Celebrated chef Nic Watt brings his passion for flavour and dedication to detail to Auckland with MASU, his Japanese robata bar and restaurant in the Federal Street Dining Precinct. The restaurant draws on Nic's exceptional pedigree, experience he has gained from running highly successful robata restaurants in London, Macau, Hong Kong and America. Robata is contemporary Japanese cuisine cooked ove

r a charcoal grill where theatre and drama are as much of the process as the eating. MASU's philosophy is based on the enhancement of natural ingredients, letting the food and the presentation speak for themselves while at the same time making each dish taste sensational.
