The $44 Power lunch making a case for a proper workday escape

A proper break from the working day should feel like more than a hurried meal between meetings. At Trivet, set within the luxurious JW Marriott in the heart of Auckland’s CBD, the midday ritual has been given a particularly enticing upgrade. Introducing the Power Lunch, a refined, hour-long dining experience that offers all the pleasure of an indulgent lunch, without the time commitment or extravagant price tag, at just $44 per person.

Under the direction of chef Wallace Mua, the shared-style menu celebrates the diverse flavours of Aotearoa, beginning with house-made flatbread and coconut butter, Aoraki dry-aged salmon tartare with orange and crème fraîche, and delicate spanakopita cannoli with cucumber, cinnamon and honey. A chef-selected main follows, accompanied by a vibrant salad of rocket, pear, parmesan and walnut.

Perfectly positioned for a client meeting, a long-overdue catch-up or a well-deserved escape from the office, Trivet’s central location makes it an obvious choice during the working week. Available Monday to Friday, the experience combines the polish of luxury hotel dining with remarkable value, proving that even an hour away from your desk can feel like something of an occasion.
