Apéro

Leslie Hottiaux and Ismo (Mo) Koski’s beloved wine bar and restaurant, Apéro, is a heartfelt realisation of their vision for a dining space rooted in honesty, integrity and consistency. This charming nook, situated on vibrant Karangahape Road, invites you to enjoy a French-inspired menu that evolves with the seasons, with some of the best wine suggestions you will ever receive to complement. Trust in their expertise and don't miss Leslie's toastie if it is on – it's truffle and comte and luxuriously comforting. Her pâté en croute is a wonder to behold and the fish of the day is always a delicious surprise. Anything with the word 'sausage' on the menu is a must-have at Apéro and the ever-changing blackboard specials are luscious. The roasted cauli with goat’s curd, fresh mint and almonds remains a long-term favourite, once you try it you'll understand why. Combine all of this with a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where great food, exceptional wine and memorable moments come together and this could just become your regular.
