Aryeh is a restaurant at 20 Seaview Road, Piha, on Auckland's west coast. It is led by executive chef and owner Lucas Parkinson, who describes nature as the restaurant's executive chef because the seasons dictate the menu. According to Auckland Unlimited's listing, dishes change with the seasons, use Aotearoa produce, and favour wild and premium proteins and sustainably sourced kaimoana.
The restaurant has 89 seats: 34 indoors, 21 on a covered balcony and 34 on The Sun Deck, an umbrella-shaded outdoor deck. The deck is walk-in only and offers a more casual menu when weather allows. Indoors, diners can choose a la carte or a three- or five-course set menu. A chef's table seats up to four.
The listing shows opening on Friday evenings, Saturday lunch and dinner, and Sunday lunch, with the restaurant closed Monday to Thursday. It noted a winter break in 2024, so confirm current trading and hours before booking. The restaurant has hosted events and visiting-chef pop-ups.
Aryeh suits destination lunches, special-occasion dinners and small incentive or team-celebration groups seeking a coastal setting about an hour from central Auckland. Larger group arrangements should be confirmed with the restaurant.
