Celebrate the Year of the Horse at Onemata
Celebrate the Year of the Horse at Onemata with an elevated Lunar New Year menu and dining experience that honours tradition and flavour, in partnership with Lee Kum Kee.
Available from 2–28 February, the six-course evening tasting menu curated by Executive Chef Brent Martin showcases premium seasonal ingredients and authentic Asian sauces from Lee Kum Kee. Inventive dishes include braised pāua with chilli crème on fry bread and a modern take on prosperity salad, celebrating bold flavours, texture and tradition.
Named New Zealand Hotel Restaurant of the Year 2025, Onemata offers a refined yet celebratory culinary journey that fuses local produce with global inspiration. Lee Kum Kee’s extensive range of sauces — including many gluten-free options accredited by Coeliac New Zealand — helps bring authentic Cantonese flavours to the dining experience.
On Monday 16 February, the evening will be further elevated with a vibrant lion dance performance, welcoming the Year of the Horse and bringing prosperity, good fortune and festive energy to Auckland. An elegant celebration of culture, cuisine and connection, designed to be shared. Seating is available from 5:30pm. Take a sneak peek at the menu below....

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
