Cringe presents… ASK AN EXPERT #19: Michael Meredith @mmeredith27, owner and executive chef of @mrmorrisnz and @metita.akl 

Mr Morris is a restaurant for a special occasion, the service and food delivered with a fine-dining precision, despite a less formal setting (it safely sits in that elusive “smart” category). Its attention to the finer things in life makes sense when you find out its owner and head chef is Michael Meredith, who you might know from being the founding head chef at The Grove and, of course, his own restaurant Merediths. We’re big fans of the food at both Mr Morris and Michael’s more Pacific-focused restaurant, Metita - especially the flavour-packed snacks.

This week, Sam @_sam_low_ asks Michael Meredith where he’d go for a fine-dining meal, his favourite coffee spot, and more.

Michael recommends:

Restaurants: @lillius_nz, @aarth_restaurant, @thegrillauckland , @bar_magda, @depoteatery, @ragtag_nz 
Bars: @caretaker.nz, @truthordarebar 
Cafes: @churbae.akl, @beabeas.bakery

Huge congrats to everyone who received a hat, special award and who were recognised as a Cuisine destination!🥂
The energy in the room on Monday was amazing - celebrating with many of the talented and hard working people behind our best restaurants. I really love how our restaurant scene feels collaborative, supportive and uplifting rather than competitive - and this really was apparent on Monday night.

I’ve been lucky enough to photograph and work with many of these award-winning restaurants, so I’ve shared just a few images of their food here❤️

I love my job and it’s such a privilege to be connected with the people who drive our restaurant scene!!📸
