Michael Meredith's new restaurant Mr Morris has made an immediate impact in the Auckland dining scene, being named the best eatery in Auckland.
NZ Herald magazine Viva today launched its first Restaurant Awards, naming the top 50 places to eat in central Auckland in 2021. The Supreme Winner, Mr Morris, is in Britomart and only opened last November.
Viva's dining out editor Jesse Mulligan teamed up with the city's foremost food influencer and creator of @Eatlitfood, Albert Cho, to create the list, which includes an incredible 16 new Auckland eateries, all of which have opened in the past year.
The awards are a celebration of Auckland's diverse and thriving dining scene, despite adversity.
"It's incredible to think that given what New Zealand was going through 12 months ago that we could be here giving out a Top 50 Restaurants list which includes 16 new restaurants, which each bring something totally unique and unexpected. We're one of the luckiest countries in the world and Auckland is a truly international dining city," says Mulligan.
