IS THIS AUCKLAND'S BEST VALUE LUNCH?

Today, despite greyish skies, I lunched with three mates on the deck at Fish at The Hilton Auckland. With all those ferries and fishermen whizzing by on three sides, this may be the best sited restaurant in the city.

I'll go there again for Chef Shane Yardley has put together the most delicious Bento Box lunch, complete with an Aperol on ice for $29.50. Four huge crisp tempura prawns, a tasty wagyu slider, some thick slices of fresh rare tuna on mash with grapefruity/lemony garnish and a superb little mango and rice pudding with dried mango crisps. Heaven. Don't miss it!
