Celebrating Culinary Excellence

We are delighted to congratulate Chef Glen File on being named the recipient of the Anchor Food Professionals Outstanding Chef Award at the prestigious 2026 Lewisham Awards, in recognition of his exceptional work at Gilt Brasserie in Auckland.

The evening marked a remarkable achievement for Gilt Brasserie, with the restaurant taking home three awards in total — a testament to the talent, dedication, and pursuit of excellence that define the entire team.

A well-deserved honour for one of New Zealand’s finest culinary talents. ✨

Golden edges, delicate flesh, and the quiet elegance of the sea.
New Zealand Gurnard — beautifully crisped and served simply, allowing every flavour to speak softly for itself.

Paired with fresh greens, shellfish, and a silky beurre blanc, this is a reminder that true refinement never needs to shout.

Congratulations to all the Metro 50 Best Dishes winners!

Of course this olive oil & sea salt semifreddo from Hugo's Bistro is close to our hearts

Metro Magazine NZ describes this dish as...
"A deceptively simple dessert, Hugo’s semifreddo is smooth and silky; dreamy and indulgent, with lashings of quality olive oil that make you want to bathe in the stuff. The sprinkling of sea salt lifts the whole thing to stratospheric."
