French cuisine restaurant in Auckland

“This Mediterranean spot in town is top-notch! Customers love it for its great service, upbeat atmosphere, yummy food, and excellent customer care. Plus, they keep the toilets clean! We tried the Mediterranean chicken, bread, and dips, especially recommending Love in Sam's special dip. Give it a go!”

“I lived across the road for about 8 months and frequently visited Vero Cafe. I can honestly say it's my favourite Cafe in Auckland! The owners are very friendly and the food is fantastic. Sitting outside in the sun and enjoying their delicious all-day breakfast and great coffee was the highlight of my day.”

“FB messaged them for details quick response. Ordered over messenger. Picked up at 1pm. Lovely lady had the food ready to go. The samosas come with 3 different fillings: beef, potato & corn n cheese. We got the beef samosas & the potato ones. Both were fresh, perfect ratio of filling to pastry & perfect spice level. My partner who is kiwi found it right for his spice level. The bunny chow had so much meat in it & the gravy was perfectly soaked in the bread. The gravy was so flavorful & it’s the best I’ve had. My partner loved his masala steak shawarma too. He did have to add some yoghurt as it was a teensy bit too spicy for him. They do contactless pickup. Order before you go as they are super busy. Definitely will be back”

“It’s so rare to find a restaurant that gets it right in Auckland these days. Enjoy great food, great wine and excellent service - fantastic thank you guys!”

“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!”

“Beautiful food as always. The cocktails were fabulous. Some of the cocktails could have been a little bit more decorated as we loved taking photos. Apart from this everything was perfect.”

“El Greco Greek Restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience. The meal was delicious, authentic and expertly prepared, with fresh ingredients. The portion was generous including the Calamari starter which was amazing. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome without being intrusive. A wonderful, on-the-house birthday dessert added a memorable and celebratory touch. Highly recommended for a reliably superb meal and excellent hospitality.”

“We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Mr. Morris and absolutely loved the experience! The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I especially enjoyed the sauces, which were incredibly tasty and elevated each dish. The cocktails and wines were also fantastic, creative, balanced, and just the right touch for a special celebration. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, such a memorable evening. Highly recommend for a refined yet relaxed dining experience!”

“Culprit had been on our must-try list for a while, thanks to its reputation for contemporary New Zealand cuisine. We finally got the chance to experience it for our wedding anniversary dinner—and it did not disappoint! We opted for the seasonal menu with wine pairings and couldn’t resist adding a Culprit classic as well. Every bite was a delight. Truly loved it! The restaurant’s soft music, stylish décor, and gentle lighting created the perfect romantic and relaxing atmosphere. A big thank you to the professional and friendly staff who made our evening even more special. Keep up the amazing work! Culprit has officially earned a spot as one of our favourite date night spots in Auckland CBD.”

“The toasted chicken club is a regular favourite, and I love seeing creative coffee art”

“Food was incredible. Came here for my partners birthday at lunch time very quiet and Food was delicious had kufta and lamb kebab with bread and wow the garlic sauce that came with the kebab was amazing never had anything like it! Bread was great meat was so succulent. The kufta sauce was delicious and the meatballs were succulent and I wish I could have eaten it all but I was so full! Thank you for this amazing food”

“A hidden gem that serves up some fantastic ramen and other dishes. Went here with my fiancée to grab some ramen and katsu after a long day of adventures and hikes. They are in a rather odd location, a warehouse district with no discerning signs of a restaurant in the heart of it. However if you have the drive it has definitely worth a stop. Staff is super friendly and dishes come out piping hot. Would just mention that there isn’t a ton of seating inside and outside so larger parties may run into some obstacles there. However a more intimate dinner date is easy.”

“It is a little restaurant, with a home atmosphere. The menu offers different options of main. The dishes are very well prepared, and they have a construction of flavors. The staff are very attention and worried to keep the client satisfied.”

“A modern French experience at an affordable price. Choose between the chef’s selection or al a carte off the menu. My companion and I went with the latter option and it was perfect! The service was exceptional. Only suggestion for the future if management can consider implementing is acting in the comments on the booking. I had advised this was for a special occasion but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nevertheless, this was a fabulous dining experience.”

“Service & Food is amazing. Fair price and portion. Looking forward to having a go again”

“Finally made it to Hugo’s Bistro for their weekend dinner offer — I’ve always wanted to dine here, and this was the perfect excuse! We absolutely loved everything from the moment we arrived. The welcome was warm, and the host who looked after us made our evening feel genuinely special. The complimentary glass of champagne was such a thoughtful touch. The menu is beautifully curated, and every dish we tried was exceptional. You can really feel the care and craft behind the food and the service. Hugo’s, you’re truly deserving of all the accolades you’ve received. We can’t wait to return!”

“I had the distinct pleasure of eating at Di Vino Bistro for the first time. It was a most wonderful experience, the service was amazing, the food incredible and the price very reasonable.”

“I want to know when the pizza arrives! It's so delicious that I wish I could eat it anytime. The atmosphere is nice, friendly, and especially the outdoor seating is great.”

“Ali is amazing and cooks with his heart and soul. All I can say is these are the BEST Kebabs and Shish Kebabs I've had in Auckland, made with so much love and served with a smile always. The quantity of meat in the kebabs is great too, true value for money, not like the ones with the sauces you normally get. Worth a try if you haven't already and you will be surprised :D Thanks again Ali :)”

“Delicious!! I tried the lemongrass beef banh mi and iced coffee. The sandwich was tasty with a good amount of beef, crisp veggies, and fresh bread. I asked for spicy, and it had a great kick to it! The coffee was strong and sweet. Prices were very reasonable, and the lady in the kitchen was so nice. Thank you for the food!!”

“Lovely little vegetarian cafe with lots of vegan options that are clearly marked on the menu. Tasty food and good service. Recommended!”

“Hong Kong cuisine with Vermicelli, Baked Rice, Sizzling Plate and Entrées. They also have Desserts and Drinks. Big portions and good value for money. The Baked Rice meals are good for sharing, as there are many choices and differentflavour sauce. Plenty of parking right outside and clean facilities.”

“I hadn't my breakfast and wasn't planning for lunch, so I thought why not to have brunch at Goode Brothers, I ordered mushroom burger, onion rings and pineapple juice for me. The taste were amazing, it satisfied my cravings for carbs and suger. I enjoyed it with lovely sunny and windy weather bcz I was seating outside. If you are vegetarian and don't know what to order, try this mashroom burger at Goode Brothers. It was lovely experience to have brunch there. Highly recommend. The staffs were very friendly and helpful. Everything was 10/10.”

“The most authentic and delicious Mexican food places in Auckland. Can't recommend it enough.”

“First German restaurant for me and I have to say: I will come back. Me and my partmer had the plate A and even if it looks big, if you’re hungry don’t worry you’ll eat everything. Loved the sauce and the smashed potatoes, reminds me of my grandma’s one. I like the fact that you have tomatoes, coleslaw and other salads on free service. We also had the tab german beer and nothing to add you know just a tab beer. But the owner is really kind and gave us a good experience. Boyfriend here, I’ve been to Berlin and the taste is familiar. I vouch for this only german restaurant in West Auckland. Traditional I love it”

“Authentic French food in Auckland. Perfect for weekend brunch spot. We enjoyed savoury galettes, croque monsieur and eggs benedict. Dinner menu looks great too.”

“First time visiting this restaurant tucked away in Takapuna. Glad I had my local son with me to guide me to parking and then the restaurant. Our waitress was wonderful. We started with chicken skewers and the pork belly. Both delicious. Mains were a t-bone steak and costillas (beef short ribs). Portions are generous and came with a side and a sauce. Everything was cooked to perfection and delicious. So much food we had to ask for containers to take food home. Our waitress brought us separate containers for the salads so they didn't wilt. She also provided tongs to pick the salad up. Just felt she went the extra mile for us. Highly recommend although someone told me earlier in the day it was expensive. This carnivore mum was delighted with the meal and thought excellent value for money.”

“A palate experience! Had such a fantastic time at Nanam in Takapuna! The food is absolutely delicious—every dish feels creative but still comforting. The wagyu longganisa was a standout, packed with flavor, and the beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth good. The vibe is modern and welcoming, perfect for a night out with family or friends. The staff were so warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for something a little different, with bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, I can’t recommend Nanam enough. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“An awesome cafe with great food and coffee. This is definitely our go to cafe in the area and we are never disappointed. The friendly, cheerful service matches the high standards of the food and drinks.”
