Fine and Contemporary Dining

Cin Cin on Quay Iguaçu in fashionable Parnell, is a large, stylish brasserie. Great New Zealand cuisine that incorporates the cooking styles and flavours of the Pacific Rim. Natural, earthy décor, indoor and outdoor dining and warm cosy fires in the winter. Extensive menu, amazing wine list and excellent service make for a great dining experience. Open 7 days, Monday to Friday from 12 noon until late, and weekends from 11am until late. Great kids’ menu and activity book. Live music Sundays during winter.  

Mikano Mikano, situated in Mechanics Bay, is a perfect place to spend time with friends. The menu concentrates on promoting the freshest of New Zealand produce. The spectacular views over the Auckland Harbour across to Devonport are breathtaking. The helicopters leaving and landing outside the restaurant is something to savour over a favourite beverage and a delightful meal. Mikano
