Queens Head Bar & Eatery

In the bustle of Auckland City Centre, Queens Head Bar and Eatery serves modern New Zealand fare with a worldly accent. The menu reads like a love letter to local bounty and familiar comforts, from briny Tio Pacifica oysters sourced off the Clevedon Coast to a sharply dressed caesar salad with anchovy, soft‑boiled egg and plenty of crunch.

Hearty plates lean into generous flavour. Think ribeye or beef short rib cushioned by autumn crown pumpkin and lifted with paprika, orange and herb crumb. The catch of the day keeps things bright with lemon salt, steamed rice and a flicker of fermented kimchi, a neat nod to the kitchen’s global curiosity.

There is hand‑stretched pizza for the purists, a classic Margherita or a pepperoni with a picante kick, and gourmet sandwiches that mean business: a New Zealand steak sandwich with rib‑eye fillet, or a kiwi burger stacked with wagyu, cured beet and a golden egg. Sides run from house bread, kumara or rewena with nduja or truffle butter, to truffle fries, while sweet things include a l’opera slice and a chocolate hazelnut lava cake with Hokey Pokey ice cream.

Settle in for easygoing city dining, where good plates meet good company. Swing by soon and let Queens Head put a crown on your evening.
