MEET THE CHEF AT
ONEMATA, AUCKLAND
In April, we caught up with Rob Hope-Ede – chef at Onemata in Auckland.
The Coastal Lamb rump has been one of Onemata’s best sellers since the restaurant opened in 2020. Rob puts this down to the consistency in both size and flavour, the perfect fat cap on the rump – which is just enough to baste the meat as it cooks, but never so much that the rump comes across as fatty.
Onemata’s menu
Rob loves the rump seasoned perfectly and matched with Onemata’s mint and caper salsa verde – which allows the flavour of the meat to shine as the acidity of the salsa verde opens up the taste buds with every bite.
Rob’s passion for food is inspiring, and positive feedback from restaurant guests provides the ultimate job satisfaction, alongside the camaraderie in the kitchen, which feels like a second family.
COASTAL LAMB – THE MICHELIN GUIDE CEREMONY –
HONG KONG & MACAU 2024
The Michelin Guide held its 16th yearly awards ceremony in Macau in March. Dad was humbled to be invited to attend, with Coastal Lamb featuring throughout the event.
Michelin Stars are awarded to restaurants that Michelin considers the very best in a given city – with recipients gaining immense prestige and exposure with the honour, and in-turn often gaining increased business after receiving stars.
