Restaurateurs of the Year: Che Barrington & Mark Wallbank

 

You could excuse chef Che Barrington and restaurateur Mark Wallbank for having been a little distracted of late, opening Woodpecker Hill in Parnell while also running The Blue Breeze Inn and Chop Chop across the road, but it’s not necessary because if there is any distraction it doesn’t show.

Moochowchow is the finest Thai restaurant in Auckland, where the sharp, sweet, fresh and stimulating flavours bounce off each other in dish after dish. The service is impeccable, there’s lots of great stuff to drink, and the room itself — well, look at that beautiful wall. Very cool.

A favourite dish: hot, sour & salty salad of wild mushrooms, roasted chilli, shallots & coriander.

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.
