The Fed

The Verdict

Oh maaaannnn…it’s time to get your American on and visit The Federal Delicatessen, better known as the ‘The Fed’. This is Al Brown’s take on an old-school NYC Jewish delicatessen and it does not disappoint. The Fed has retro décor, waitresses in vintage dresses and a menu that screams ‘America’. Think pastrami, poutine and pumpkin pie (or NY cheesecake). Wash it all down with a coffee or, enjoy a stiffer drink—beer, wine, cocktails, it’s all here. The Fed is one of Auckland’s best restaurants, and with no option to book, be prepared to wait for a seat.
