Some evenings deserve a slower finish.
A warm crumble shared across the table.
Or a cocktail that feels like dessert in its own right.
Our Spiced Apple & Blackberry Crumble is made with stem ginger, cinnamon, Kapiti vanilla ice cream and hibiscus.
And if you'd rather sip your dessert, our Damson Plum Amaretto Sour is rich, velvety and bright, balancing amaretto, damson plum, whisky and fresh lemon.
Whatever your kind of dessert is, Friday seems like a good excuse.
Open from 5.30pm

Every now and then, you create something that means a little more than what's in the cup.
Fourteen and a half years ago, neither of us knew our lives were about to change.
Anna and I met while living in Chamonix, in the French Alps, beneath the towering peak of Mont Blanc.
What started as one ski season turned into a lifetime together.
Those months were filled with early mornings, endless snow, climbing glaciers, riding every chance we got, and making memories we'll never forget. Looking back through these old photos reminds us just how much that place shaped our lives.
This winter, we've brought a little piece of that chapter to Brewed As.
Mont Blanc
A salted caramel cold brew, finished with a cloud of vanilla cream and bright orange zest.
Inspired by crisp alpine mornings, fresh snow, and the place that changed our lives.

Not every kid orders nuggets.
Some come for the dumplings.
Some love the pasta.
And some skip straight to the banana split.
Whatever their favourite, there's something on the menu for every little foodie.

As Matariki approaches, we've been reflecting on what this time of year means to us.
It's a chance to slow down, spend time with the people around us, and appreciate the incredible produce Aotearoa has to offer.
To mark the occasion, we've created a special five-plate shared feast that celebrates some of our favourite New Zealand ingredients. From Haku kingfish and Northland lamb to carefully selected New Zealand wines, it's a menu designed to be enjoyed together.
Available Wednesday–Saturday evenings from 5.30pm.
Optional New Zealand wine pairing available.
Bookings are recommended.
