Culprit. Dining room & bar. Dinner Wed - Sat. Open from 5pm
Tuesdays evenings in August, November & December A haven for secondary cuts and the unloved.
Culprit is the brainchild of Kyle Street & Jordan MacDonald, formerly of two of Auckland's most renowned eateries on Federal St. Order from our menu of signature family style mains and as we prepare these, individually priced seasonal tastes & bites will circulate the restaurant on our bespoke trolleys & trays. Your main will be served near the end of trolley service unless otherwise requested. Inspired by our local bounty & our travels through the States & Europe, our food philosophy is to work in collaboration with local NZ producers, suppliers & farmers. For us our menu is about showcasing what they do, keeping it simple, fun, fresh and delicious. Trolley service starts at 6pm, 7pm & 8pm Tues thru Sat. We welcome you to arrive early and have a drink at our bar. New lunch express menu $30pp
12pm - 3pm Thu & Fri. Pre theatre dining experience $35pp
5:30pm Thu - Sat. Book Now to secure your spot.
