Auckland’s Best Beef and Lamb Restaurants
New Zealand is renowned for its grass-fed farm fare and a question we often get asked is ‘which Auckland restaurants serve up the best beef and lamb?’ The New Zealand Beef and Lamb Excellence Awards 'Gold Plate' recognises the city chefs transforming tender cuts into lip-smacking fine cuisine.
As a taster, imagine eye-fillet steak served with beetroot, shiitake mushrooms, hollandaise and duck fat chips. Or a rack of lamb accompanied by kumara toast, lamb croquette, mint sauce, and mountain yoghurt.
If you’re a meat lover, look for the restaurants displaying the Beef and Lamb Excellence Award proudly on their wall. It’s here you can expect tasty, skillfully composed and superbly presented beef and lamb dishes.
