Twist & Tonic is a bar and grill on Beach Road in Mairangi Bay, North Shore City. It is a stylish, relaxed lounge where hand-crafted cocktails are made in-house, with classic gin and tonics given a modern twist. The kitchen serves bold plates, including prawns, calamari, falafel, braised beef ribs, slow-cooked beef cheeks, duck and pork ribs. Dishes include a truffle-fries beef patty and a seafood chowder, and there is a non-alcoholic drink with fresh fruit and herbs.
Opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 4pm to 9:30pm. Real-time bookings can be made from 4pm to 9pm. Guests have praised the quality of the food, the attentive staff and the cocktails, and one says the menu is simple but the portions and flavours are generous. Our pick in Mairangi Bay for a group night out with cocktails and plates to share.
