Elevate your evenings with panoramic views over Auckland, situated above the iconic west coast beaches, with exquisite home-cooked food and some of NZ's finest wine. This is Elevation Bar & Brasserie.

When it comes to al-fresco dining, Elevation takes home all the prizes. Nestled amongst rugged hills, this particular vantage point rewards diners with breath-taking views from their stylish deck. The perfect spot for a post-hike supper. And if it's blustery out, shelter in their cosy bistro that also boasts epic views, complete with Auckland's spectacular Sky Tower!

And whilst you're up high, enjoy some delicious plates that'll transport you to a different sphere altogether! Begin on a delicate note with ceviche, Japanese fried calamari or their signature Elevegan - an earthy and wholesome mix of smoked mushrooms, kumara hash and baked tofu.

For mains, brasserie classics like coq au vin and eye fillet steak are given a Kiwi twist whilst their tempting selection of pizzas are enough for anyone to skip cheat day! In true Kiwi style, you have the mahurangi that's adorned with scallops and green-lipped mussels as well as the blue cheese and caramelised onions-goodness that is the Kaurilands. End the evening with a crisp white or deep red as the sun sets over this remarkable city.
