Arbitrageur
The hardest thing about the chi-chi Arbitrageur experience is pronouncing the name. Everything else is terribly polished. A clever colour-coding system will help you match your meal with a drop from the extensive wine selection, and there's a menu of well-priced nibbles and meals. Live jazz Friday and Saturday night rounds off a sophisticated experience.

Floriditas
From the outside this is one of Cuba St's prettiest buildings, and the interior is just as lovely, with a charming old-world European feel helped along by white tiles, velvet drapes and leather banquettes. Quality bistro fare is the order of the day.

Kai
The Maori family that owns and runs this tiny restaurant has created a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and the small kitchen churns out delicious Maori-fusion food. The menu features a helpful glossary for those who don't know their heihei (chicken) from their kuku (mussels). If you pick the right night (it varies), you'll be serenaded by the restaurant's owner, playing guitar and singing Maori songs. A truly memorable place. Bookings advised.

Logan-Brown
Despite the neighbouring sex shops, this place oozes class and makes a great setting for a fancy-pants dinner. It's set in a former 1920s bank chamber but you don't have to break the bank to participate: the weekday lunch and pretheatre set menus (around NZ$35 , to be out by ) are top value.

Restaurant 88
There's a wonderfully mixed menu of Kiwi and Vietnamese dishes here, served in a tropical-flavoured space filled with wooden screens, plants and lanterns. Traditionalists can enjoy lamb or steak; the more adventurous can choose from fresh, spicy dishes such as lemongrass beef salad.
