Onemata

We booked Onemata for lunch and had the 2-course and 3-course meals and had the most wonderful time. Perfect food, service and atmosphere. It was also my parent’s 30th wedding anniversary and they had prepared an extra dessert with ‘Congratulations’ on it. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality - We will be back very soon!

This place was an amazing experience. The service was spectacular, the restaurant is very well put together with a lovely interior, you have a nice outlook onto the viaduct and the food was fantastic. I am normally plant based but I couldn't resist the temptation of cheating at a place like this. In doing so, I had very high expectations for my steak and it didn't disappoint, it was a lovely cut and cooked to perfection. I'm sure that the plant based options would also be spectacular! Thanks the team at Onemata 😊

Visited during Restaurant month for lunch to take advantage of their $55 menu. Tried the Mushroom and Mozzarella dish and the Braised Short Rib with a glass of Craggy Range Te Kahu. Whilst the mushroom dish was nice, the mozzarella was merely a foam which was strange but the overall flavour was good, just nothing special. The braised short rib unfortunately let them down. I’ve never had such tough short rib before. It was a struggle to get the meat off the bone. The parsnip purée and other components really worked so taste wise it was lovely but I really wished I had ordered the duck as I was expecting a tender melt in your mouth experience which they did not deliver.
