Tiffany & Co. captures the spirit of the season with Anya Taylor-Joy

With its 2025 holiday campaign, Tiffany & Co. reaffirms its place as the ultimate house of love and luxury — starring actor Anya Taylor-Joy in a cinematic celebration of connection, heritage, and timeless beauty.

Few boxes in the world hold as much meaning as Tiffany’s — the iconic Tiffany Blue symbolises not just luxury, but pure emotion. In its 2025 holiday campaign, Love Is a Gift, the storied jeweller turns that feeling into film, enlisting global ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy to lead a dazzling ode to love in all its forms.

Shot in Los Angeles by director Jonas Lindstroem, with stills by Carlijn Jacobs, the campaign unfurls like a cinematic love letter — equal parts glamour, sentiment and modern storytelling.

Taylor-Joy, radiant and effortlessly poised, embarks on a journey from New York to London, Tokyo and beyond, tracing the paths of Tiffany’s Blue Boxes as they pass from hand to hand, heart to heart.

Anchored by the campaign’s central motif — a flowing white satin ribbon — the narrative captures the many expressions of love: romantic, familial and self. Each moment finds its visual echo in the jewels Taylor-Joy wears, from the sculptural forms of Tiffany HardWear to the elegance of the Lock, T and Knot collections. There’s also a luminous preview of the Bird on a Rock collection — a signature design reinvented for a new generation of collectors.

Yet what makes the campaign so compelling is its intimacy. Amid the grandeur of the season, it reminds us that the most precious gifts are not material, but instead felt in the exchange itself — a sentiment sealed in Anya’s closing words: “And whether shared with another or with ourselves, love, in all its facets, is the most precious gift of all.”

Concluding on the snow-dusted streets of New York City, outside Tiffany’s iconic Landmark store, Love Is a Gift captures the rare balance of nostalgia and newness that defines the house today. It’s a campaign that doesn’t just celebrate jewellery — it celebrates the emotion that inspires it.

Tiffany & Co. once again proves that love, like craftsmanship, never goes out of style.

Minotti’s 2025 Sofa Collection are a study in sculptural comfort and timeless design

Minotti’s 2025 Sofa Collection celebrates the brand’s mastery of modern living with two new silhouettes that perfectly balance artistry and comfort. Each piece captures the Italian atelier’s signature ability to merge form and function, creating interiors that feel both deeply personal and effortlessly refined.

The Bézier system, designed by Studio MK27, redefines modular seating with fluid, organic lines that can be endlessly configured. Inspired by parametric curves and Brazilian modernism, its sculptural rhythm transforms any space into a living landscape.

Meanwhile, the Coupé Sofa is a statement in sculptural simplicity. Defined by rounded, overlapping volumes and an elegant nod to 60s and 70s design, it offers an invitingly deep seat enhanced by an ergonomic incline, padded headrest, and tailored lumbar support. Subtle tone-on-tone stitching and couture-inspired details reflect the house’s uncompromising craftsmanship.

The complete 2025 Collection is now available to view at Minotti Studio, ECC Auckland

Our November dining guide has all the reasons to head out

As we finally start to thaw out and look ahead to long lunches and revived spring menus, preferably with a seat in the sun, there’s no time quite like the present to fill the calendar with November dining events. From annual wine pop-ups to much-anticipated culinary collaborations, we like to think of spring as the perfect precursor to the festive season ahead. In a bid to keep you well-fed from start to finish, consult our dining guide for the best foodie happenings to know about (and book into) throughout November.

Huami’s Perrier-Jouët Garden Bar transforms into a floral atelier, part sensory escape, part social indulgence. Guests are invited to create something beautiful, guided by the floral artistry of talented florists from Blush, with a glass of Perrier-Jouët Champagne in hand, set against a lush garden backdrop. Expect a fun afternoon of fragrance, florals, and effervescence, as you sip, snip, and savour delicious dim sum while crafting your own arrangement to take home. Book here.

Somm Sundowns

After a typically wet and weary Auckland winter, warmer climes and lighter spring menu edits usher in a welcome change. In keeping with their expansive local wine list (conveniently available by the glass) and a plethora of gastro offerings to boot, Somm’s October menu edit has arrived at precisely the right time. What’s more, to kick start the summer season in one of our favourite seaside locales, Somm Sundowns has officially returned, offering an extended happy hour menu from 4 pm until 6 pm daily.

‘Tis the season for tasty little morsels from Knead on Benson

Knead On Benson Christmas Offerings

‘Tis the season for tasty little morsels, courtesy of Remuera’s favourite local bakery. Available from October 27 right up until Christmas, this year’s seasonal selection includes a nostalgic runlist of tried and true gems — think house-made fruit mince tarts, the biscuit selection, Christmas cake and the almost too-pretty-to-eat gingerbread tree.

Perrier-Jouët Garden Bar at Huami

SkyCity’s epic food festival, Served, will return this November. Among this year’s seasonal standouts, the Perrier-Jouët Garden Bar at Huami will return on November 5, running right through until February 1.

DineAid Christmas Campaign Returns

It’s the season for giving — and dining out has never felt more rewarding. From November 1 to December 31, 61 of the country’s favourite restaurants are joining forces for the 13th annual DineAid Christmas campaign, proving that a little generosity can go a long way. The initiative encourages diners to add a $3 donation to their bill, or $1–$3 to a featured dish or cocktail, with every cent going directly to City Missions across Aotearoa.

Thanks to the generous backing of Precinct Properties, one hundred per cent of donations raised will help fund food banks and community kitchens through City Missions in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, reaching more than 135 distribution points nationwide. It’s a deliciously simple way to do good while enjoying a long lunch or festive dinner out.

Founder Mark Gregory says, “We’re so grateful to the restaurants and diners who show up for DineAid each year — their kindness makes a tangible difference to families in need.”

So this festive season, eat, drink and give generously — because every bite counts.

The DineAid Christmas Campaign runs from November 1 to December 31, 2025. For a full list of participating venues, click here.

Ayrburn Whisky Flights in the Vintner’s Bar

Treat your resident whiskey connoisseur or brush up on your own knowledge at one of Ayrburn’s Whiskey Flights. Guests will enjoy a range of artisanal drops from time-honoured distilleries in both Ireland and Central Otago. Designed to be enjoyed at your own pace, the full flight allows guests to sample the very best on offer, alongside a curated selection of cheeses and gourmet chocolate. No booking required, settle into Ayrburn’s Vintner’s Bar and let the atmosphere take hold. Available from 11:30 am, 7 days a week. 

Maison Vauron Rosé Market Day

A firm fixture on our spring calendar, the one-and-only Maison Vauron is back with their hotly anticipated Rosé Market Day — just in case that European holiday was starting to feel very far away. This free event will take place on Saturday, November 8, and features over 20 rosé wines from boutique producers across regions like Provence, Méditerranée, Bandol, Bordeaux, Loire, Beaujolais, and the Languedoc. Guests will be treated to live music, an array of French food trucks, and cheese from La Fromagerie, served alongside fresh cafe fare from L’Atelier du Fromage. We can’t think of a better way to spend a Saturday.

Campari Laneway Sessions

Nothing says “summer’s beckoning” quite like a Spritz. Kicking off on Friday, the 7th of November and scheduled to run for seven full weeks, Campari will take over Bar Ziti’s iconic laneway for the Campari Laneway Sessions series. Expect resident DJs from 5 pm until 8 pm every Friday, a curated selection of spritzes and aperitivo hour between 4 pm and 6 pm.

Kohi Beach Fish & Chips Pop-up

One for the entire family to enjoy, Kohi Beach will resume its Fish & Chips Pop-up from the end of October. Make full use of the extended daylight hours and treat little gourmands to the full line-up of Kiwi classics — think fish burgers, prawn toasts, hot chips and cray rolls.

Highlights from Andiamo’s fresh new spring menu

Andiamo’s New Menu

Officially reopening to a steadfast and true loyal following on Wednesday, October 22, the beloved Auckland eatery has quite literally never looked better — with a fresh new spring menu to boot. Diners can expect to be thoroughly impressed by the additions, including the melt-in-your-mouth bruschetta toasts topped with smoked fish, green tomatoes and capers, or the deliciously shareable Vitello Tonnato with rose veal, tuna mayo and caper berries. Sitting neatly alongside hero dishes with cult followings, the newest gastronomic delights further bolster a menu that, quite frankly, needs no introduction.

Gaja’s new and improved spring menu

Gaja’s New Menu

Our go-to for a well-balanced Bibimbap or impromptu takeaway night, Gaja has fast become one of Auckland’s best Korean eateries. What’s more, the Ponsonby Central mainstay has just released a new, improved spring menu, featuring no dishes over $20. We suggest you gather your friends and indulge in Seoul’s authentic flavours.

Bar Magda’s fourth vintage — 2024 Magda “heart breaker”

Bar Magda BYO

Tucked down a Cross Street staircase, Bar Magda feels like a sultry little secret — a low-lit lair where Aotearoa’s seasonal bounty meets Filipino soul. Chef Carlo Buenaventura’s menu never misses, and with a $65-per-person set menu and no corkage fee, it’s high time to pay a visit (if you haven’t already). What’s more, this hidden gem has recently introduced their very own vintage, the 2024 Magda — a tannin-rich, chilled red blend, produced by Brood fermentation in Nelson, in collaboration with chef Carlo — we strongly suggest keeping Bar Magda in steady rotation.

Enjoy High Tea in the Libraries and devour an array of sweet and savoury delights

Aotearoa High Tea in The Libraries at The Hotel Britomart

Offering a curated combination of art, design, and culinary delights, High Tea in The Libraries at The Hotel Britomart is back, featuring a whole host of contemporary delicacies crafted by executive chef Andrew Lautenbach. Drawing inspiration from his favourite childhood sweet treats, guests will be welcomed to the space with a glass of No1 Family Estate Assemblé, followed by a selection of teas from Zealong. An afternoon in The Hotel Britomart, devouring an array of sweet and savoury delights — sounds heavenly.

Lawson’s Dry Hills Winemakers’ Degustation Dinner at The Libraries

Wine-lovers, mark your calendars. Lawson’s Dry Hills’ chief winemaker Marcus Wright and Kingi’s head chef Stefania Palermo will come together to host a casual, free-flowing tasting on November 26 in the Kingi courtyard. For $57 per person, guests can expect tailored food and wine pairings alongside insights into both the vineyards and intricacies of the winemaking process, celebrating the very best of the Marlborough region.

Happy Hour at Advieh in Commercial Bay

In a bid to keep spirits high until summer, make a beeline to Commercial Bay to enjoy the welcome return of Advieh’s Happy Hour. Available daily from 3 pm until 7 pm, the new and improved menu includes an impressive lineup of cocktails and bar snacks. Hero libations include the Wild Dahlia Roots — a refreshing combination of gin, crème de cassis, pomegranate shrub, lemonade, coconut and lime foam. Chef’s kiss.

Silo Park Auckland Night Markets

Treat yourself to flavours from around the globe in the very heart of Auckland’s CBD, with Silo Park’s beloved Auckland Night Market, now back in full force. Open every Saturday from 4 pm until midnight and Sunday from 4 pm-11 pm, the city comes to life throughout summer with colourful stalls, live music, and a mouth-watering array of street eats.

Queens Rooftop

Set against one of the city’s most breathtaking backdrops, the much-loved Queens Rooftop is turning up the excitement this November, all to champion a worthy cause. From November 28 at 12 pm to November 29, DJ Tim Richards will spin non-stop for 24 hours. The aim: raise $10,000 for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer.

All weekend long, Queens will come alive with music and community happenings, from a ticketed late-night party to a sunrise breakfast featuring Allpress coffee, Morning Made matcha, and a rolling Bloody Mary cart. The festivities will finish strong with the Queens Record Fair, where crate-digging and good vibes take centre stage.

Queens is also joining forces with DineAid this November and December, giving $1 from every Balter sold at Takapuna Surf Club and Queens Rooftop to support food banks this Christmas. There’s never been a better reason to raise a glass as the festive season approaches.

How To: Get a Bartender’s Attention

Getting thirsty waiting for that longed for tipple? Follow these guidelines to ensure you’re served swiftly, time and time again.

Be on your game. Space is at a premium when you are bar side. There is only a fleeting moment before the tiny slice of space left behind some other reveler is swallowed up by a bar goer with better reflexes, so it’s best to be nimble.

Once you’ve established prized bar real estate, it’s time for initial eye contact. Please don’t linger and stare seductively, quick eye contact will suffice. Bartenders have seen every trick in the flirt-to-get-drinks book. Try and wink, snap fingers or worse yet, bang on the bar, and you’ve got yourself a 20 minute wait. Also, no gesturing wildly please, you’re not haggling at a fish market. Bartenders have remarkable peripheral vision, so when you think they haven’t seen you they are probably just ignoring you.

Finally, once you’ve got their attention, remember that simple drink orders communicated clearly and politely always win over awkward winks, brash yelling, absent manners or complex mixology.

Harbourside Tauranga

Stella Artois are serving up the perfect beer and food pairing through November

Few libations hit the spot like an ice cold beer. Whether you prefer yours in a chalice or straight from the green bottle, what could possibly elevate such a sacred experience, you ask? Try the perfect food pairing. Enter The Stella Artois Serve.

As far as we’re concerned, the best way to elevate the art of beer drinking is with good food, and despite years of affirmation, that doesn’t have to mean a greasy pub meal or hot chips doused in vinegar.

Throughout the month of November, two beloved upscale eateries — and culinary institutions in their own right — will partner with Stella Artois, to each create an individual dish in perfect harmony with the 600-year-old legacy beer brand’s signature flavour profile.

Jervois Steak House’s T-bone Steak

For Aucklanders’ the inimitable Jervois Steak House will be on a mission to reaffirm their position as purveyors of the perfect steak, offering diners a melt-in-your-mouth T-bone cut, served New York style, finished with a lick of bone marrow butter and creamed spinach, to be washed down with a perfectly poured chalice of Stella Artois. As if we needed any further convincing that JSH is indeed a cut above the rest.

Here, steak is more than simply a cut of meat — it’s an ancient art form, an out-of-body experience. Charred edges, succulent centres, rich marbling, paired sauces, sides that transgress from best supporting to main characters — it’s the whole picture.

Harbourside’s Thyme and Lemon crumbed chicken with Lemon Risotto

For those slightly further afield in Tauranga, beloved family-owned-and-operated Harbourside is offering a lighter, Mediterranean-inspired take on the ideal Stella Artois pairing. Their spin on what makes the perfect accompaniment? Try thyme and lemon crumbed chicken served on a bed of preserved lemon risotto, finished with a caper and currant butter sauce and a side of fresh bocconcini. Chef’s kiss.

Harbourside Chef Cameron Ward

Holding pride of place and overlooking the glittering Tauranga Harbour, head chef Cameron Ward serves his dish interpretation by utilising seasonal produce heroes and fresh flavours. Tender chicken is coated in a delicate thyme and lemon crumb, delivering a golden, crisp exterior that gives way to succulent, juicy meat.

Already salivating? You’re not alone. Visit Jervois Steakhouse and Harbourside Eatery to secure your November booking to try either restaurant’s The Stella Artois Serve.

Who let the dogs out? Unleash your beasts in appropriately wild attire

With Halloween now upon us, it’s high time to make sure that all family members are costume-ready for October 31 — that includes any four-legged friends.

From food-inspired fits to Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, there are few things in life that’ll spike your dopamine quite like trawling for dog-friendly Halloween costumes. Here are a handful of this year’s standouts.

Pirate

A pirate pug? Adorable. This one lends itself to the perfect owner-pet coordinated costume moment. Bonus points for the little Captain Hook paws.

Life of a Showgirl

Channel Taylor Swift’s 12th studio album and go full Showdog this spooky season. Nothing turns heads at the local dog park quite like top-to-toe sequins.

Dirty Martini

Serving as both an homage to the classic cocktail and a powerful way to reframe the dreaded cone, this dirty martini costume never gets old and is surprisingly easy to achieve.

Needo

Meet Mt Eden’s newest Italian joint, serving hearty pizza and pasta that’s comfort food at its best

Sometimes, a short work week calls for an impromptu takeaway dinner that hits all of the right notes with none of the fuss — think a crowd-pleasing mac & cheese or an even heartier bolognese. Enter, Needo — your trusty local purveyors of freshly-made pasta to-go, now with a brand new outpost in Auckland’s Mt Eden.

From its food truck conception back in 2013, the Mt Eden eatery marks Needo’s fourth locale to date, joining a line-up that includes Auckland’s CBD, Commercial Bay, and Manawa Bay. The formula here is relatively simple: wholesome and hearty portions of freshly-made pasta alongside pizza by the slice and a handful of trusty salads and sides, boasting the kind of quality, convenience and nostalgia previously reserved for a home-cooked meal.

Needo Mt Eden. Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti

The menu here reads like a run-list of tried and true favourites; think creamy carbonara and mushroom spaghetti, heaped with nutty parmesan cheese, or the red sauce-dominant pomodoro macaroni, best mopped up with warm garlic knots or buttery garlic brioche.

POMODORO Macaroni

If the mood for casual Italian strikes, we suggest leaving dinner plans up to the pros and making a beeline for Needo’s new outpost. While diners are welcome to stay and enjoy the relaxed yet contemporary atmosphere at all four Needo restaurants, the grab-and-go convenience here makes it easier than ever to enjoy homemade quality Italian in the comfort of home. No judgement here.

Opening Hours:
Tuesday — Sunday, 11am — 8pm

Michael Meredith

Two iconic chefs combine for one unforgettable night that’s not to be missed

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.

Left: Leslie Hottiaux of Apéro. Right: Wood-Fired Duck Breast

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.

Metita

“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.

Bookings are now open for Wednesday, 12th November. Secure your spot here.

Top chefs create the perfect Dom Pérignon pairings

What happens when you task three chefs at the very top of their game with creating a snack to pair with the world’s most renowned champagne? A bite-sized morsel of magic, that’s what.

From Friday October 31st, executive chefs Gareth Stewart, Ryan Moore and Paul Froggatt will each curate a bite-sized snack in collaboration with Dom Pérignon’s iconic 2013 Vintage — a well-balanced champagne that epitomises the luxury Maison’s unwavering commitment to creative and harmonious assemblage.

All three chefs will create their own signature bite to be served at their respective eateries — Advieh, The Wine Room, and ROKI Collection Queenstown — as a complimentary amuse bouche to sit in harmony with the standout vintage, orchestrating a single moment of culinary perfection.

With any glass of Dom Pérignon 2013 purchased from October 31st until December 10th, diners will be invited to experience this exclusive and collaborative culinary series firsthand, receiving a single chef-crafted bite at any one of the three venues. To really elevate the experience, buy a bottle of Vintage 2013 and receive up to six chef-crafted bites to be savoured among friends.

For Dom Pérignon, the pursuit of a vintage means an unyielding commitment to the harvest from a single year, immortalising a moment in time through process and precision. It’s this commitment to both legacy and time-honoured tradition that has solidified the luxury champagne house and its place in the history books.

The 2013 release is no exception. Widely recognised as a vintage with a signature profile that’s both luminous, expressive and full of contrast — it’s little wonder why this bottle deserves a bite-sized moment all of its own.

Here’s what to expect at all three eateries from October 31st onwards.

Ryan Moore

The Wine Room

Chef Ryan Moore’s Signature Bite: Kingfish Rösti, Preserved Lemon, Nori Mustard, Shiso, Caviar.

The Wine Room by David Nash is Freemans Bay’s definitive wine-lovers’ retreat — blending boutique cellar, tasting theatre and intelligent bar fare. Executive Chef Ryan Moore has mastered the culinary offerings here, with his bite-sized kingfish rösti no exception. Hints of shiso and the acidity of preserved lemon take the traditional kingfish and champagne combination to all new heights.

Paul Froggatt

ROKI Collection Queenstown

Chef Paul Froggatt’s Signature Bite: Seaweed tempura of Green Asparagus wrapped in Dandelion, Sorrel, Aioli and fermented Lime with a Roast Chicken Hollandaise.

Offering a delightfully seasonal take on what might best elevate Dom Pérignon’s 2013 flavour profile, ROKI’s chef Paul Froggatt expertly cuts through the richness of the asparagus and creamy hollandaise, bringing the flavours of the South Island to the plate in one single and sublime mouthful.

Gareth Stewart

Advieh

Chef Gareth Stewart’s Signature Bite: Egg n’ Chips — Agria cooked in Wagyu Beef Tallow, Smoked Yolk, Caviar.

An inspired twist on the classic champagne and caviar combination, chef Gareth Stewart’s interpretation is bound to delight the senses. The saltiness of the caviar, starchiness of the potato and beef tallow paired with the subtle effervescence of Dom Pérignon’s 2013 vintage, create a heavenly contrast.
