The city centre is the home of Christmas in Auckland and the festivities have arrived early! We won't question it... after all Christmas is the perfect excuse to head out for a drink and something delicious to eat. This is the place to be, if all you want for Christmas is a three-course lunch without the dishes. We've got all your catch-up ideas sorted, from summery cocktails and tapas by the waterfront to a holiday feast with all the trimmings (champagne and luxurious surroundings). Escape & indulge in the city centre this very grown-up Christmas.

'Tis the season for long lunches, festive dinners & treats!
