The Verdict
Pssst Aucklanders, we’re going to let you in on a little secret here. It’s to do with your new favourite watering hole and place for, well, stuffing your pie hole. We’re talking about none other than Apéro, a cosy yet chic wine bar and eatery propped up on Karangahape Road. Taking its name from the urban French tradition of enjoying a quality drop and bite in good company, it comes as no surprise that Apéro is one of best French restaurants in Auckland.
In true French bistro fashion, delectable lunches and dinners are served as a mix of small sharing and grazing plates, with the odd hearty dish thrown into the mix. French bistro classics are aplenty here: there’s a terrine of the day, a signature Apéro charcuterie board as well as saussies with pickles and mustard that’s served by the quarter metre, for the lovers of meat out there. You’ll also find fabulous dairy staples dotted in the menu, in the likes of goat cheese croquettes, the best burrata, and, of course, a legendary cheeseboard featuring their favourite slices of the stuff. As for desserts, you’ll most certainly want to leave room when you get a glimpse of their buttery madeleines, or seasonal soufflé.
In true French style, there’s a plentiful wine menu full of quality drops. Whichever one you pick, rest assured that it’s been lovingly handpicked and received the seal approval by Apéro’s local wine legend, Mo. Now go forth and sip and graze your way through this menu—you can thank us later.

Bistro Saine
Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).
Takapuna Surf Club
When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
