Eclectic, vibrant and energetic. We’re throwing a fiesta this August in one of the city centre’s favourite laneways. From live music with that infectious Latin beat, to tacos and tortilla pop-ups, this is one event you don’t want to miss out on as Imperial Lane & Everybody’s come alive this Restaurant Month.
Food is our muse, so gather the group, dust off your finest outfit, and join us for Restaurant Month’s biggest night out. It’s all under a shelter – leave those umbrellas at the door!
Start the evening right with a welcome drink on arrival – a choice of wine from top New Zealand wineries, or a sparkling Italian fruit beverage by Sanpellegrino. Then the aroma of deliciousness awaits – savour moreish delights from a line up from the laneways’ favourite eats, and joining these establishments are some innovative pop ups that have come onto the dining radar of keen foodies: Ragtag Tacos, with their duck fat tortillas with sublime taco fillings and Passa Passa with their beloved pizza fritta, one of the oldest form of pizzas with a fresh Passa Passa twist. Both pop ups have developed a strong following since their inception.

- Special performance by high energy alternative indie rock band The Rvmes
