East offers a modern Asian, plant-focused dining experience inspired by flavours from across the East, from Thailand and Japan to Korea and China. Built on the belief that vegetarian and vegan cuisine should be bold, vibrant and full of flavour, our menu celebrates salty, sweet, sour and spicy elements while maintaining a strong focus on sustainability. Designed for sharing, the food is complemented by one of New Zealand’s few 100% organic and vegan wine lists, supporting local artisanal producers. The space blends stylish design with a relaxed atmosphere, creating a refined yet welcoming dining experience for guests.
Sunset Bar is a contemporary rooftop bar offering a seasonal menu of bespoke cocktails, an eclectic selection of local and international wines, a locally focused beer offering, and food inspired by the vibrant flavours of Mumbai street cuisine. Sunset delivers a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere, pairing refined bar dining with a strong beverage focus. The kitchen supports a social, stylish environment where guests come together for after work drinks, casual dining, and memorable evenings, all set against panoramic city and harbour views.
