Ampersand

Ampersand Eatery brings a relaxed elegance to Auckland’s dining scene, with a light-filled, welcoming space that overlooks the tranquil Ōrākei Bay. With its polished yet laid-back vibe, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to again and again.

The menu celebrates seasonal New Zealand produce, balancing simplicity and creativity on every plate. Standouts include pan-fried market fish, tender duck breast with kumara purée, and tiger prawn pasta tossed with baby spinach, red pepper sauce, and a generous grating of parmesan.

For something heartier, the lamb shank with honey-glazed carrots, creamy mash, and red wine jus is a firm favourite.

From light catch-ups to special celebrations or relaxed dinners with drinks, Ampersand is the go-to for flavour-packed fare, great company, and stunning views.
