The Verdict

Experience fine dining in a laidback, relaxed environment at Lillius. Located at the Eden Terrace end of Khyber Pass Road, the space exudes understated luxury with its sapphire and gold hues and plush velvet upholstery. From the dining area, you can peer under the arched feature wall to watch the chefs at work in the open kitchen at the restaurant's rear. 

The owners of Lillius, Shannon Vandy and Fraser McCarthy, have worked to create strong connections with their farmers and growers, which is reflected in the food offered. The dining options include a three-course or six-course culinary adventure. These menus change monthly to harness seasonal produce, but you can always expect unique flair to showcase the local ingredients which have been put on the plate. Popular dishes include sustainably collected paua from Tora Collective with fresh peas, seaweed and dill, and the delightful scampi stuffed crispy chicken wing.

For a dining experience that's fun, creative and a bit different, get all your boxes ticked with Lillius.

Food & Drink

Bistro Saine

Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).

Restaurants

Takapuna Surf Club

When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
