Lunch Friday, dinner Monday-Saturday. $

Best Value for Money / Joint Runner-up, Best Drinks Service

 

Molten makes a very welcome return to our list this year. Owners Ben Blair and Sven Nielsen, along with chef Rensha Bouwer, have given this jewel of the Mt Eden Village a shake-up, combining the menus of the restaurant and the bar next door so you can now get excellent bistro meals and small plates on either side.

None of the mains costs more than $30 and a choice of three (generously proportioned) small plates costs only $35. Nielsen is a true wine expert and he’s usually working the floor, so if wine’s your thing, chat him up. He loves nothing more.

A favourite dish: the feasting menu (pictured), $49 for two courses, $59 for three courses, three dishes in each course.

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.
