Ahi.
A Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by Ben Bayly, reimagining traditional New Zealand flavors with a wood-fired hearth.
Ahi, meaning "fire" in Māori, is helmed by chef Ben Bayly and was awarded one Michelin star and three hats by Cuisine in 2026. Centered around a wood-fired hearth, the restaurant reimagines traditional flavors using traceable New Zealand ingredients, supported by its own kitchen garden. The menu changes seasonally, offering à la carte, tasting menus, and a chef's table. Average spend starts from around NZD 100 per person, and booking in advance is recommended. The restaurant is located on Level 2 of the Commercial Bay shopping center, near the Queen Street wharf end, and is accessed through the food court.
