Top of my list for fine dining in Auckland. A culinary experience which leaves you wanting to book your meal next as you leave, Service is impeccable yet on a personable level. Food which delights the palate yet intrigues the mind. Colourful, arty, creative cuisine which is delicious and delectable. Rates very highly on my OMG scale. (Orgasmic Mouth Guide) Overall one of my favourite restaurants in Auckland and never fails to satisfy on every level.

Thanks for the great recommendation Anna. Next level love, especially that OMG scale reference.

If you call yourself a New Zealand foodie and you haven't yet experienced a special occasion in Ponsonby's favourite fine-dining restaurant then you haven't yet lived. Simple as that. Sid Sahrawat is a culinary master and chef extraordinaire so it's no surprise that his namesake restaurant serves up the kind of delicious dishes that have you marvelling at everything from the innovative ingredients to the stunningly simple presentation. The cool thing is that Sid is making degustation menus accessible to everyone. For just $17 a dish on a Wednesday or Thursday night, you can rock into Sidart and experience your own DIY degustation, choosing meals from a tasting menu that changes monthly. With items such as wild vension with kale and chorizo and carrot, coconut and macadamia, it's a feast of epic proportions and a chance to take a mind-blowing culinary journey. Thanks for bringing great degustation meals within reach of the masses, Sid!

I popped into Sidart with the lady for a bit of a special night out midweek and was not disappointed. Holy mother of all fine dining the food was amazing. I have only been once but I can happily recommend their midweek degustation menu as the best I've ever had, the Wakanui Beef Fillet was the highlight for me, with tastes and textures I've never experienced in a steak dish. My new favourite; I'm already saving my pennies up for my next visit!

Glorious taste sensations and beauty on a plate.

Unique and inspired food presented to perfection. Sidart is classic yet modern with an easy going atmosphere that would please any class of diner. It is truly an experience in gastronomy and incredibly affordable.

My favourite for local fine dining!

One of the best kept secrets for dining out, fantastic night time views of the city, amazing food.

This place is amazing and the most exciting and creative new ways of eating and using ingredients. It is a must! Esspecially love test kitchen Tuesdays here

My friends and I booked for the Tuesday Test Kitchen and we were so impressed with our beautifully presented and delicious food. The service was outstanding and we didn't have to reach deep into our pockets for this meal; great value for money! Sidart was a culinary delight and I will definitely be returning.
