The Lodge, Commercial Bay

The Lodge at Commercial Bay is a sophisticated city spot celebrating the best of New Zealand produce in an elegant yet relaxed setting. Set at the foot of Queen Street, where the Rodd & Gunn story began, it’s an ideal spot for post-work drinks, leisurely lunches or celebratory dinners. Start with fresh oysters or the house-cured Ōra King salmon before settling into delicious dishes such as the roasted lamb shoulder with tomato ragu and oregano rigatoni, or if you're in the mood for a steak, the New York strip steak is a must have. Pair the meal with a signature Vodd & Gunner cocktail or pour a refreshing glass of bubbly. Make sure you save some extra room for a sweet finish; the passionfruit pavlova with passionfruit curd and whipped cream is a wonderfully Kiwi classic to end your meal on a high. Rodd and Gunn is the perfect spot to settle in for the night as Auckland's city lights begin to sparkle.
