Finalist, Peugeot People’s Choice award for Auckland’s favourite dish: brisket burger & chips

 

Celebrity chef Josh Emett’s leading Auckland venture is a large and very bustling brasserie overlooking the finger wharves and the hundreds of cars parked on them. You look out to sea, and it’s just lovely. You look at the cars, and you dream of what will one day surely be. Inside, or on the balcony, you eat Emett and head chef Cobus Klopper’s lovely food.

There are brilliant burgers (presented above by Edmundo Farrera), superb steaks and an extremely impressive array of seafood dishes. The service is sharp, and the drinks list very, very moreish. (Look out for Madame Woo, Emett’s Queenstown eatery, coming to Takapuna.)

A favourite dish: beef brisket burger & chips.

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!
