Number 5 Restaurant - Degustation






Last night's dinner out at Number 5 Restaurant in Auckland city was fantastic. We had a delicious six courses and a sorbet which was incredibly well wine matched. The beauty of this meal was coming away feeling satisfied but not over full. The presentation was fantastic and it all tasted as good as itlooked. I even ate a little bit ofvenison...pretty goodforsomeone who does not eat red meat!
• Beetroot cured salmon with crab mayonnaise - my favourite dish

• Seared scallop, pea puree and quail egg - John's favourite

• Confit onion and goats cheese tart -
this would be a
super easy one for a dinner party starter.

• Tea smoked venison carpaccaio

• Lemoncello Sorbet

• Seared Duck Breast, Celeriac puree - I have cel
eriac growing in the garden so it was great to have this as part of a dish.
• Warm Orange and Almond pudding
