If you're starting with something, start with this.

Meet our steak tartare. Chopped beef, capers, shallots, paprika and fried salada crackers. On the dinner menu nightly from 5pm, entirely worth coming in for on its own.

If there's one thing guaranteed to get everyone off their phones at team drinks, it's a good cheese board.

New Zealand artisan cheese, chutney, nuts, sourdough and crackers. Pull up a seat and get stuck in. 🌿

The menus have had a big few weeks and so has our kitchen team.

Two menus, one group of incredibly talented people behind them. A new dinner menu and now lunch too, built by the people we're proud to call our team.

Ask the team what they'd have for lunch. It's this.

Meet our Turkish fried chicken sandwich, tzatziki, Aleppo butter, shredded cos and jalapeño mayo.

Who knew something so simple could so easily become a table staple.

sourdough paired with our house made marmite butter. A must before a lazy Sunday lunch or your evening kickstarter.

Location matters. So does the space.

We sit above Federal Street, a sun soaked garden escape tucked behind a hidden staircase in the heart of the city. From intimate client dinners to birthday celebrations, we've hosted it all and we can cater for up to 320. Grazing platters, a full drinks offering and a space to escape the day and welcome the night.

We reckon it's time to get the word out. Lunch is now on at Glass Goose.

Now available every day from 12pm to 3pm. 🌿

Mother's Day is around the corner, why not treat mum to something a little more than breakfast in bed.

We've put together a set menu for the occasion, designed to be enjoyed amongst the green of our garden escape. An experience she'll truly adore.

This one's for her.

Sometimes a new dish puts you in the mood for something refreshing to drink alongside it.

The Tropical Cosmo is one we keep coming back to. Vodka, lychee, lemon and cranberry.

16/04/2026

Our sundeck had a big summer. So did we.

Thanks for being part of it. 🍊

14/04/2026

The new menu keeps on giving. Mt Cook salmon pastrami on fresh crumpets, crème fraiche, pickled onions, dill.

Order it to start, order it to share, order it because you need something to do while you decide what's next.

Just don't be surprised when everyone at the table wants in.

09/04/2026

The new menu is here to stay. The sun on the other hand, no promises.

Get up top while you can, find your spot and try something from our new menu while the sun is still playing ball. An Aperol in hand might just make the day a little brighter. 🍊

07/04/2026

Our new menu has arrived and it's time to meet the contenders for your next favourite.

Up first, yellowfin tuna, pink grapefruit, cauliflower, sumac and basil. A plate that still tastes like a kiwi summer even as autumn starts doing its thing. Grab a spot on the sundeck, pair it with a house cocktail or a tall crisp pint and enjoy it while the sun still shows its face.

There's plenty more to come and we can't wait to share them with you. 🌿

01/04/2026

After work drinks just got a whole lot harder to skip out on.

Our new snack lineup is looking mighty fine. Mt Cook salmon pastrami crumpets, fish finger sliders, buffalo mozzarella with grilled stone fruits. Bring the colleagues you actually like. Or the ones you don't. A spread like this makes anyone better company. 🌿

30/03/2026

The new menu is in your hands and our kitchen hasn't slowed down since. New flavours, new plates, a whole new experience to share.

All waiting for you in the same green oasis you know and love 🌿

26/03/2026

Before it reached you, it had to win us over first.

Our team gathered around the table, plates came out and the energy in the room said everything. Every dish tasted, talked about and refined until it felt just right.

We're so proud of what we've put together and we honestly can't wait for you to experience it. Come see what we've been up to. Find us off Fed Street 🌿

25/03/2026

Our team has been busy behind the scenes and we're finally ready to share our fresh new menu 🌿

We've loved working with some of Aotearoa's finest culinary talent to shape a menu that feels right at home on our rooftop. Familiar in feeling, entirely its own in flavour. Seasonal ingredients, a few clever touches, and dishes built around the kind of food you actually want to eat, in your favourite city escape.

Pork scratchings with puffed crackling and kiwi onion dip, sweetcorn and jalapeño hushpuppies with comeback sauce, cauliflower cacio e pepe, Black Angus bavette with oyster mushrooms and black garlic. Something for every kind of visit and every kind of appetite.

The duck fat potato skins? Still here, don't worry.

We honestly can't wait for you to try it all.

19/03/2026

No one is more excited about a refreshed menu than our team 🌿

We gathered, passed plates around the table and learnt every detail of what will soon become your new Fed Street favourites.

Dish after dish, the verdict was exceptional!

A menu made for the space each of you come to call your own. Your garden hideaway in the heart of the city.

Whether it's a snack to complement the cocktail in your hand, a reason to celebrate or the after work meal that makes the day worth getting through.

We can't wait for you to try it.

17/03/2026

We've been a little busy behind the scenes.

The kitchen is abuzz, but we're not quite ready to give it all away just yet.

New menu. New favourites. Watch this space.

12/03/2026

The Sky Tower is hard to miss. We're a little more hidden.

Up the staircase off Federal Street, with rooftop views that remind you exactly where you are.

Come find us 🌿

Kahlua, vodka, espresso, & foam.
