A Legacy of Flavour - Vivace in Downtown Auckland
For decades, Vivace Restaurant has been a cornerstone of Auckland’s downtown dining scene. Since the 1990s, it has delighted guests with fresh New Zealand and European cuisine, sharing plates designed for friends, family, and celebration, all served with warmth, style, and impeccable service.
Meanwhile, Hotel DeBrett has stood as a beacon of boutique elegance in the heart of Auckland. Steeped in art deco charm and rich history, it has welcomed generations of visitors with its timeless style and intimate, inviting spaces.
Now, two iconic Auckland institutions have come together to create something truly special. Under the guidance of celebrated restaurateurs Mandy and Gene, Vivace has found a new home within Hotel DeBrett, blending Vivace’s vibrant culinary legacy with DeBrett’s historic elegance.
This partnership is more than a merger of brands – it’s a celebration of Auckland’s hospitality culture. From expertly crafted cocktails and locally inspired menus to our famous High Tea and unforgettable spaces like Housebar, every detail is designed to honour the past while creating new memories for the future in a lively, casual atmosphere.
Step inside, and discover a story of heritage, flavour, and community, where two beloved Auckland icons come together to offer an experience that is at once familiar, yet entirely new.
