Bistro in Auckland

“Impressive variety of quality vegetables and succulent chicken. The sauces were beautiful and the spice ranges were finally hot enough! Thai “medium” is what many western people will call too hot… but it’s not! If you don’t like spice order mild - for me, I ordered the hottest curry I could and it was incredible!! The sharp chilli spice cutting through the creamy coconut sauce with rich umami undertones… heaven. The Pad Thai lacked that sexy wok hei smokiness, and I prefer a wider flatter noodle, otherwise fantastic.”

“This was my second time in Ora bistro through First Table booking. The food was excellent and we enjoyed it thoroughly. The staff were extremely friendly and brought out the dish quite quickly. We will definitely be back and try the other options on their menu.”

“We cycled from the city to San Heleus Bay on the weekend and found this restaurant when we got hungry. we were satisfied with the service, the fast food serving speed and the food itself. As a vegan, I seemed to have only one option: acai bowl, However, the ingredients were fresh and the taste was good, so I was still quite content. It would be even better if there were more vegan choices.”

“Fast service, staff are very helpful and friendly. Good food, excellent coffee. Perfect for a warm spring morning after a nice walk.”

“Had brunch here a few weeks ago. Food was amazing! It came out pretty quickly too which is a nice change to other places.”

“Thank you to the Westie Bistro team for accommodating us at the very last minute — all 38 of us! You managed to fit us in comfortably and catered to our group so well. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the space was perfect. Your staff looked after us exceptionally, and we really appreciated there being no hidden costs, especially for a group our size. Highly recommend — thank you again for a great night!”

“Have had our work Christmas dinner here. It has been great good food and service. Nice environment. Generous portions. Cost $$. Well worth it.”

“Highly recommended — and dog- and baby-approved! We had such a fantastic time at Fabrics in Hobsonville! A special shout-out to the incredible gentleman who seated us. His warm attitude and friendly accommodation set the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable visit. The ambience is just stunning — stylish yet cozy, with a great vibe that makes you want to stay longer. We paid $84 for two dishes and two drinks but the experience, service, and setting really do justify it. If you're looking for somewhere to treat yourself or take visiting friends, Fabrics is definitely worth checking out.”

“I had my 90th birthday at the Wade, and it couldn't have been better. The staff were so kind and attentive, especially our host Tye who was excellent. He really made the experience special. The surprise birthday desert was such a treat, very unexpected and most appreciated. My family and I would highly recommend having any event at the Wade.”

“Great internet speeds, friendly staff. Cool cats.”

“Loved the food it was so nice, had wanted to try flat noodles for ages and it exceeded my expectations. Delicious!”

“Nice local bar, all the drinks very nice food friendly staff. Highly recommended !”

“Had a grab one voucher for a dinner for 2. Was absolutely amazing! Food was great! Not too busy! Very quick service! Definitely going back”

“A great meal to start our holiday. We enjoyed the calamari, although deep fried it wasn't oily and was tender. It would be nice to offer a pan fried version. Caesar Salad with great and the lamb was succulent and full of flavour. Service was excellent. As always had to indulge in the fries and were great. Suggestion, please dim the lights as it creates more of an ambiance. All in all a great evening.”

“Yay! It’s great to arrive at Auckland International Airport in New Zealand and find food you love right away, especially when you’re tired after a day and night of travel. Immediately upon exiting the international arrivals area, you’ll find this popular, relaxed, casual spot to grab a small quiche, a muffin or chia pudding. They offer soy, almond, coconut and oat milk for coffee drinks. They don’t make their drinks too sweet. You’ll find recyclable utensils and straws. Service is accurate, efficient and friendly. And they sell alkaline water in plant based reusable bottles. My tummy enjoyed the kombucha with ginger and turmeric. Way to go!”

“Great atmosphere to enjoy a drink and a meal.”

“Food was amazing! I loved the coffee cured kingi. Light and satisfying, perfect for warm days. My friends enjoyed their pork belly bites a lot too. Would definitely come back asap.”

“I had heard a lot about Lucky Gs and their reputation as the best burger spot in New Zealand, so my wife and I decided to check it out. It's located near Kelston Mall, and there was plenty of street parking available, so we had no trouble finding a spot. It was Sunday afternoon, and the place was buzzing with people dining in and grabbing takeaways. The interior looked amazing. Lots of cool decorations and photos that gave the place a great vibe. The staff were super friendly and enjoyed what they did, which made the atmosphere even livelier. As for the burgers, they lived up to the hype. My wife had the Little G - a tasty, smaller burger that wasn’t too juicy but still really flavourful. I went for the burger with jalapeños and loved the spicy kick. We added a combo for $7, and the potato chips were perfectly cooked. Overall, we enjoyed our visit and can't wait to come back and try more of their burgers!”

“We've had an amazing dinner. Surprised we haven't heard of this place until recently. Delicious flavors presented beautifully”

“Really delicious food and great quantity sizes. Will definitely try make this a regular place to eat!”

“Stunning experience, not only the food is outstanding, great service. Large offre of wines by the glass and even more by the bottle - mostly organic, biodynamic and natural wines. Totally recommend the experience!”

“Highly recommend the grilled meats here, especially the beef — perfectly cooked and super juicy! I’d suggest going for medium rare for the best flavor. Their signature Kika sauce is also amazing and goes perfectly with the meat. Definitely a must-try spot!”

“Great place for dinner! The atmosphere for this place is just right with the lighting going well with everything. The servers were friendly being knowledgeable with the dishes. The Beef Wellington tasted great, the meat itself was cooked perfectly with it melting in my mouth. The oven baked cauliflower was just amazing. The flavours definitely goes well together, having it inspired by Indian spices probably. The price was pretty respectable for the quality of the food, service and place.”

“Our second time at Apero in ten days, and both times were terrific. The food is imaginative and beautifully presented. The service is so good - a really friendly host takes you through the menu and the wine list in a very charming way, and you feel very welcome, appreciated and well cared for. All the dishes were excellent, and especially good - the potato dauphine and the strawberry soufflé. Oh, and the very good bread and butter! That something so simple can be so well done just shows what a tip top kitchen is at work!”

“We tried the tortellini and spaghetti bolognaise, it was absolutely delicious. It’s been a while since we’ve been to a proper Italian restaurant and this one didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is beautiful, service is attentive and friendly. We will come back if we are in this area again.”

“Paris Butter is an absolutely impeccable establishment. Easily a 10/10 experience. The staff were not only incredibly friendly but also impressively knowledgeable, making the evening feel special from start to finish. Even getting to pick my own knife for one of the dishes - a very special touch. Every dish was strikingly presented with precision and bursting with flavour. Highly recommend making Paris Butter a priority on your dining list, it’s an experience not to be missed.”

“This restaurant offers the most excellent customer service on K Road. After a cozy dinner nearby, my partner and I visited despite the rainy weather. The staff greeted us warmly, making us feel comfortable and welcome. The ambiance was luxurious, and the bar inside was fabulous without being noisy. We noticed many couples enjoying their wines and cocktails after dinner. We ordered a Polite Martini cocktail, which had a strong and authentic gin flavour. I initially ordered it for my partner, but she found it too strong, so I ended up drinking it all - it was very good! I also ordered a beer for myself. We had an excellent time there. The place was open and warm, and the beautiful alcoholic drinks combined with the kind service made us feel relaxed and comfortable, allowing us to chat a lot. For dessert, we ordered the Buñuelo, a gelato with a sour taste that I loved. Overall, this restaurant was fantastic. Great service, great drinks. Highly recommended!”
