What’s the recipe for a really good bistro? Terrific, attentive service? Check. Melissa Morrow and Blair Russell run this place with enormous care and skill. Good food? Well, obviously. In
the kitchen at PRB, Sarah Conway produces terrines, steaks, seafood delights, pastas and other bistro classics that keep us wanting to go back and back. Drinks lists compiled by experts? Again, Morrow and Russell have it nailed.

The room itself was conceived as a champagne bar/bistro a few years ago and still retains a sense of slightly naughty sophistication. And why not? Sitting in there, it’s like being treated to something special.

A favourite dish: scotch fillet with hand-cut chips & garlic parsley butter.

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.
