Trivet, the signature restaurant of JW Marriott Auckland, is a contemporary dining destination that reflects the spirit of Aotearoa through refined design and a distinctive culinary program. Positioned at the heart of the hotel, the venue embodies sophistication with a relaxed rhythm, providing both international travellers and locals with a setting that feels elevated yet approachable.

The design draws inspiration from Auckland’s natural landscapes. Light-filled interiors, timber detailing and a palette of soft neutrals create an environment that is calm and welcoming. Local artistry is subtly woven into the space, grounding it in a sense of place while maintaining a cosmopolitan edge. The layout balances intimacy and openness, allowing the restaurant to shift effortlessly between casual daytime dining and atmospheric evening service.

Culinary direction celebrates New Zealand’s produce with precision and creativity. The menu highlights seasonal ingredients sourced from local farmers and producers, crafted into dishes that showcase both innovation and restraint. Seafood, lamb and fresh vegetables are prepared with contemporary flair, while international influences lend variety and sophistication. The wine program complements this focus, spotlighting both iconic labels and boutique vineyards from across New Zealand’s diverse regions.

Trivet’s service philosophy is centred on anticipation and personalisation. Staff greet guests with an understanding of both international standards and local hospitality traditions, ensuring that service feels polished without losing warmth. Attention to detail is evident in pacing, recommendations and the ability to adapt seamlessly to the preferences of each guest.
As JW Marriott Auckland’s signature restaurant, Trivet is more than a dining venue – it is a reflection of the hotel’s luxury positioning, connecting guests to the essence of New Zealand through design, flavour and service that resonate long after the meal concludes.
