Breakfast Monday-Friday, lunch & dinner Monday-Saturday. $$

 

How pleased are we about this? A good new restaurant in the one part of Auckland that needs more of them the most: the centre of the city.

Pilkingtons has a beautiful room, with glass walls, lots of greenery, bar booths and tables — it feels a little like the lightness of Britomart’s Ortolana combined with the classic menu of perfectly cooked tasty treats of a place like O’Connell St Bistro. (Not a surprise, really: the fitout was done by Britomart’s Nat Cheshire and the kitchen is in the hands of Alex Strombach, who has migrated around the corner from OSB.) All power to them.

A favourite dish: Marinated mushrooms, baby beets, sorrel, hazelnuts & grilled halloumi (pictured).

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.
