Cāntīng is a modern Chinese and pan-Asian restaurant on Level 1 of Commercial Bay, 7 Queen Street, Auckland CBD, with views over the Waitematā Harbour. A Dish magazine review in December 2024 described it as a newcomer to the precinct, blending old-world Chinese cuisine with modern Asian innovation.
The menu is designed for sharing, with a la carte options and two set menus, Lucky ($88 per person) and Prosper ($138 per person) at the time of that review. Dishes mentioned include steamed dumplings, a yusheng prosperity toss with king salmon, black pepper beef fillet and a lucky cat tuna tartare. The bar offers cocktails, Asian and local beers, premium New Zealand wines and a bottle-keep service for whisky. Dress code is smart casual, and the restaurant has been reported to serve yum cha.
The review notes options for intimate dining or larger gatherings, a small bar area for walk-ins, and a semi-private room called the Shuijing Room for smaller special events. Seating capacity is not stated in the sources used.
Cāntīng suits group banquets, client dinners and conference-evening gatherings in the central city, particularly with the set menus for groups. Confirm room capacity and pricing with the venue.
