we came to sidart for friday lunch and had the 6-course vegetarian tasting menu. it was my first time trying indian fusion fine-dining and it was easily one of the the most impressive meals i’ve had in auckland. the service was fantastic, the food was innovative and delicious, and the presentation of each dish was impecable. i’ve often found the vegetarian dishes at fine-dining restaurants lacking in flavour but this was not the case at sidart. i really enjoyed the indian flavours that sid brilliantly infuses into local kiwi ingredients, it was truly a uniquediningexperience.

my boyfriend took me for a surprise finediningexperience. it was truly amazing! just over $500 for two people, but worth every single dollar. we will be back in the next season to try a different menu.

sidart is known as one of auckland's best finediningrestaurants and has been on my list to visit for a while. after trying cassia last year (which was mind-blowing), we've finally booked a table at sidart to dine and celebrate the new yea.

we went on a thursday night and had the full discovery menu of 7 courses with a bottle of pinot noir. the service was impeccable and we actually had free appetizers and sweet bites to finish on top of the 7 courses. the degustation was executed to perfection with each dish tasting like summer (e.g. refreshing and light flavours in the desserts, ice used in the entrees, and seasonal vegetables with the mains). my favourite was the fried scampi with strawberries, so tasty! the amuse-bouches were also very innovative with the buckwheat crackers coming out as a standout dish. both of the desserts were also memorable, with the peach sorbet with stone fruits and passion fruit custard a wowser!!

although it was faultless, it wasn't very mind-blowing/innovative in general. as i've had degustation elsewhere, there wasn't anything that really surprised me- in terms of both presentation and combination of ingredients used in dishes. e.g. the lamb with crispy kale and pea purée had been a common combination in many restaurants. the execution was perfect but i just expected some more difference and unexpectedness for a "discovery" menu at $160 per person.

still checking out degustations around town so we had to try this place. service/ambience is excellent and very fitting of the place. the staff are accommodating, they took really good care of us while the ambience is sophisticated with a great view. it is very "cosy" inside but they've done well with the space they have.

every dish was beautiful, well timed and exquisite. when we paid the bill they gave a small bite of a zero calorie toffee which was just melt in your mouth. definitely one of the bestdiningexperiences in auckland.

the discovery menu (15 servings) was a specialdiningexperience, a wild play on tastes and textures.

sidart presents as a restaurant that is adventurous and innovative with flavor combinations, offering delightful surprises - it's nothing you've ever tasted before.

i have to mention that their desserts are incredibly unique. parsnip ice-cream with dark chocolate cystals, white chocolate and elderflower mousse or something was a bomb of sweet goodness. second to that, i couldn't be more obsessed with their freeze-dried mango, coconut, passionfruit sorbet and ice cream. strangest of them all was the parmesan ice cream with poached pear and garlic wafer, which turned out to be surprisingly good mixing sweet and savory notes.

slightly disappointed by the apple and onion course, but the rest were astounding, where the john dory and beef were absolute stand outs. if pedantic, i'd say it would be better to be seated further away from the kitchen if you're bothered by greasy cooking odor waffling over in your direction.

all in all, sidart is a winner of first-class service, having a neatdiningenvironment accompanied by a goregous view of auckland city and the sky tower. of course i would like to go back and try their next creative menu.

my partner and i booked months in advance for the tuesday test kitchen. we don't often go to finediningrestaurants so this was a big deal for us. it is a very nice setting but it all seemed a bit detached and impersonal.

the food was creative but only a couple of the main courses were stand outs, which included lamb and pork. the two dessert courses were a disappointment as they were both sorbet based with lots of different textures but lacked flavour.

the staff were competent but not friendly and our server was constantly changing, which was confusing. the restaurant was cold which meant we kept our coats on and couldn't feel 100% comfortable. if you like creative, fancy food then this is the place for you but we will be sticking to simpler fare in the future.

had dinner on a tuesday for more exploratory degustation . such a nice spot and we got a great seat by the window looking over the city. and great friendly staff very knowledgeable and friendly to chat to throughout the meal which put me at ease as some finediningplaces are a bit off putting for me. the menu was really varied great quality food we had some standout trials with great food and one or two not so great but i put this purely down to the tuesday try it out kind of menu and would come back as the feedback was taken in and had great discussions with the waiter on things we liked and didnt ,we will be back again

amazing. not perfect, but still amazing. so let's start with the good things - great service and food wait was fast. the waiters/waitresses were all friendly and professional. we had a personal waiter who served our food and introduced each dish. we went on a tuesday night so we had the testing menu, a six course with a few appetizers/snacks at the beginning for $80. if you compare the portion sizes with other restaurants and their prices then it's probably totally not worth it. but this is sidart and it's different and you can't compare it so yes, it was totally absolutely worth it and i would definitely go again. i ordered a lemon lime and bitters to begin with, i've had better but it was still really good. their first few snacks and appetizers were mostly delicious, except for one lychee one, but i personally don't really like lychee so that's not their fault. the first few courses also all cleverly had a hint of sourness to it, to leave you wanting more food. then the main was a lamb shoulder with some kind of mushroom, coconut sprinkling and some other ingredients. that was probably the best lamb i've ever had in my entire life, not exaggerating. i've had a lot of lamb and it even beats lamb that have had in overseas places. it was soft, tender, texture perfect, flavour perfect with the authentic lamb flavour not being too strong or too little and the seasoning was perfect, and the combination with the side sauces and complimentary ingredients was almost perfect too (i didn't like the coconut but again, that's just a personal preference). i was really amazed at the weird and wonderful and absolutely delicious flavour combinations that they produced. flavours that you would never think of. it's like you don't know what exactly you're eating, but it has all these hints of different tastes and together it's just one delicious explosion. however the last course was a tiny disappointment, they ended with an ice cream with caramel, pumpkin seeds and ice and some other ingredients. it kinda tasted like popcorn, not sure if that was their intention but it was a kind of strange way to end the meal. i would've liked maybe a hot dessert, like cake or something, as the previous one was a cold dessert too. i was also a little bit disappointed by the presentation. don't get me wrong it was still superbly presented, but in a way that you would expect at any finediningrestaurant. i was recommended here by my mother who kept going on about how beautifully it was presented, i've seen images of the food designed with art to the next level, and plus the name of the restaurant kind of suggests this too. but i didn't quite get the wow factor of this artistic presentation. still though, it was a marvelous experience, and i highly recommend going, at least once in your lifetime but i would definitely return.

i would say the food was pretty amazing. i can't really find many proper molecular gastronomydiningin auckland. sidart is one of the place that might be close enough to those michelin restaurants. my favorite dish from sidart was their parmesan ice cream and the coconut beef. which reminds me a lot of sumatran food. i wish they can do more with the place. it's cozy but it doesn't really pair with the food.
