Coffee/ Breakfast/ Lunch/ Drinks/ Dinner Positioned amidst Auckland’s bustling cityscape, Hugo’s Bistro offers all day dining- a place to perch at the bar & grab the morning coffee, meet friends for an afternoon Aperitivo, or eat in the welcoming dining room and bar. The kitchen reimagines classic European fare, while creating new favourites. Head Chef Alfie Ingham draws on modern interpretations of Bistro classics with a focus on seasonal ingredients & ethically sourced proteins, simply prepared & barbecued over our charcoal fire. It’s a slick operation, working from the early hours of the day ’til late

The sibling restaurant of Odettes Eatery is an ‘every day’ space. It’s all about good food & good conversation. Alfie Ingham joined Hugo’s Bistro as Head Chef in early 2019, hailing from North West England. L’Ami Jean in Paris was the Bistro that changed cooking for Alfie. The place was loud, no nonsense and tremendous fun,  serving a modern and light take on traditional bistro food. The experience inspires his Hugo’s menu; a lighter style of classical cooking applied to New Zealand produce, with every element having a reason for being on the plate. Beautiful ingredients are are simply prepared, with the open fire lending charred and smoky notes to the menu.

The historic Shortland Street site has been transformed using a thoughtful balance of brass & terrazzo, paired with subtle tones of green & blush. A feature marble bartop extends the length of the room & provides the perfect perching spot to see the chefs at work in the open kitchen.
