Ebisu has a bold new menu, and we’re giving you $500 to try it

A long lunch or dinner in Britomart, a table filled with Ebisu’s new dishes, and $500 to spend exploring the menu. We’re giving readers the chance to experience the restaurant’s latest chapter during Savor Food Festival, with the entire evening on us. Enter below.

The Deluxe Platter

Some restaurants earn the rare privilege of becoming institutions. Ebisu is one of them. For more than 15 years, the Britomart favourite has remained a constant on Auckland’s ever-evolving dining scene, drawing loyal regulars back for the Japanese dishes they’ve come to know and love. Which is exactly why this latest chapter feels so noteworthy.

Ebisu has introduced its most significant refresh to the food since opening, unveiling new dishes across every section of the menu while remaining true to the refined Japanese dining experience that has made it one of the city’s enduring favourites. It’s a confident evolution that gives regulars every reason to return, while offering newcomers the perfect excuse to finally book that table.

Leading the new additions are wagyu tartare tacos topped with black tobiko, crisp kataifi-wrapped scampi tempura and kingfish sashimi finished with hot garlic oil, alongside a beautifully marbled wagyu sirloin served with soy butter mushrooms, truffle ponzu and fresh wasabi. Designed for sharing, new maki and deluxe platters also bring together some of the kitchen’s most sought-after sushi and sashimi, making them an easy choice for long lunches and group dinners alike.
