"It would be difficult to find someone in Auckland who doesn’t hold a special place in their heart for Cazador. The second-generation, family-owned Dominion Road haunt, run by Dariush Lolaiy and Rebecca Smidt, has harnessed a special sort of warmth within the rustic space outfitted with taxidermied animal heads. Known for his affinity for meat cookery and for making some of the best charcuterie in town, Lolaiy leans on rich flavors of pan-fried quail hearts and beautifully braised boar to create his uniquely bold offering. If the food wasn’t enough, front-of-house fixture Simon Benoit brings in customers with a thoughtful collection of sherry and effortless service. Hot tip: Cazador Deli, next door, offers some of the best pies in the city. — HE" - Hillary Eaton, Leisha Jones
