Rank 3. 1154 Pastaria
Italian
A casual pasta spot on Cuba Street where everything comes from fresh in-house dough made with free-range eggs and South Island semolina. The menu is short, the Bolognese is generous enough to silence the table, and a weekly special keeps regulars coming back. A long communal table makes you friends whether you planned on it or not. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, which in this case means good food without the performance.
-
Rank 4. Rita
New Zealand
A snug cottage in Aro Valley where the chef makes every decision for you, serving a three-course set menu that changes with each service. Named after the chef's grandmother, it has that energy. There's no agonizing over the menu, just whatever's good that day, often built around local kingfish or duck. Two sittings a night, and the kind of place where the booking fills up long before you thought to look.
