Newmarket Bistro – $1M+ Sales, 17 Years Strong

Established Mediterranean Bistro – $1M+ Sales, Prime Location

After 17 years under the same dedicated ownership, this iconic Mediterranean-style bistro in the heart of Newmarket is now available for new owners to take the reins. With indoor/outdoor seating for 100, a full license, and a loyal customer base, this is a rock-solid hospitality operation in a location that just keeps getting better.

Annual sales in FY25 are tracking over $1,000,000, with a $100,000 working owner profit—but this isn’t the ceiling. The business previously generated $150,000 profit (FY23), and current performance suggests it’s firmly on the rebound.

The fit-out is elegant but efficient. The systems are well-established. The team is experienced. And the location? Unbeatable. Positioned on one of Newmarket’s most active pedestrian strips, with outdoor dining protected and enhanced by Auckland Council investment, this business enjoys natural exposure and year-round patronage from shoppers, professionals, residents, and tourists.
