Welcome to Malt Restaurant and Bar – a stylish, warm and inviting drinking, dining and socialising icon in the heart of suburban Auckland yet just a short drive from the central city.

Situated in upmarket West Lynn, Malt’s contemporary and much praised interior decor reflects New Zealand’s pioneer heritage with painstakingly restored natural kauri floorboards and walls, comfortable leather banquette seating and a modern library-like lounge setting in front of a roaring natural wood fire.

Outdoors under a unique louvered roof which opens and closes with the changing of the seasons, Malt proudly exhibits a fully enclosed and decked courtyard area featuring a focal-point natural wood fireplace and glowing gas heaters to create a hot-house effect for those chillier winter evenings. In summer, seating on the deck is at a premium as guests reminisce about hanging out at their favourite beach resort.

Malt also specialises in fabulous functions. Experienced in hosting a wide variety of social and business events, Malt’s excellent team of professionals will ensure you have an unforgettable time. For more information contact Malt’s Function Co-ordinator on 0800 FUNCTION.

I love going to Malt, the $29 tripple platter is delicious and great value. The chef cooks these dishes to perfection, and they are very well presented. The service is fast and the ambience is fine. A down to earth chic place that I really enjoy eating at :)

We went to Malt last night… Waitress was lovely, and funny, outdoor area was great, but we were not close to the smoking part which may have helped.

Service was a bit slow / hard to find, as there was only 2 staff working and they were busy for 2 people.

Booze was good, your average price, good Pinot Selection and decent value on beer jugs.

Pizza’s were pretty boring, and ours needed an extra minute to avoid the center of the base going soggy.

Chips – Best ever in the world!!! Ever

I would go back for drinks and snacks and a tonne of chips, easy!

Hi Tessa, Thanks very much for your feedback, we are so pleased that you enjoyed the outdoor seating area and our famous chips! Unfortunately a staff member let us down on the night you dined with us by not turning up for their shift so our other staff members…    More »

The food was nice. Typical pub meals, but the dinner portions were on the small side compared to other pubs.
The service was efficient.
The environment is nice. A good, cosy, pub atmosphere with plenty of character.
Kudos for offering the deal voucher promotion.

Overall a satisfying, pleasant night out.

i am regular there, strange thing is they have different chef each day.
sometimes, the food is too much sodium which none of my friend couldn’t eat. but they usually make amazing $10 lunch meals i like their beer beef pie with chips! it’s soo fresh and chips are really crispy too. they also offer soup, thai beef/ tuna wraps with salad.

if there is one place to fall back on when you have no where else to be, The Malt is a good place to go. Great staff, great food, great service, great place to relax and eat after a long week…

Good night out here, sat down with a couple of friends and ate some good bar food. Were supposed to go out later for dinner in Ponsonby but just stayed on in there and ordered more.
