Food tourism. It’s been our bread and butter for the last 10 years. Sharing central Auckland’s best bistros, baristas, artisan bakers and chocolate makers on our food walking tours for international visitors. The overwhelming feedback (especially from US guests) is that NZ food is fresh, flavoursome and better than home. Many book NZ restaurants like Ahi, Craggy Range and Amisfield months ahead. With over 4000 eateries in Auckland alone and less than 20% surviving the 5 year mark, it’s a highly competitive industry. So congratulations to all the Michelin-awarded restaurants last night. It’s great for the hard working winners, their suppliers and NZ Tourism marketing. Come experience the best nature and nom nom! It backs up our core belief (over thousands of food tours) - that the country’s food & wine is world class. So let’s tell the universe. NZ has Michelin stars baby! #MichelinGuideNZ #Michelinstars26 #NZmustdos Tātaki Auckland Unlimited Main Image credit: NZ Herald
