Looking for a place to eat this Father's Day? We've got you covered.
What do most Dad's have in common? They love a good meal, and even better if they don't have to cook (or clean up after it) themselves. This year, we’re turning up the flavour dial with a lineup of restaurants that promise to deliver a feast he won’t forget. Whether he’s a fan of hearty comfort food or adventurous new flavours, Remix’s curated list has something to tickle every taste bud.
The Grill
The perfect Father's Day dinner does exist with a little help from The Grill and their famous Beef Wellington. Served with two sides of you choosing and dripping in a rich red wine jus. Wash it down with a glass (or bottle) of red and you've got yourself one happy dad, guaranteed.
Azabu Mission Bay
Just minutes from the CBD, this beach-side haven offers the perfect Father’s Day getaway. Located in the iconic beachfront stone building, Azabu Mission Bay wows with its inventive contemporary Japanese cuisine infused with Peruvian flavours. With breathtaking ocean views and impeccable service, every detail at Azabu ensures an unforgettable dining experience. Tag dad along to indulge in their classic Tiger Prawn Tempura or go for the popular Robata Salmon Miso Yaki.
kingi
Treat Dad to a delightful dining experience at kingi, where fresh and sustainably sourced seafood and New Zealand produce are served in thoughtful and approachable ways. Try kingi’s lunch menu such as the Squid Ink Tagliatelle or their Snapper, tomato crayfish bisque, fregola pasta with fennel for dinner. Complement your meal with a selection from their drinks menu with the best New Zealand and Australian wines, elegant cocktails, local beers, and a variety of daytime beverages.
SOUL Bar and Bistro
Make Father’s Day unforgettable by treating Dad to a dining experience at SOUL, located in the vibrant heart of Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour. Our favourite dish? The ricotta filled tortelli with sunday sauce and calabrian chilli. It’s a picturesque waterfront setting for any occasion, promising a memorable backdrop for your Father’s Day celebration.
Esther
Keep it simple this Father's Day and honour the Sunday with a classic roast. Not sure where to book? Esther's twist on the classic roast will have you transported straight to the Mediterranean. We're talking Speckle Park rib-eye, duck-fat roast potatoes, char-grilled leeks with pistachio pesto finished with a side of carrots. And don't forget the Yorkshire soufflé with rhubarb strawberry compote and Chantilly to satiate his sweet tooth.
Origine
After something a little more fancy? Commercial Bay's Origine is our go-to. With a menu that showcases French cuisine at its finest and produced with high quality New Zealand ingredients, Origine’s classic French Onion Soup for an entrée and the Braised Wagyu Beef Cheek Bourguignon for the main is our recommendation
Advieh
Immerse Dad in a culinary adventure at Advieh, where stunning views of Waitemata Harbour meet a tapestry of Middle Eastern flavours. From traditional spices to innovative creations, every bite invites you to explore uncharted culinary territories, the Crispy scampi and crayfish kataifi and Whole dry aged duck are on another level of deliciousness.
Hello Beasty
Treat Dad this Father’s Day to an extraordinary dining experience at Hello Beasty, a cult favourite located on Auckland's waterfront. Known for its contemporary cuisine inspired by the flavours of Japan, Korea, and China, Hello Beasty offers a delicious and approachable sharing menu that’s perfect for a family celebration. Indulge in the Beasty sashimi selection, Chilli Sichuan noodles, or the popular Wagyu beef and Shiitake Potstickers.
