    As winter takes its icey grip on Auckland, there are a few hot,exciting changes going on here at Rice. Keep tuned in to discover the delicious new pan-Asian delights that await to make their way out of our kitchen.

    Ryland Wood remains the ring master out the front so you can expect more daring cocktails, professional service and cheeky smiles from our team of amiable hosts. Also keep a look out as our space’s award-winning design gets the odd revamp.

    For those of you who’ve never beheld the Rice experience before, we are a stylish, fun and well established little restaurant and bar in “the ghetto” of Auckland’s CBD. We are known for our diversity (smart business lunches, luxurious dinners, after - or during -work drinks, private functions), our retro-chic interior and our steady stream of excellent reviews. Check out our menu and wine list on this website and, if you have any queries, feel free to drop us a line.

      Brilliant technique and a perfect mesthing of flavours. Couldnt fault it. Cocktails where also brilliant and just as suttle and original. In fact they even made us our own original cocktail which we named a Budha Sunrise. So the bill was large but to be expected with the cocktails we had and a rather nice and difficult wine to get of Astrolabe sav.

      Havent had a meal and experience like that in years. Lyn   (May, 2008)
