Ortega Fish Shack & Bar

A taste of terroir, aquatic-style. Decorated with a giant fibreglass marlin and fishing-buoy lights, this fine-diner in casual clobber celebrates the bounty of New Zealand’s waters. Te Matuku oysters, Bream Bay scallops and a parade of local fish such as tarakihi and warehou are treated with reverence, and gastronomic landlubbers can tuck into a celebrated version of steak frites. 16 Majoribanks St, Mount Victoria, ortega.co.nz
