Origine benefits from its great spot overlooking Waitemata Harbour; you’ll even find a pair of sunnies on the window tables in the bright, open room. The appealing menu blends French flavours and techniques with local, seasonal produce and there’s a satisfying generosity to the cooking, both in size and in flavour. Gurnard comes with plump Mills Bay mussels; French onion soup is enhanced by an oxtail toastie; and the rich and velvety chocolate mousse is served tableside with a great selection of add-ons, from honeycomb to pistachios.
