Crawford Road Kitchen
A sharing-plate bistro inside the Gisborne Wine Centre, pairing local seafood with regional wines, and busiest at sunset.
Located at Warehouse 3 inside the Gisborne Wine Centre at 50 The Esplanade, Inner Harbour, it is known for sharing plates, local wine pairings and sunset views. The menu changes with the seasons but keeps its signature dishes, such as chicken liver parfait with carrot purée, lamb ribs, roasted tarakihi with grilled bruschetta, and caramel pudding. Vegetarian and gluten-free needs can be catered for. Portions are on the small side, so diners recommend ordering extra sides. It is often full on weekends, so book ahead. Open Tuesday to Saturday 15:00–21:00; closed Sunday and Monday.
Opening hours
Tue–Sat 15:00–21:00; closed Sun & Mon
