This Brazilian-style eatery is operated by one of Auckland's longest established restaurateurs. The centrepiece of the dining room and of the menu, has to be the copper-clad kitchen with its enormous, flaming, roasting spits. Patterned banquettes look out to the harbour, a beautiful stone wall runs down one side. You come here for the Churrasco, an "all you can eat" meat eater's delight. Perfectly seared beef, lamb, chicken, pork and seafood is sliced off the skewers straight onto your plate at NZD39.50 for adults, NZD19.50 for children. Wildfire also serves pasta, soup, pizza and tapas-style platters.

The masterfully cooked dishes are then presented to you in artful presentations, making your dining session worth remembering. Order a chilled glass of red wine, to go with the delectable dishes and experience a culinary journey like never before. So head to El Sizzling Chorizo and taste some of the best steaks in town.

Not-to-be-missed are the pulled port, pastrami and brisket options, and if that's not appealing enough you can also mix and match, and create the perfect meat platter of your choice.
