Rank 55. 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.

Rank 55. Rodd & Gunn The Lodge
New Zealand
Sheepskin draped over the chairs sets the mood before you've opened the menu: this is a full-service restaurant from the New Zealand clothing brand Rodd & Gunn, and yes, the boutique is right next door. The kitchen leans on local produce and slow-cooked meats, lamb shoulder especially, with a few Mediterranean detours along the way. The duck-fat roast potatoes have a small but devoted following, best ordered without consulting your waistband first.

Rank 113. Napoli Contemporanea
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A compact Neapolitan pizzeria on Parnell Road, where the electric oven faces the open kitchen and the whole room smells of dough with a proper crust. The chef is from outside Naples and has brought the full argument with him, including pasta and secondi alongside the pies. The Genovese turns up eighteen thousand kilometers from where it belongs and seems completely unbothered about it. Ranked among 50 Top Pizza's Asia-Pacific list.
