Hugo’s Bistro

This pocket-sized central-city bistro is a favourite of the legal fraternity and has a real business feel to it. A lovely short selection of both starters and main courses reflect thoughtfulness and care for prime fresh ingredients and are accompanied by excellent wine. Choose market fish that’s bound to surprise or an excellent prime steak with clever accompaniments. The warm and inviting atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to grab a seat at the bar for a quick bite between meetings, or to sink into one of their cosy booths for a leisurely meal. Diners rave about the fare coming from the open kitchen, with standout dishes like the tartine of grilled shishito peppers, ‘nduja butter and house ham or the grilled duck breast, grilled peaches, olives and polenta. Don’t miss out on this top-notch bistro that truly shines on Shortland Street.
