TYLER STREET GARAGE
Once a lowly parking garage, now a funky waterfront bar and bistro, everything about TSG is engineered for a great night out.
Gourmet pizzas, handmade pastas, salads and sharing-sized plates of robust Italian flavours: this is exactly the sort of food you want when you’re out on the town.
Upstairs, the north-facing rooftop bar boasts the best panoramic waterfront view a parking garage ever had. With its resort-style seating, covered fireplace area and own fully stocked bar, this is quite possibly the best spot in town for an afternoon drink.

OSTRO
ALL DAY DINING AND COCKTAILS
Ostro’s all-day dining menu is seasonal and effortless, with Josh’s elegant, produce-driven culinary style on show. Small plates and fantastic bar food sate laid-back diners, while seafood platters and a raw bar serving fresh fish catches can be relished in an aptly seaside setting.
As well that unparalleled dining menu, Ostro’s enticing list of exotic libations numbers house-made rum, wine, non-alcoholic house-made sodas and an ever-evolving list of covetable cocktails whipped up by some of New Zealand’s most inventive mixologists.

EBISU
Brings together the best of traditional Japanese and modern international dining.
Ebisu takes the traditional values of Japanese cuisine – freshness, simplicity, painstaking attention to the quality of ingredients – and fuses them with the buzz and excitement of contemporary dining.

L'ASSIETTE - COFFEE COFFEE COFFEE
Contemporary French cafe L’Assiette offers freshly baked pastries and tarts, daily specials and a full sit-down menu served on a sunny outdoor terrace.

They also offer a delicious selection of delicate sweet crêpes and gorgeous galettes, with a dedicated ‘crêpe station’ unveiled in January 2014 where you can sit and watch the crêpe masters at work.

THE STORE
Is an eatery of two halves. At one end a chic diner serving casual meals and drinks with attentive table service. At the other a neighbourhood store selling an ever-changing menu of house-made ‘gourmet convenience’ food and superb coffee to take away.
Serving quick nutritious bites from early till late seven days a week, The Store specialises in ‘great takeaway food, fresh pastries and bread’, and for those who wish to dine in, the focus is on ‘quick-fire service for casual tables in the inner courtyard.’

SHAKY ISLES COFFEE CO
They may claim fondness for a bit of ‘mammal-straddling malarkey’, but when it comes to great food and coffee, the team at Shaky Isles are deadly serious.
This second outlet of the much-loved cafe has plenty in common with its Kingsland cousin: signature cartoon graphics, offbeat interior design details and large-scale text reminders of why coffee is good for your personality.
The Britomart Shaky Isles, however, has an atmosphere all its own.

LA CIGALE MARKET
After falling in love with Paris twenty years ago, La Cigale owners Elizabeth and Mike Lind made it their mission to inject a sense of Parisian flair into the traditional kiwi market model. The result is a beautiful collision; locally grown, fresh fruit and vegetable stalls sit alongside international fare such as cured meats, specialty chocolates and nut butters. There are more than twenty stalls to peruse. Some produce changes with the seasons, other goodies can be found year-round and there really is something for everyone – from accomplished chefs to curious wanderers.
