Welcome to my restaurant review blog. I’m eating my way through Auckland one restaurant at a time…join me!
All in Dog Friendly
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!
Gusto Italiano is an authentic Italian restaurant in the center of Ponsonby. From great service, delicious food, and prime location, you can’t go wrong with this place. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so it’s perfect for your pup.
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!
Gyoza Bar is a small Japanese restaurant in the center of Ponsonby that specialises in delicious gyoza dumplings. This is a sharing place with many vegetarian and seafood options.
Goodhub Eatery is a classic kiwi brunch spot on the Hibiscus Coast highway in Orewa. If you’re looking for a great dog friendly bistro just steps from the beach, this is your place. Food tastes fresh and homemade, and the service is quite average.
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.
Little Creatures is a local Hobsonville favourite just a ferry ride from the city. It’s located in a refurbished massive hanger, with indoor and outdoor seating. If you’re looking for a casual place to stop on a nice day for a beer and some nibbles, here’s your place.
Deli Brothers is a Hobsonville local favourite. If you’re looking for a great coffee and sandwich, here’s your place. The cafe is unassuming place located next to a local produce market.
Little Sister Cafe is a delicious Instagram worthy brunch spot.
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.
