Kermadec Ocean Fresh Restaurant Auckland, New Zealand

Situated upstairs, away from the throng on Viaduct Quay, Kermadec has an air of serenity and sophistication. Marine artwork decorates the white oak floor. Large folding windows open out to the view of the boats moored below and the setting sun beyond. The owner's fishing fleet brings in fresh seafood daily. Crayfish, scallops, prawns and mussels feature on the menu. Stunningly presented sushi and sashimi will tempt diners. Kermadec offers one of Auckland's top fine-dining experiences. Try the Seafood Platter, for a minimum of two people. Equally good beef and lamb dishes are also available.
