Spoil your mum with a long lunch at kingi this Mother’s Day. We’ve created a special Mother’s Day menu featuring a choice of bubbles or kingi spritz on arrival before sitting down to a selection of antipasti to share and a choice of pan-roasted snapper, chickpea farinata or confit duck leg, all for $75 per person. Make the lunch extra special with add-ons of pacific oysters to start and a decadent dessert to finish.
Reserve your place here.
Wednesday 9th and 23rd April from 5pm
Live DJ sessions at kingi continue through Autumn! DJ Nick Takashima will play a set of soul, funk, house and jazzy beats to enjoy alongside a special drinks list, and kingi plates you know and love.
Come along for a dose of great tunes and book a table ahead of time if you’re in the mood for more than drinks and small bites.
Three-course dinner | Matched wines | Tuesday 20th May 5.30pm | $175pp
A little bit of mystery, a lot of great food. Taste of Tuawhiti is a progressive dinner across three of Auckland’s best restaurants: kingi, Café Hanoi, and Ghost Street, all tucked into Tuawhiti Lane in the Britomart neighbourhood.
Where you start is a surprise. Arrive at The Hotel Britomart Lobby Lounge, enjoy a glass of bubbles, and find out where your first course will be served. From there, you’ll move between restaurants, swapping places with other guests as you experience a curated three-course meal, with each course and wine match served in a different venue.
Expect fresh sustainably sourced seafood at kingi, with dishes like kingfish crudo with grapefruit, caper and bay leaf or pan-seared snapper with tomato crayfish bisque, fregola and fennel. At Café Hanoi, modern Vietnamese flavours take centre stage with dishes like ginger galangal chicken with pickled vegetables and green papaya salad with shrimp. And at Ghost Street, bold Beijing-inspired cooking shines in plates like honey glazed cha shao pork and steamed vegetables with aromatic fried rice.
It’s a journey through some of the city’s top kitchens with wine pairings, good company, and a little spontaneity thrown in.
Weekdays 12 – 2.30pm. $35 for a main and drink
Fast, simple, tasty: Our kingi Express Lunch menu is available weekdays from 12–2pm. This menu is stacked with classic kingi flavours, like shellfish tagliatelle with nduja, raw tuna Caesar salad, and Wagyu steak on flatbread. It’s the weekday lunch game, elevated.
