Atmosphere: Delightful street seating. Service: Good. Food: Ok, but not great .. Calamari was Excellent, Fish came luke warm and over cooked and Beef also over cooked. Good portion sizes. Drinks were ok though a bit too sweet for our liking. Might have been a bad day in the kitchen.
I really like this restaurant. The portions are significant, and if you want to try a bit of everything, it's good to share. I ordered scargot with garlic (delicious ), risotto and chicken casserole
Cosy little restaurant. Good ambiance, no loud music, soft warm light. We ordered two entrees and two mains. Everything was delicious, and the portion was very generous. The waiter offered to take a couple of photos for us too.
Lovely little cafe that has quirky decor. Only stopped in for coffee with my niece. Wasn't busy and we could chat peacefully in private. Recommend
We had breakfast there . The breakfast menu was good. The food we ordered was really tasty. The atmosphere is of really cozy street cafe where you can spend time and have food. A bit like Europe. The service was real fast and very polite. Overall A nice experience.
We came twice during a one week stay as we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. Duck leg confit was cooked to perfection. Mussels (garlic and saffron) were full of flavours. Too bad there was no escargots available. There's a private room for function and we overheard that there's no minimum spend to get it. How splendid this place is.
One of our go-to cafes in Auckland CBD. Delicious food and coffee. We usually get the eggs benny/croque monsieur/pain perdu, and they're always super tasty! The interior is decorated with lovely posters, art, and the exposed brick is a nice feature.
Loved our dinner. Each dish was extremely well prepared. The fish in particular was very impressive. The steak was ordered rare but was closer to medium rare. Having said that, restaurants always err on the side of caution so it's probably to be expected. The sauces were delightful, especially the chimmichurri on the cauliflower and the bernaise on the brocollini. The atmosphere is very chilled and the waitstaff professional. The drinks menu is extensive!
Nice little restaurant with good atmosphere. I went for Valentine’s Day with my partner and got a really nice Central Otago Pinot Noir. The table we chose was round and small, we didn’t have enough space for everything which was not the best. The restaurant was small but cute. Our table was very close to the next table and we could hear their entire conversation which was slightly entertaining I guess. Unfortunately, they could also hear ours. The entrees we ordered (snails and mussles, can’t recall names quite at this moment) weren’t what we were expecting, not very impressed. The mains themselves were great! Large portion, my partner couldn’t finish her plate. My steak was good, cooked well and delicious. Didn’t try desert, we were too full. Overall, it was a nice date. Might not go back again.
