Rank 2. Apéro Food & Wine
French
Goat's cheese croquettes and sausages charged by length: this French-leaning wine bar on K Road operates on its own cheerful logic. The Michelin Bib Gourmand goes to a room where the person running the floor will ask about your mood before recommending a glass, and the blackboard menu changes with whatever the kitchen feels like doing. Neighborhoody in the way that most neighborhoods are not lucky enough to have.

Rank 5. Gilt
Brasserie
A big, bold brasserie that leans hard into the European classics, with a menu that swings comfortably from salt cod croquettes to braised beef cheek with escargots and a Paris-Brest that earns its place on the dessert list. The kitchen has a classical French and Italian education and makes no apologies for it. The kind of room where a long lunch can stretch past what you planned, and the wine list by the glass quietly encourages that.

Rank 5. Origine
French
A pair of sunglasses left on the window tables tells you everything about the room: bright, open, with Waitemata Harbour filling the glass. This French restaurant in Commercial Bay folds local and seasonal produce into classic technique, and the portions are the kind that make you reconsider dessert before you've finished the main. The chocolate mousse, served tableside with honeycomb and pistachios, suggests the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing with an exit line.
