Nestled inside one of the NZ's most stunning historical building, Platform 8 Restaurant & Bar is conveniently close to the bustling Auckland CBD, the famous Auckland harbour and mighty Britomart.

Fantastic interior views inside the New Zealand’s largest railway station with the Te Taou Reserve in front and Mahuhu Ki Te Rangi Reserve aside provide an idyllic setting for your big day.

From the showpiece of imported marble to the array of fine bronze detailing with a beautiful terrazzo floor, Platform 8 Restaurant & Bar is the ideal venue for your special occasion. We will take care of everything from the ceremony to the reception to ensure you can enjoy the event you have always dreamed of.

The restaurant space is suitable for up to 75 guests for a formal dinner or 150 guests for a casual cocktail or canapes style reception, and open into our Grand Foyer for a large venue extension.
