Mr Morris

Mr Morris is Michael Meredith’s contemporary Auckland dining room where New Zealand, Pacific and Asian influences are blended into a calm, confident expression of modern cuisine. The space is relaxed yet refined and the menu is guided by seasonality and intuition rather than strict formality, focusing on ethical, local produce treated with precision and restraint. Dishes such as oyster mushrooms with salt and pepper vinegar set the tone, simple in structure but layered in flavour while blue cod with pickled mushroom, yeast butter and broccolini shows the kitchen’s ability to balance richness, acidity and freshness. Dessert leans comforting and distinctive, with salted coconut and smoked banana caramel delivering warmth and depth without heaviness. With an extensive drinks list, featuring thoughtful wines, creative cocktails and a strong focus on pairing, each visit feels even more complete. Mr Morris is ultimately about considered cooking and quiet confidence, where familiar ingredients are reworked with clarity, purpose and a strong sense of place. You’ll leave wondering when you’ll next return.
