The Room
Low-lit and intimate
Low-lit and intimate, the dining room pairs volcanic stone and dark timber with warm amber pools of light. Tables are spaced for privacy, and the room's acoustics are tuned for conversation.
Auckland · New Zealand
Premium dining meets exclusive offline poker at Savory Manor.
An intimate Auckland restaurant and private poker club where refined cuisine and the quiet thrill of the card table share one address. Casino entertainment is strictly physical and offline.
The Savory Manor Experience
Two Passions, One Manor
Savory Manor is not a restaurant with a poker room attached, nor a poker club with a kitchen. It is a single, carefully composed experience where the rituals of fine dining and the focus of the card table share the same standards of service, atmosphere, and discretion. Poker is offline and physical only.
From the first course to the final hand, every detail is considered: the weight of the cutlery, the felt of the table, the temperature of the room, and the pace of service. Members and guests move between dining room and card room without leaving the manor's embrace.
An evening at Savory Manor is not a choice between dinner and cards; it is a single, unhurried ritual.
Dining at Savory Manor
A Table Worth Keeping
The Menu
Seasonal New Zealand produce
A seasonal menu built on New Zealand produce, with dishes that balance richness and restraint. The kitchen's approach is precise but never fussy, letting each ingredient speak clearly.
The Service
Attentive without hovering
Service is attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without lecturing. Staff are trained to read the room and pace each course to the table's rhythm, whether guests are dining before cards or lingering after.
The Poker Club
The Card Room, Reimagined
Beyond the dining room lies a poker lounge designed for focus and comfort. Here, the clink of glasses gives way to the soft shuffle of cards and the quiet click of chips. The room is exclusive, but never intimidating. Poker is offline and physical only.
The poker area features professional-grade tables, a dedicated lounge for breaks, and a card room that hosts regular poker nights and events. Members and their guests enjoy the same standard of service as in the restaurant, with discreet staff on hand.

The Chef
The Hand in the Kitchen
At the pass is a chef who believes that a great meal should feel inevitable—each element in its right place, nothing shouting for attention. The kitchen's approach is rooted in New Zealand's seasons and larder, with a quiet confidence that comes from years of practice.
The chef works closely with the poker club's management to ensure that dining and play flow seamlessly. Menus are designed to be enjoyed before, during, or after a session at the tables, with dishes that sustain without weighing down.
Private Dining & Events
Gatherings at the Manor
Private Dining
