There’s no place like Soul on a sunny afternoon. The perennially popular restaurant occupies a prime position in the Viaduct Harbour, overlooking the water, superyachts and meandering tourists, so grab a table on the all-weather terrace if you can. As its location demands, fresh seafood is plentiful and imaginatively treated, but land-based ingredients are also transformed with care and vegetarians have plenty of options. Many flock here to feast on succulent Bluff oysters flown up from the South Island.
