Lillius

Beyond the bustling chaos of Khyber Pass Rd lies an Auckland dining experience that redefines outstanding cooking and innovation. Step inside this chic sanctuary and prepare to be transported into chef Fraser McCarthy’s extraordinary world, where his menu transcends the ordinary. The chef's snacks are sensational so get ready for what could be a crispy boar jowl or a duck liver doughnut as an exciting prelude to what is to come. Hokkaido scallop with flavours of artichoke, sesame and crispy chicken skin is delicate and yet deep, market fish with potato, fennel and seafoam is comforting and yet fresh, and flavours of Granny Smith apple, feijoa, marigold and verbena are outrageously good. Select from à la carte or leave it to Fraser to decide for you; either way, what truly sets this experience apart is the thoughtfully curated drinks list that pairs seamlessly with the food. This is not just dining; it’s a celebration of creativity and craftsmanship that demands your attention.
