ViewAuckland Review (5 out of 5 stars)
On the back of Iguacu’s Best New Zealand Restaurant award, visiting foodie Wellingtonian friends had heard the praise and were most keen to see if the Hospitality Association was on the money with this one on a recent visit. Gleefully, our friends were quick to point out that the Wellington restaurant scene was undergoing somewhat of a purple patch with top notch eateries cropping up all the time – and warned that they would not easily be pleased.
It is unlikely that even the fussiest visitor will be disappointed with the extensive wine list and to start, we quite wisely opted for a Chard Farm Pinot Gris, reasonable at $59 a bottle. I opened with the Balsamic Glazed Pork Belly however this choice was as hard to make as the wine selection. Served with moorish mushroom dumplings, this entrée was well worth the $21 price tag. By this stage, I was pretty confident Iguacu was winning over our companions. According to Sue, the Duck Livers were ‘sheer delight’. By this stage we were well into our second wind and a second bottle of wine was ordered, this time a Pegasus Bay Merlot. I happily took to the Hawkes Bay Lamb Rump. The ginger mint jus combined so well with the citrus and fennel flavourings that my partner was afforded a small sample – albeit very reluctantly. Sue and Mark were similarly pleased, with their choices (Vanilla Braised Venison and Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken) both receiving the seal of approval.
We all left more than satisfied, if a little light in the wallet (a $320 odd grand total), happy in the thought that us Aucklanders really do have something to crow about. Reviewed by - Ed Reed

Paglierina
This cheese originates from the provinces of Cuneo and Torino in Italy. It is made of cow’s milk and has milk flavours, a soft dough and a fresh, delicate taste.
Manchego
Made in the Castilla de La Mancha region of Spain from the milk of sheep of the Manchega breed. It has a firm and compact consistency and a buttery texture. This cheese has a distinctive flavour, well developed but not too strong, creamy with a slight piquancy, and leaves an aftertaste that is characteristic of sheep’s milk.
Valdeon Spanish Blue
This cheese, a type of Spanish blue cheese is produced in the Valdeon Valley in the northwest area of the Castilla-Leon region in Spain. The cheese is made year-round from cow or goat milk, or a mixture of the two. It is an off-white color, with many green-grey veins running through it and holes throughout. It is a very strong-flavoured cheese, tangy and a bit spicy.
