Walking into Karangahape Road wine bar and bistro Apéro, you instantly feel cocooned in the warmth of the long, brick-walled room. With a menu of simple yet expertly-executed dishes and a comprehensive wine list, it is the ideal spot to while away an hour or three any evening, and now, you can get your fix come Thursday lunchtime, too.
Following the popularity of Friday lunches at Apéro, and to mark the eatery’s 10-year anniversary, the K’ Rd go-to is now inviting diners to their exceptional fare, always lovingly made, all day long on Thursdays. From the ever-popular terrine of the day to the infamous roasted cauliflower with goat curd, almond and mint to the moreish speciality charcuterie platter, there are no shortage of reasons to visit, with every meal elevated further by a glass or two from one of the best wine lists in town.

The idea here is to lunch in the same style owners, Leslie and Mo, themselves enjoy — long and leisurely. And, given how homely and welcoming the space it (not to mention just how much of the menu you’ll want to make your way through), that feels like the only way to do it.
