Depot

If you're looking for a true taste of New Zealand, make your way to Al Brown's bustling spot on Federal Street at SkyCity. For over a decade it has been a haven for food lovers, buzzing with energy and creativity. The heart of the kitchen beats with the smoky allure of charcoal cooking and the raw bar is an absolute must-try. Dive into trevally sashimi or Regal salmon tartare with preserved lemon cream and potato fritters or a sizzling skirt steak with tobacco onions, iceberg wedge and ranch dressing. And let’s not forget the iconic fish sliders. The food at Depot is nothing short of a culinary treasure – just like Al! Save room for the famous sugar pie made from cream, brown sugar and eggs – dedicated to a talented French-Canadian pastry chef who stole Al's heart, it is simply spectacular. With Al now crafting his own Tipping Point Wines, you can feel his personality at every Depot touchpoint executed by an outstanding team of professionals. This isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a celebration of Kiwi casual at its finest.
