Milenta

The 38 Best Restaurants in Tāmaki Makaurau (Auckland, New Zealand) | Eater

"There’s a festive holiday feeling at Milenta that’s hard to put your finger on. Maybe it’s the alfresco dining room set under a canopy of lush trees, or the South American-inspired fare by chef Elie Assaf, who takes pride in sourcing unique ingredients from local shores and cooking them over fire and coals in the open kitchen. But it’s most likely the fact that Milenta was conceived by some of the city’s most seasoned party planners, who know how to set the mood for a good night out. Stick around long enough and you might gain access to the adjoining members-only club — the Shy Guy — where you can dance off your dinner. — LJ" - Hillary Eaton
