Onslow

Onslow is a polished inner-city dining room that leans into quiet luxury, where chef Josh Emett’s international experience is expressed through refined technique, seasonal New Zealand produce and a strong focus on service. The space itself carries a calm elegance, setting the tone for a meal that feels considered from start to finish. The menu is rooted in classic structure with modern execution. Standouts include yellowfin tuna carpaccio and king prawn béarnaise with pickled cipollini onions, each dish carefully balanced and cleanly presented. For something more substantial, the Southern Stations wagyu sirloin with braised pāua cream, potato croquette and pickled wakame brings richness and depth without losing finesse. Dessert is a highlight, particularly the whipped basque cheesecake with carrot sorbet, pistachio filo and carrot caramel, a layered, textural finish that feels both inventive and restrained. Supported by a strong wine programme and a cocktail list designed with precision, Onslow delivers an experience built on elegance, control and consistency, where every detail feels intentionally placed.
