Sid Sahrawat, the executive chef & owner of Sidart, Cassia and Sid at The French Cafe, explains why Northcote is worth your time.
We moved to Northcote before the birth of our son Roan
and as our daughter Zoya was about to start school. Northcote has a great sense of
community, we felt welcome and the suburb is so handy to get around to the CBD where we have our three restaurants. Northcote has the perfect balance between being well connected but you can still get away from city life.
Grab your bike and cycle down Queen Street, stop at Clarence Road Eatery for a coffee, banana bread and their Turkish pide chicken sandwich. Then go down to the end of Queen Street to the Stokes Point reserve where you will find yourself taking in the best views of the city, marvelling at the architecture of the Auckland Harbour Bridge. Even at night this area feels safe and provides a great vantage point to admire the spectacular lighting of the bridge.
