Perched in Britomart’s Tuawhiti Lane, Kingi is a seafood-centric restaurant championing sustainable New Zealand catch. Helmed by chef Stefania Palermo, it delivers straightforward plates that celebrate the sea: think perfectly seared kingfish, succulent green-lipped mussels, and a rotating raw-bar selection, all cooked and seasoned to let local terroir shine. The atmosphere is cosy and brick-lined, with nautical touches. Open seven days for all-day service, Kingi pairs these simple yet profound dishes with a thoughtful wine list. It’s an unpretentious shrine to Aotearoa’s oceans.
