July was jam packed! We haven’t had a chance to catch a breath - but as we always say, it’s a good problem to have. Swipe along… (loving the new multi caption feature)

Tempero turned three in July! A quick snap before our special lunch service on 5th July of our Tempero team with the Paris Butter team and Amy from Amoise Wines, who we partnered with on our birthday lunch. Even though this was only a month ago, it feels like a lifetime ago since this event!

Tiffany slaved away many nights designing these “in-flight” menus so they deserve to be immortalised in a grid post.

An overdue introduction - Parmida joined our team towards the end of June. She had first

June was absolutely out of this world. I think we are still digesting the past few weeks and haven’t yet caught up on any sleep…

2. Fabio created a delicious oyster mushroom and mole negro dish, which ended up being incorporated into the menu for our 3 year birthday event in July.
3. Testing out the chilli mezcal concoction that Fabio has been infusing and resting for almost a year. Hot damn, it’s good. We can’t wait to share this with you.
4. A delicious sunny Sunday lunch at Hello Beasty
5. Tiffany had the privilege to teach a Pilates class for Audi New Zealand at the dreamy Glasshouse, organised by her team at Fashion Quarterly, to launch the new AUDI Q3 SUV
6. Fabio went to the new neighbourhood local Den Ramen Bar three times in one week (Tiffany went twice). Congrats Kaz Suzuki and team!
7. We spoke about some of our K road recs on The Spinoff. Thank you for asking us to be featured, Charlotte Muru-Lanning! 🫶🏼
8. Loved this version of deviled eggs with truffles at Onslow glen
9. It’s raining men at Auckland Live Cabaret Festival with the girls from K road’s Caluzzi Cabaret Miss Geena
10. Last week, Tiffany and Fabio exchanged wedding rings in front of Tiffany’s family and their closest lifelong friends. Photo c/o
11. This was followed by a family dinner at LILLIUS where they had their first date, 5 years ago
12 - 15. On 30th June (Tiffany and Fabio’s 5 year anniversary), Tempero was awarded a Bib Gourmand at the inaugural MICHELIN Guide (official) ceremony in Aotearoa!!! We are honoured and proud of this accomplishment and it is our motivation to keep up the standard and consistency
16. These caviar bites by Providence at the event were just too good…
17. A dream come true to see Tempero in the MICHELIN guide 🙏🏼
18. In awe to be one of 35 in Aotearoa and one of 13 in Auckland to receive a Bib Gourmand. Congratulations to all who were recognised in the guide this year.
19. Putting the red plaque up on the wall.
20. And it’s because of you - our diners - who made this all possible. The Bib Gourmand achievement belongs to you as much as it does to Tempero. Forever thankful for you all and we won’t ever judge if you do lick the plate. 💙💙💙

Beyond honoured and incredibly proud to share that Tempero has been awarded a Bib Gourmand in the inaugural Michelin Guide New Zealand.

A heartfelt thank you to our team, both past and present, whose dedication and passion have made this possible. To our guests, loved ones, suppliers, producers, and our wider community - this couldn’t have been achieved without your support.

Congratulations to all the restaurants across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Queenstown recognised in the 2026 guide. A special shoutout to our Karangahape Road neighbours who also received Bib Gourmands Apero Food & Wine Gemmayze Street Atelier, and those recognised as Michelin Selected Bar Magda Otto. This community has always been special, and seeing so many on the strip receive this recognition is a true reflection of how vibrant and iconic K’ Road is.

To those who weren’t included this year - keep going. Your work matters, and it is already valued within our industry.

While the arrival of Michelin in New Zealand marks an exciting step forward for our hospitality and tourism industry, there is still so much more to create, and this is just the beginning. Let’s keep pushing!
