Best Renewal / Finalist, Peugeot People’s Choice award for Auckland’s favourite dish: zuppa di pesce

 

Since 1986. That’s right, the place is nearly 30 years old. Mind you, some people will be thinking, is that all? Prego’s been around forever, and we mean that in an entirely good way. It’s still the go-to place when you want reliable quality, when you feel like nothing so much as kicking back for the afternoon in a gorgeous courtyard under the trees, when you know that nothing will hit the spot as well as fresh Italian food and a glass of something light and flavoursome to match.

They’ve refitted and, boy, does it look good. And the food? It tastes, if anything, even better.

A favourite dish: zuppa di pesce (Mediterrannean seafood soup, presented below by maître d’ Gemma Whenmouth).

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.
