Bolero Tapas Bar & Restaurant(Family, Spanish, Tapas)Bolero Tapas Bar & Restaurant, situated in the Albany Westfield Shopping Centre isn't on our Recommended Albany Restaurants list for nothing. Headed by international chef and co-owner Joewi Hoerijanto, you'd be hard-pressed to find more authentic Spanish food in Albany, especially with their signature paella dish, made with Calasparra rice, fresh seafood, chorizo and chicken.

Paper Moon Cafe & Bar(Cafe, New Zealand)Paper Moon Cafe & Bar head chef, Rahmad Ritonga's food isn't just your regular cafe food. This Albany restaurant plates up scrumptious cafe and bar food seven days a week. We also love how they're open into the night five days a week, offering happy hour deals Tuesday through to Saturday. If alcohol's not your thing, well - at least you now know where to get your Altura coffee fix in Albany after hours!

Totara Restaurant(Modern European, New Zealand)It would be a crime to create a Recommended Albany Restaurants list without including Totara restaurant, the Albany institution. With chef Peter Jackson offering the folks in Albany impeccable and innovative fine dining food since its establishment in 1998, Totara Restaurant is the place to go for a gourmet night of decadence in Albany.

The Wine Box Restaurant(New Zealand)We recommend the Wine Box Restaurant as one of Albany's best restaurants for its wonderfully executed exotic mains.

This, coupled with their mouth-watering house-made desserts and Karis' hospitality, guarantees the Wine Box Restaurant a spot on our Recommended Albany Restaurants list.
