Come for a coast along the French Riviera, saunter through Sicily, then let’s get lost in the magnificence of Morocco.
With the warm embrace of humble tradition, Esther brings the authentic tastes of the Mediterranean’s sun-soaked shores to Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour.
Inspired by travels chasing the food of the sun, renowned head chef Sean Connolly uses home-grown ingredients to share traditional techniques and flavours. He artfully mixes honest simplicity with a spritz of wonder.
The open country-style kitchen provides a homely welcome. Produce is theatrically prepped for a sustainable menu that focuses on local daily caught seafood.
Get caught up in Esther’s wanderlust where lavish dinners drift up to cocktails at our rooftop bar.
