The Top 13 Restaurants Near A'mano
-
Rank 1. A'mano
Italian
-
Focaccia baked in-house and charred on the grill is a good sign, and at Earl it sets the tone for the rest of the menu. This bright, open-kitchen bistro on Lichfield Street runs on seasonal local produce handled in a quietly European way, with sharing plates and the kind of warmth that makes you stay longer than planned. The Michelin Guide gave it a Bib Gourmand, and the booth regulars look entirely unsurprised.

Rank 3. Inati
European Contemporary New Zealand
-
Rank 4. The Monday Room
New Zealand
A former bar that found its calling as a dining room, The Monday Room sits inside a heritage building on High Street and runs on the logic that food is better shared. The chef leans on seasonal local produce to reimagine European classics, and the menu scales up from a set menu to a full banquet. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the format rewards groups willing to surrender the ordering to the kitchen.

Rank 6. Odeon
Mediterranean
Akaroa salmon and Lumina lamb anchor a sharing-plates menu that moves between Andalusia and the Middle East, with most of the produce pulled from the Canterbury region. Odeon is a relaxed Mediterranean restaurant on a block thick with competition, and the "Just Feed Me" option hands the choices to the kitchen if you'd rather not decide. The wine list leans organic and biodynamic, and it holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.
