The Nightcar, nestled beneath Auckland’s Queen Street, is a sophisticated lounge bar inspired by the French Concession in China. Their modern Chinese menu pays homage to flavours north of the Yangtze River, featuring dishes like Zha Jiang Mian (pork belly with Yangchun noodles), lightly seared lamb spare ribs with cumin and chilli, and ci ba—panko-crusted rice cake drizzled with brown sugar. Complementing the cuisine is a curated selection of cocktails, diverse spirits, and an international wine list. The interior evokes luxurious train travel with plush booth seating and a film noir ambiance.
