The Verdict
Grey Lynn’s Richmond Road is now home to Lokanta, a family-run Turkish restaurant serving up rustic, homemade delights. Lokanta is decked out with emerald green tiles, mismatched chairs and old black and white photos. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’ve stepped out of New Zealand and into a restaurant in the other side of the world. Food wise, Lokanta offers a range of small plates from smoky eggplant dip and creamy taramasalata to fresh chargrilled seafood as well as mains of Aegean island goat and slow cooked beef shin. Make sure you order their flatbreads and try the Turkish beer.

Sumi
It’s a Tuesday night in Auckland city but you’d easily mistake it for the weekend at Sumi. The new izakaya spot by owner-chef Jason Lee (Wakuwaku, Katsu Katsu, Tsuru Tsuru) in City Works Depot is humming.
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).
