This all-day bistro is bringing a sophisticated European vibe to the heart of the city.

The creators of Odettes have transformed a compact inner city space in a historic building on Shortland Street into a stunning eatery serving European classics with a modern twist. 

Positioned amidst Auckland’s bustling cityscape, Hugo’s Bistro offers all day dining- a place to perch at the bar & grab the morning coffee, meet friends for an afternoon Aperitivo, grab something from our take away menu or eat in the welcoming dining room and bar.
