What makes it special?

The beating heart of Britomart is a stylish indoor/outdoor restaurant, serving delightful breakfasts, lunches and dinners with impeccable standards to shoppers, tourists and the businesspeople of the precinct.

Behind the scenes

The Hip Group operates several excellent cafe/restaurants around town, including Takapuna Beach Cafe and Cafe on Kohi. All showcase a garden-to-table approach, with the company’s bees, gardens and farm animals contributing strongly to the menus. Ortolana’s wine list reflects the light and lunchy feel of the food, and they also do a very good line in house-made “ambrosial” fruit and floral syrups. Breads and desserts come from Hip’s other nearby operations: bakery The Store and pastry shop Milse.

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!
