While the concept of engaging in a ‘trust the chef’ dining experience should come with a warning to also ‘know the chef’ first, in the case of Gareth Stewart, his impressive 30-year career (and the fact that here at Denizen, we’ve been long-standing members of Mr Stewart‘s fan club) renders this null and void. And we know for a fact that Stewart is playing his finest tune yet at the helm of Advieh — the exceptional Middle Eastern eatery within the InterContinental Auckland at Commercial Bay.
Honouring the flavour-filled nuances of Middle Eastern cuisine, and enhancing them further by employing locally sourced seasonal ingredients, we wholly agree with Stewart when he recently told us; “I’m confident there is nothing like Advieh in Auckland.”
To truly experience Stewart’s expertise, we recommend jumping head first into the Banquet menus and simply just ‘trust the chef’ — because he’s not going to let you down. Designed to showcase a deliciously diverse insight into Stewart’s meticulously crafted dishes, the curated multi-course menus act as an exploration of far-flung flavour profiles via a selection of the restaurant’s most popular dishes.
From delicately crafted chicken liver baklava filo with pistachio, preserved cherry, and manuka honey, to day boat market fish with cauliflower tabbouleh, hawaij butter, burnt lemon, and sorrel, the Banquet menus are the perfect opportunity to sit back and enjoy a delicious dining experience.
Advieh Banquet Menu is available for a minimum of two guests and is priced at $95 per person. Advieh Signature Banquet Menu is available for a minimum of four guests and is priced at $129, and the banquet is available for dinner service only. We suggest booking your table today.
