Few Auckland eateries hold the culinary clout of the Michael Meredith helmed Metita. In fact, it’s hard to believe that the SkyCity eatery was only established two years ago.
To celebrate Metita’s second birthday, the award-winning restaurant will partner with Apéro’s chef Leslie Hottiaux, in a milestone event that brings together two highly acclaimed chefs at the very top of their game.
On Wednesday November 12th, from 6pm onwards, Metita’s guests will be treated to an 11-dish French Polynesian feast of epic proportions, featuring a menu that blends the very heart and soul of the Pacific, heralding chef Meredith’s Samoan lineage, with the refinement of French cuisine — reminiscent of what you’d expect from the K-Road mainstay. On arrival, guests will receive a cocktail and a series of reimagined snacks, followed with a menu that delights the senses at every turn. It’s a fitting culmination of culture and craft from two of the country’s finest.
“When I thought about how to celebrate Metita turning two, I wanted to do something that truly reflects what I love most about food — connection, collaboration, and culture,” says chef Meredith.
“For me, Apéro has always been one of Auckland’s most special restaurants. Leslie and Mo have created a space that feels honest and soulful and Leslie’s cooking has this ability to transport you somewhere else entirely. So, to mark our second birthday, Leslie will join me in the kitchen, blending French cuisine with the warmth and depth of Pacific flavours, to create something unique.”
A culinary collaboration of this calibre doesn’t come around all too often, so be sure to secure your tickets for what’s destined to be one unforgettable night.
