Matariki at Onemata: A Gathering of Many Tables

This Matariki, Onemata invites you to honour a time of reflection, renewal and connection through a shared dining experience inspired by the theme Matariki Herenga Waka – For Everyone.

Rooted in the meaning of Tāmaki Herenga Waka, the gathering place of many canoes, this year’s celebration reflects coming together of people, cultures and stories. At Onemata, this spirit is expressed through the table, where food becomes a way to connect, to share and to create new memories.

For one evening only on 10 July, our chefs present a five‑course menu thoughtfully crafted with seasonal Aotearoa produce. Each dish highlights the best of the winter harvest, prepared with care, intention and designed to be enjoyed together. 

Set against the harbour, the evening invites guests to slow down, reflect and reconnect whether with loved ones, friends or colleagues. It is a moment to acknowledge the past, celebrate the present and look ahead with warmth and optimism.
