Marvel Grill (Auckland)

To wrap up a week of client engagement in Auckland, the project team headed to Marvel Grill at the North Wharf area which is a 5 minute walk to our Viaduct Harbour hotel.

I was expecting some super hero theme dining room but the décor was clean and modern. Before our steaks, we went for a series of fried starters – southern fried chicken with buttermilk sauce was particularly good. All our steaks were consistently good and praised by the table. Try the hash brown skillet for something different than the typical chips or baked potatoes.

Tapestry Dining (Auckland New Zealand)

During my numerous stays at the Pullman Hotel in Auckland, I dined at Tapestry Dining at the lobby level often.

Trying the bluff oysters while in season is a must, the wonder crunch of the flesh was extremely enjoyable. I also liked the angus steak main course accompanied by the wagyu sausage roll.

For breakfast, they offered a NZ special white bait fritter in room service – a must try over the usual omelette and scrambled.
