Behind the Name
Jacob and His Twelve Sons
The story behind our name begins with the celebrated paintings of Jacob and his Twelve Sons, which sit at the heart of Auckland Palace. These works are an important part of the region’s heritage, and their influence can be seen in the subtle nods to history throughout Twelve by Jacob.
While the restaurant is modern in style, the name reflects a connection to place and the stories that have shaped it. Just as each painting captures a different character, our menu brings together a range of flavours and seasonal ideas that complement one another.
