Welcome to my restaurant review blog. I’m eating my way through Auckland one restaurant at a time…join me!
All in All time favourites
Slate Billiard and Gastropub is a great addition to NorthWest shopping centre. If you’re looking for a fun hangout spot with friends where you can play some pool, have a beer, and eat some delicious pub food, this is your place! If you’re looking for a cheap dinner, head there on Thursdays for buy one main and get one free.
Baduzzi is an up scale Italian restaurant on the Wynyard quarter. It’s a great date night spot or for a catch up with friends.
Jervois Steak House is an outstanding restaurant in the heart of Ponsonby road. If you’re a steak connoisseur or looking for a romantic candle lit date night, than this place is for you. Not only do they have incredible steak, the service is top notch and the sides and desserts hit every mark as well.
Rosanna’s Garden Bar & Eatery is a hidden Bali style cocktail bar and eatery in Kingsland. The menu features build-your-own cheese boards and small tapas style plates, with plenty of cocktails and wine to go around.
The Elephant Wrestler is a gastropub in Takapuna just a block away from the beach. With heaps of outdoor seating, its completely dog friendly (even on a rainy day because its covered). The food is not your typical pub food, but far better!
Bodega Eatery is a hidden gem in the center of Henderson Valley. The Mediterranean fusion food mixed with the country side atmosphere is a perfect lunch date spot. The reasonability priced delicious food and the service was just amazing!
Pasta & Cuore is a traditional Italian restaurant in the heart of Mt Eden that specialises in handmade pasta. If you’re looking for a romantic carb filled date night, this is the place for you.
Morepork is BBQ heaven located in Kumeu (and another location in Ponsonby). This Southern style BBQ is great for brunch, lunch, or dinner. This place is not for your plant loving friends, do not take them here. The cozy atmosphere takes you straight into a small Southern town in America.
Miss Clawdy is an incredible soul food restaurant in Auckland CBD. From the homey rustic atmosphere to the southern comfort food, this place hits all the tops.
Elisabeth’s is an adorable little dessert place in Kingsland that serves the BEST hot chocolate I’ve ever tasted. This cozy and old-fashioned cafe is a perfect spot for a date night.
Wu & You was a great surprise! It’s a small Asian fusion restaurant in the heart of Mt Eden. I’d recommend Wu & You for a funky date spot or a girls night.
Holy Hop is a new gem in the Kingsland area. Everything about this restaurant impressed me.
Dos Amigos is a quirky little Mexican restaurant on the beach of Mission Bay where you’ll not only find some tasty food but a fun atmosphere.
Pane e Vino takes me back to Italy with it’s traditional flavours and old school vibe. Read more at the Honest Foodie review…
Chapati is my favourite Indian food in Auckland. Both takeaway and dine in options are delicious.
Chinoiserie is one of my TOP restaurants in Auckland. You can’t beat the delicious Asian fusion food, the neon vibe, and on top of that the cheap prices.
