Chef Marco Edwardes does some lovely entrées at Te Whau — skin-on seared salmon tataki with a miso glaze; unbelievably good tempura’d local Te Makutu oysters — just the thing for grazing your way through a lazy afternoon in a delightful restaurant on a stunning promontory on Waiheke. But we should say we have also eaten a main of tarakihi there that was about as good as fish gets.

Ask owner Tony Forsyth about the wine — he’s a knowledgeable enthusiast, which shows in what he makes (definitely try the Te Point 2010) and what he keeps in the cellar.

A favourite dish: tarakihi with wilted spinach, sauce bouillabaisse, prawn & potato filo cigars.

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.
