Giraffe

Giraffe pairs marina glamour with genuine warmth, a Viaduct Harbour fixture that feels elevated and welcoming in equal measure, comfortable hosting a client lunch or a lazy Sunday. The kitchen plays with modern New Zealand flavours, leaning on local produce for dishes that read comforting but land sophisticated: fresh catch of the day, New Zealand lamb, and a creamy osso buco risotto with its own regulars. Eggplant polpette rounds out the mains with something different, while dessert brings out the big guns — a golden saffron crème brûlée and an autumn ivory cheesecake worth saving room for.
