About Us

Eat

The years our chefs have spent honing their skills in kitchens and savouring great food have instilled in us the importance of striking a perfect balance between cooking and dining. At The Square, our goal is straightforward: to serve fresh, seasonal dishes that focus on quality, not gimmicks. We prioritise the finest ingredients, ensuring every bite is full of flavour and authenticity.

Drink

A fantastic meal often goes hand-in-hand with a good drink (or two.) That’s why we’ve put together a wine list that’s both approachable and adventurous, featuring some of the best bottles from New Zealand winemakers. No stuffiness here – our team is happy to help you find something that suits your mood and price point. We also mix some killer cocktails and have great New Zealand beers on tap.

Enjoy

Most of all, we want you to have a wonderful time with us. Whether you’re an old friend or brand new, our goal is more than just feeding you. We want you to feel right at home, with genuine Kiwi hospitality that leaves you walking out the door happier than when you arrived.
