"Bar Céleste on Auckland’s Karangahape Road is equal parts grungy and chic. You can eat ice-cold oysters on the street, or dine on luxuriously simple food that changes often: superior cuts of meat, asparagus with hollandaise, or brown butter-drenched sole. Owners Nick Landsman and Emma Ogilvie have a penchant for unfussy French food and natural wine, and they know how to throw a party. From time to time you’ll find a DJ posted up in the window, smash burgers being served late into the night, or the crowd spilling out onto the sidewalk to enjoy German wines with schnitzel sandwiches. — LJ" - Hillary Eaton, Leisha Jones
