Amuse Snack Bar

Tucked into Te Aro, Amuse Snack Bar is a restaurant-quality snack bar that neatly bridges European aperitivo habits with Australasian coffee culture. The welcome’s warm and lived-in, as if calling on a favourite relative - the doors open, the air hints at baking, and the counter invites a pause.

The cooking favours refined simplicity and bright, local flavours. A tidy snack plate sets the tone, while sandwiches lean classic yet indulgent. Guests can enjoy a variety of baguettes and sourdoughs or choose to build their own with various house-made spreads and seasonal proteins.

Throughout the evening, the mood turns decidedly snacky. A selection of olives, Proper Crisps, and whipped cheeses round out the spread. There’s an accompanying menu of light meals featuring a double cheese toastie or a comforting Tuscan soup brimming with summer vegetables. Pop in when the appetite nudges and stay for a second round because at Amuse, a little goes a long way, and a lot is even better!
