckland Property Report Card (with thanks to Barfoot and Thompson). Also, Sir Bob Harvey looks into the missing treasures in our museums and talks to Jacqui Knight about monarch butterflies. AND NOT ONLY THAT: Emil Scheffmann looks into our secondary art market, Matthew Hooton and Morgan Godfery look into the new government, Jamie Wall into the tennis, Hana Pera Aoake into the Māori response to the war in Palestine and Abby Howells into being the lion in the Wizard of Oz. We also find the 10 Best Bakeries in Auckland, a great recipe for a Japanese Breakfast and the king of the supermarket pasta brands. All this and much, much more.
