Incredible hospitality in a historic location, Platform 8 is where every memorable night begins.
What used to be Auckland’s Grand Central Railway Station is now this breathtaking restaurant. As you can probably imagine, it enjoys towering ceilings, historic features and a gleaming foyer that welcomes you into the fold. Standing tall since 1930, this establishment celebrates its past with an art decor theme which only means one thing; grandeur and luxury at its best. On top of that it’s surprisingly chilled and the perfect place for a relaxed supper with mates. Of course, it’s super romantic too if that’s what you have in mind.
Their menu is focused on sharing so expect stunning sharing plates that look too good to eat. On the menu is smoked beef brisket with chipotle mayo, crispy lamb croquettes with a mint pea pesto, meatballs and some messy buffalo wings. We advise you leave the table manners at home! If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, opt for the market fish risotto or grilled pork belly, complete with crackling and a reviving citrus salsa.
And with an international wine menu and tap beers, including dark ales, lagers and pilsners, there’s nothing left to do but bask in Platform 8's glory.

Platform 8 is located in a secret cove nestled by spark arena, at first glance you will be greeted by an old heritage train station and thus unfolds a true delight. The guy who served me and my partner was professional, polite and a perfect host to a perfect evening. 5 stars

Phenomenal experience at Platform 8. The building and decor is beautiful, topped off by 5 star food and service. I felt genuine happiness sitting at the table, gazing around the structures while awaiting our next plate. This was my first experience with Latino food and I’m a big fan. Highly recommend the salmon dish! This is a perfect date night spot or celebrating a special occasion. So grateful we chose this restaurant through First Table and we’ll definitely be back soon.
