Azul Eatery

Food tastes better when shared with loved ones. Azul Eatery's all-loving philosophy and mesmerising Mediterranean flavours have enticed diners time and again. This is coastal free-spiritedness like you've never known it before.

Located in Auckland's seductive Brown's Bay, this restaurant lives up to its beach-side ethos with the sea mere metres away. The adjacent skate park provides ample entertainment while the interior is a beautiful homage to mosaic art and modern interior design. In short, summer never feels far away at this eatery!

If you're in the mood for sharing, their small plates highlight the very best our oceans have to offer. Oysters, tuna carpaccio, octopus and garlic prawns are just a few seafood sensations on the list. As well as those, you have the stickiest pork belly, crispy fried chicken and even crispier mushroom arancini.

For something you can call your own, their larger plates include the Med's most iconic offering; paella! Done the traditional way, there's nothing better. As well as this chicken-y, seafood-y, saffron-y delight, you have a shellfish surprise with the crab and prawn tortellini and a mountain of clams in a white wine sauce. Alternatively, their pizzas are the best in Brown Bay. Azul is, quite simply, the Med in all its foodie glory.
