Merediths

Fine Dining

Still one of the best fine-dining restaurants in the city, headed up by arguably one of the most hard-working, exacting and charitable chefs in the game, Michael Meredith.The dégustation-only experience at Merediths feels ahead of its time. This is an undoubtedly progressive chef, one of the leading voices in the conversation about what New Zealand cuisine is and what it could be, so expect local, still somewhat unfashionable ingredients (though surely not for long) such as muttonbird and eel presented in surprising ways. Every dish is picture perfect, and the service is an ideal combination of formal and knowledgeable; they handle curveballs such as last-minute dietary requests like it’s nothing. This is a restaurant you’re likely to leave feeling replete and complete, and undoubtedly a little in awe.

Latest issue shadow

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.
