Each part of The Oyster Inn is delightful: the oysters, of course, and the rest of the food produced by chef Anthony McNamara (above, flanked by inn keepers Jonathan Rutherfurd Best, left, and Andrew Glenn); the winelist; the immensely affable service; that veranda with its views out over Oneroa Village and the bay; and also the knowledge they have a few lovely private rooms and maybe, you think, you’ll treat yourselves one weekend…

Yet, welcome as all those things are, the sum of the place is even greater than its parts. The Oyster Inn, the epitome of a summer holiday pub, elevates your appreciation of the good things in life.

A favourite dish: braised beef cheek & oyster pie (because it’s good in winter too!)

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.
