Merediths is the restaurant of chef Michael Meredith and considered one of the best restaurants in Auckland, New Zealand. They offer degustation only menus, and each menu will take the diners on a journey where, from beginning to end, they will be wrapped in the Merediths experience. Chef Michael Meredith and his team use Tuesday evenings as an opportunity to experiment with and refine their plant-based dishes. The entire restaurant dines on their 8-course plant-based vegetarian menu which fitted us perfectly since my wife is on a vegan diet for medical reasons. And the kitchen was great at accommodating her dietary restrictions. It is a wonderful initiative, and it really promotes healthy living. And as an added bonus, it seems like the public is liking it too, the restaurant is almost always fully booked on Tuesdays. The starters were extremely flavorful and highlights how creative you can be with vegetables, berries and fruits. Wonderful presentation and flavor combinations that worked very well together. Michael Meredith has a very nice ability to combine both presentation, creativity and flavors in a great way. Every course has a distinct look and profile where all the ingredients make sense. Vegetarian food can sometimes be bland - but Chef Meredith is able to really to bring out depth, bold flavors and richness. He did a remarkable job, because as a diehard carnivore - vegetarian courses alone just isn't appealing to me. But this one was amazing. The next course on the menu was a mushroom course. This was my personal highlight of the evening. The mushrooms were flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The soy milk accompanied the mushrooms in a good way. A course that shows what you can do with creativity and good cooking skills. Fantastic!! Finally, the desserts...Not spectacular, but still good. My favorite here was the coconut and citrus. Nicely put together. In summary, I have no idea what the regular menu at Merediths tastes like, but based on the vegetarian menu, I am excited to come back and find out. Chef Meredith's initiative is brilliant and important. Many renowned chefs, when asked to create a vegan alternative, throw together a simple salad. Chef Meredith creates a complete menu. And like I said, the restaurant is almost always full on Tuesdays.
