Pressed for Time? These Midday Menus Get It
Lunch breaks aren’t what they used to be. Somewhere between calendar alerts and coffee refills, we forgot how good midday could be. But at Commercial Bay, a quick lunch doesn’t mean a compromise.
Think less sad sandwich, more smartly curated menus from some of Auckland’s best. Whether you’re catching up with a client, a friend, or just stepping out for a moment alone, here’s where to pause without pressing snooze.
