restaurant month in the heart of the city
1st – 31st august
every august, auckland’s biggest celebration of dining comes around, giving food lovers the perfect excuse to discover the city’s best restaurants — and this year, SOUL is ready to steal the show.
the menu? pure temptation. citrusy tuna carpaccio. crispy salt & pepper squid so tender and tasty you won’t want to share. ooh la la – a creamy chicken vol-au-vent. handmade seafood spaghetti, silky and generous. succulent confit duck. grass-fed bavette finished with a decadent truffle jus gras. a menu so good you’ll need to come back to try everything.
kick things off with envy me — our tropical tequila cocktail, shaken up with coconut, pandan, lime leaf and fresh lime. then settle in for two courses, a beautifully paired vavasour wine (or two, we won’t judge), and — if you’re doing it properly — save room for the chocolate & orange soufflé. it’s non-negotiable.
midweek catch-up. date night. long lunch. or just a very good excuse to eat exceptionally well — whatever brings you in, we’ve got your table waiting. don’t miss out.
august has never tasted so good.
