Lunch Friday, dinner Tuesday-Saturday. $$$

Joint Runner-up, Best Fine-dining Restaurant / Joint Runner-up, Best Chef: Sid Sahrawat / Finalist, Restaurateur of the Year: Sid Sahrawat

 

He’s a bit of a genius, chef Sid Sahrawat. Flavours, textures, masterful control of temperature and timing in the kitchen, and on top of all that he has a rare eye for beauty (as reflected in the carrot, smoked cashew, shiso and coconut dish pictured) and rare creative skill to go with it.

Sidart is his fine-dining restaurant, tucked away at the back of a weird old cinema building. The dining room is lovely, with a great view of the city, the service (in the hands of maître d’ Amanda Rogers) is smart and attentive, and there are some very appealing special options, including a chef’s table, test-kitchen night and five-course Friday lunch.

A favourite dish: Tuesday test kitchen (eight courses for $80 a head).

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.
