DASH

DASH brings an easy-going all-day rhythm to Auckland’s city centre, a relaxed hotel restaurant a short stroll from Spark Arena. Sunlit tables spill onto the street while cosy corners beckon inside, setting the scene for long lunches, mid-adventure pit stops and relaxed dinners. It is a welcoming address for families, with a genial hum from midday arrivals to the evening’s close.

In the kitchen, familiar comforts are given a playful, globe-trotting twist. Mini DASH sliders stack crispy chicken with silky brie and spiced mayo, or Angus beef with a smoky Kiwi BBQ glaze. Skewers arrive hot from the grill, from Black-’n-Cajun spiced chicken with chimichurri to prawns glossed with a gochujang glaze, sesame and lime cutting through the richness.

Heftier cravings are well met - the Dash Smash Burger leans into special sauce and cheddar, while a beef scotch fillet steps out with café de Paris or chimichurri.

Bowls bring freshness in spades, whether a Superfood Green Bowl medley or a sesame-kissed Asian Sesame Bowl, and sides do their bit with chunky chips and manuka lime aioli or sweet heat corn in hot honey butter.

To finish, think of a nostalgic Kapiti sundae or a hot chocolate fondant with that irresistible molten centre. Drop in for a dash, linger for a while, and let the good times gather at DASH!
