Mensa

Welcome to Mensa, the exciting addition to Auckland's Wynyard Quarter! Perched right by the harbour, Mensa is your new go-to for a modern, Mediterranean-inspired dining experience. Nestled on the ground floor of an architectural gem by Warren & Mahoney, this vibrant eatery promises more than just a meal, it's about creating connections and celebrating the joy of sharing good food.

At the heart of Mensa's philosophy is its namesake's meaning: 'table.' It’s a place where rich flavours and community are served up in equal measure. Helmed by the talented Reginaldo Richard, the menu draws inspiration from the Mediterranean, giving classic dishes a fresh Kiwi twist. Fancy a taste of Middle Eastern flair? Try the green falafel with garlic tahini and spiced eggplant or indulge in their brioche French toast, dressed with poached pear and crème anglaise.

For those craving comfort, the Neapolitan-style sourdough pizzas are a must, perfect for a leisurely lunch with friends or a quick bite on the go. Pair your meal with a cup of Allpress coffee or relax with a curated selection of local wines and beers as you take in the stunning cityscape. Every visit promises not only delightful dishes but also a genuine sense of warmth and hospitality.

Mensa is set to become a beloved spot for bringing back the leisurely brunches and midweek meet-ups that Aucklanders love. So, ready to savour Mediterranean magic by the water's edge? Join us at Mensa, where every meal is a chance to connect, unwind, and enjoy Auckland's vibrant waterfront.
