It helps that the region produces excellent raw materials for their craft. The climate is obliging - with enough sunshine and rainfall to grow everything from the daintiest tips of asparagus to the sweetest strawberries south of the equator.

Nearby farms produce export quality lamb, beef and cervena (New Zealand venison). The generous ocean keeps restaurants well supplied with scallops, snapper, tuna and schools of fish that you've never heard of, but would love to meet on your plate.

The newly developed Viaduct Basin offers indoor and outdoor waterside dining - spacious brasseries, intimate silver service or romantic balconies overlooking the harbour. Euro Bar and MJ's should not be missed. Auckland's fringe suburbs of Ponsonby and Parnell are overflowing with award-winning restaurants, cafes and bars that seem reluctant to close. Finding something to satisfy your appetite is a piece of cake, proverbially speaking.

Details

Further Information: Great Auckland dining isn't limited to the inner city. A half-hour boat-ride from downtown lands you on Waiheke Island, where you can enjoy the delicious flavours of Pacific Rim style cuisine while you drink in the amazing views. Alternatively, within 30 minutes from downtown Auckland, the areas of Waitakere, North Shore and Manukau offer a choice of wonderful food and wine experiences.
Special Features: If you're looking for a sublime wine experience to perfectly match the food you've ordered, never underestimate Auckland's wine. There are gutsy cabernet sauvignons, fine chardonnays, smooth merlots, cheeky chenin blancs and world famous sauvignon blancs - wine making has been alive and well in Auckland since the turn of the century.
