Bare Wine NZ — Restaurant in Waitematā

Bare Wine is one of Auckland’s best-kept secrets! Tucked away on Brown Street, it’s the kind of place you might miss at first glance—but once you step inside, you’ll discover the epitome of understated charm.

Run by a warm and welcoming French team, Bare Wine combines character, personality, and impeccable service. The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, the food is always on point, and their recommendations never disappoint, unless you know exactly what you like. To top it off, they even bake their own sourdough—honestly better than most bakeries in town.

It’s a place you simply have to experience for yourself. Go once, and you’ll understand why...
