Back for 2024 and just in time for summer, Viva’s dining out editor Jesse Mulligan and deputy editor Johanna Thornton have selected this year’s 60 best places to have dinner.
Viva’s Top Auckland Restaurants is a highly anticipated food feature that acts as a dining out guide for the whole year, ideal for referring to whenever you have dinner plans. This year, three Parnell restaurants have been selected for this list, including one in the top 10.
