For those who love honest food and home comforts, Remuera Local Cafe and Bistro is your home in the middle of Auckland.

Located in the Remuera Shopping Centre near Clonbern Road, it's the perfect location if you're out and about in the city. Its European-style interior with a unique navy theme makes for a cool and casual spot to meet up after a long day.

Kick-start your evening with some European classics, like a rich n' creamy duck liver pate or polenta squid. The mains showcase the best meat in town with their grilled eye fillet with an earthy mushroom and potato gratin as well as crispy pork belly and lamb shank Provençal. From the sea, there's market fish that sits pretty on a bed of saffron risotto.

And with a dazzling wine list handpicked from NZ's greatest vineyards and around the world, there's the perfect tipple out there for everyone.
