166 Jervois Rd, Herne Bay. Ph 376-5597, vinnies.co.nz
Dinner Tuesday-Saturday. $$$

 

We’ve put Vinnies in the fine-dining category because it does seem that to do any less would be to dishonour owner/chef Geoff Scott’s food and the elegant, everything-is-just-so atmosphere of the restaurant itself. But Vinnies is also a neighbourhood eatery: the little place up the road that serves Herne Bay superbly.

With a menu filled with premium New Zealand foods, much of it grown locally, foraged or caught in the wild, and a regularly changing array of local art on the walls, Vinnies is more than a splendid place to eat — it’s also a showcase for New Zealand talent.

A favourite dish: “seven for seventy” (a seven-course experimental tasting meal served on Wednesday nights for just $70 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.
