Ortega Fish Shack
A seafood bistro housed in an 1886 heritage building. Holding one Michelin star, it is described as "fine dining disguised as a shack."
Located on Majoribanks Street in Mount Victoria, this two-story 1886 building is decorated in a maritime style with blue walls and glass float lights. It was awarded one Michelin star in 2026. The menu changes with the daily catch, blending European and Latin American flavors. Popular starters include oysters and yellowtail kingfish ceviche with avocado and lobster oil, while the steak frites is a favorite among regulars. The wine list is also extensive. Booking 1-2 weeks in advance is recommended, and even tighter in summer. Mains are around 38-58 NZD. Just a few minutes' walk from Courtenay Place.
