Two beloved Auckland eateries to close ahead of redevelopment

Two popular Auckland dining establishments, the bistro Ortolana and the casual diner The Store, are scheduled to close permanently in October. The Store will cease operations on October 11, followed by Ortolana on October 18. Both closures are occurring in preparation for a planned redevelopment of the site. The loss of these eateries marks a change for the local hospitality landscape, as both venues have been recognized as established, well-regarded spots within the city.
