Atico.cocina is a the home to the best Caribbean food and music in Auckland. With live music and the best cocktails in town , it doesn't get any better!
Atico- Cocina, an exciting established restaurant and bar from a Colombiant architect Omar Barragan at 19 Drake Street, Victoria Park Quarter. Atico-Cocina will be home to a relaxed dining experience, set in a large historic converted stable-style building that draws inspiration from the Caribbean islands and South America.
The all-day restaurant offers wine and cocktail list alongside a seasonal menu. Diners can enjoy a lazy-sit down over one of the signature dishes - chargrilled prime Angus beef marinated with fresh ground coffee and pepper served with a blue cheese and brandy sauce. Guest can also stop by the bar or the open terrace for a cocktail, glass of wine, south American beers or to try a selection of Caribbean tantalisers.
From the cost of the Yucatan Peninsula to the north of Colombia and Venezuela passing by large islands such as Jamaica and Dominican Republic, the Caribbean offers a rich mixture of European and African flavours. This has been translated on the menu by Head Chef Tony Eru, who also brings extensive knowledge and experience. Well versed in finishing touches having worked in Auckland’s top restaurants, Tony has now devised an authentic menu reminiscent of Caribbean and Hispanic origins.
Atico could be considered a fusion style restaurant, but the real focussed is the all round experience - a heritage building, great food and atmosphere and the hospitality of the Caribbean and south America cultures. A place not to be missed in the centre of the city.
