Zabr'one

A breezy, turquoise bach perched on Bucklands Beach, Zabr’one offers a welcome escape from the buzzing central Auckland. Just footsteps from the water’s edge, this laid-back spot invites you to slow down, soak up the view and savour the flavours of the Mediterranean.

Zabr’one is where good food meets golden hour. As the sun sinks into the sea, tuck into steaming bowls of rich fettuccine, twirl your fork through slurp-worthy spaghetti, or bite into wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas loaded with bold, sun-drenched flavours. You’ll also find house favourites like sticky, fall-off-the-bone pork ribs, fusion-style lamb souvlaki and the ever-popular Persian chicken steak, all designed to comfort and delight.

The sweet side of the menu is just as tempting. Think silky crème brûlée, old-school banoffee pie or, if you prefer your dessert in a glass, a classic affogato or espresso martini to round out the night.

With the sparkle of the sea on one side and Zabr’one’s warm coastal charm on the other, it’s easy to feel worlds away. The vibe is friendly, the food is soul-warming, and the sunsets are pure magic. At Zabr’one, every evening feels like a mini holiday.
