You can’t call yourself a true Aucklander until you’ve dined in the much-loved Tanuki’s Cave. Literally located under Queen Street, the Japanese yakitori and kushiage bar dishes up some of the best skewers in town.
Located a hop, step and a jump from Q Theatre, The Classic, Basement Theatre and the mighty Civic, it’s the perfect spot to grab a bite to eat before your show starts or for a debrief after it ends.
We love their deep-fried mashed kumara balls coated in almond chips—trust us, it tastes better than it sounds. And don’t leave without trying their gooey deep-fried banana dessert.
Featuring in the recent Guinness ad with Jason Momoa and now also graced by Jason's mate Jack Black who's in town to film the Minecraft movie, we can't say we're surprised that this pumping spot has left an impression on the A-Listers.

Blue
When Roses Dining Room closed earlier this year, the hospitality and wider community were shook. But it wasn’t long until they announced there was another venture in the works—and along came Blue.
Mensa
Found on the ground floor of the Beca building, all-day eatery, Mensa is the perfect spot to soak up that glorious sunshine, ideally with a coffee and slice of freshly baked sourdough pizza in hand.
