French cuisine restaurant in Auckland

“Great food and friendly service. We walked in for dinner and we were accordmodated with booking for dinner. Group of 4. Everyone enjoy thier food. Fresh and favor full. Good portion size. Will definitely have to return.”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”

“A little piece of Belgium right in the heart of Mt Eden village. Food is good and there are some days with specials at a very nice price (need to purchase a drink to get the deal though). Service is good and sometimes speak French! Yay! Can be very busy at times!”

“Lovely unassuming little coffee house. Friendly staff, nice peaceful atmosphere. Very reasonable on the pocket.”

“Celebrating our lovely daughter’s 6th birthday—and her very first birthday party—at this restaurant was the best decision we could have made! From the beginning, Rachel, the owner, was incredibly helpful, patiently answering all our questions and guiding us through the party planning process. The staff was beyond kind, making sure everything ran smoothly. The delicious buffet for adults, the fantastic kids’ menu, and the amazing outdoor playground made this place truly special. Everything was just perfect for us! A huge thank you to the staff for warmly accommodating 20 excited kids! If anyone is looking for the perfect venue for a child’s birthday party, I highly recommend this place!”

“Ok...I have to admit, it was not my intention to come here. I was really looking for The Grove and since they were closed this was right next door and up stairs. What an adorable place with a variety of fresh foods, filtered water, charming ambiance and a full bar of coffee, alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. No AC but the seating area is charming overlooking the near by park and church. And did I mention free wifi.”

“Great place if you want a quick bite. Ordered a chicken burger that was hot and fresh. Good taste.”

“Great food and service! And Ainsley, our server, was terrific! I would highly recommend Bella Cucina!!”

“On Christmas 2023, my brother and sister-in-law gifted me and my husband a gift voucher to Parnell 149 high tea with bubbles. Was amazed by the food quality - they were delicious! The service was great from the 2 host and the manager Jazz. The restaurant was well presented, clean including the bathroom. Please keep up the good work.”

“First time here and came after seeing the reviews. It absolutely didn't disappoint. Went for the seafood tartare to start which was really beautifully flavoured with hints of corriander and so fresh. Then went for one of the Wagyu scotch options. Had it medium rare upon recommendation from our lovely waitress. It was possibly one of the most beautifully flavoured tender pieces of steak ever. Both of us went for the same steak. If I come again I'll probably go for a few more side orders, went for the creamed spinach which was lovely. Will definitely return! Highly recommend and I am very fussy!”

“Delicious and authentic One of the best Nepales n Indian food I’ve had—rich flavors, great portions, and very friendly service. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. Highly recommend for a tasty, satisfying meal☺️☺️ Best place for events”

“We had a wonderful evening at Harbour Society! The environment was elegant and relaxing, with stunning views of the harbour that added to the experience. The eye fillet steak was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and served in a generous portion. The salmon was also excellent, fresh and full of flavour. Drinks were well crafted and very enjoyable. Service was absolutely top-notch—special thanks to the manager and the Japanese staff member, Kanu, for their warm hospitality. Everything came together to make it a truly memorable night.”

“The server was very nice, and the overall atmosphere and decor of the place was more business-y than just relaxing. I felt like the music was on the louder side as well. The eggs benedict was delicious (the hash brown was SO crunchy, and I could cut it with my knife as well), and the matcha latte was alright, though it was more on the sweeter side than I would've liked. The food was on the pricier side (which was to be expected in CBD). I'd recommend going with colleagues or friends/dates that prefer more middle to high-end looking cafes. There were lots of space, but most tables were suited for 2 people.”

“My go to roast place. Would recommend the potato and gravy dish and the roast pork meal.”

“Great place great noodle. It's good to have other choices along Lincoln road.”

“I went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. Spending time here was such a great experience. The food, the people, everything was fabulous. The seafood platter and feast were especially delicious, and the place has a really nice view. If you have a party coming up, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“Highly recommend their fried chicken wings. I would drive 30 min just for them. They have a very extensive menu - there's something for everyone. Not too expensive either! Limited parking but wheelchair accessible. Fast service too.”

“Got food through Uber Eats today and everything was incredible! Top notch food. We ordered the fried potato and chicken and it had a really good amount of spice in it. The fried pork tenderloin was crispy and flavorful. Then the seafood with fishcakes was also delicious. Highly recommend.”

“Great food, felt like I was back in the Middle East. Loads of food in a eat all you can buffet.for $30. Food was fresh and tasty, was very busy but they squeezed us in on a Saturday night. It's an eat and go type place, you godforsaken the food rather than the atmosphere. Would recommend for those who love Lebanese.”

“Friendly people fast and cheap and the fish n chips were great”

“Lovely food, been our go too Chinese takeaway for over 30yrs, the best deep fried won tons in the southern hemisphere....”

“Fabulous meal at Blondie’s tonight. We have a one night stopover locally and we were recommended to try this restaurant for supper. We all thoroughly enjoyed dinner and one of the best meals we have had on our trip so far. Highly recommended.”

“Baked pork chop on rice with tomato sauce and baked chicken on fried rice with Portuguese sauce. Very tasty. Authentic Hong Kong food. Would recommend.”

“Came here with my family for a Sunday lunch. The staff are very friendly and our server was lovely. Atmosphere of the restaurant is always so fun and lovely. The food came out quickly and was delicious. Portions are great for a fair price. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and midday desserts.”

“My family, partner and I visited Paper Moon last night (with a reservation) and we were given the honour of being served by Lucy. Lucy was a great server, she was friendly and didn't talk as if she was reading off a script. We'd all 100% go back just to be served by her. She also recommended that we moved tables as the table we were on previously was tiny for the 4 of us. Not long after switching tables (roughly 5-10 minutes) the table was properly sanitized and cleaned by another server. So cleanliness was a 10/10! Onto the food, we got the Grazing Board appetizer to start and there was such a wide variety of samplers and everything was extremely well made, tender and flavourful. Great starter; 9/10. But along with the appetizer we ordered, I got a chocolate milkshake. I had my expectations high, maybe a bit too high. To everyone it just tasted like milk with a very VERY slight hint of chocolate. 5/10; you're better off with a soda or water. My partner ordered the Scotch Fillet and they loved it, though I felt as though it was too charred on the top. Overpowering the taste of the steak. But the steak fries that came with it were perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Overall; 8/10. My mum ordered the Grilled Salmon with Risotto, the salmon completely melted in your mouth, vegetables were perfectly cooked, not too hard, not too soft. This would make a perfect 10/10 dish, but I think the risotto was a bit too salty. Which kind of made anything that was touching it have a distinct saltiness taste. I'd give this another 8/10. My pop ordered the Beef Wellington, which we were told would take 30 minutes, but it came out with almost everything else. Everything tasted amazing. From the pastry down to the sauce. The beef was perfectly rendered and the pastry had a small amount of cheese separating it from the pâté. Even the mushrooms in it were extraordinaire. The only complaint he had with it was that it was a bit too small, but I give it a 9/10. And finally, I ordered the Salt & Pepper Squid Salad. Which at the time I was surprised that it took the longest, everyone's food had already come out and it took maybe an extra 5 minutes. I didn't expect much from a salad but when it came out I understood why it took longer. This was by far the best and biggest salad I have ever seen and ordered. We also thought the squid was going to be small cuts of squid but it ended up being multiple big tender-sized chunks of squid that were perfectly tender and fell apart in your mouth. The salad itself was a bit flavourless but if you incorporate the sauce/dressing that's given with it, it becomes a whole lot better. This, in my opinion was the best dish of the night. 10/10. Now, onto dessert! When we were thinking of what to order we had asked Lucy how big the desserts usually are and instead of her telling us some fancy wording on why it's small, she told us straight up, which we loved. We ordered the Tiramisu and the New York Cheesecake, both were quite small but it was a good portion for the 4 of us considering we were all full from our mains. The Tiramisu wasn't the best I've had, but it was definitely a sight for sore eyes. Looking at it I felt like I had travelled to Italy! The mascarpone was pretty good but the lady fingers were too hard and crunchy. It was as if I was eating a scotch finger. I give it a 7/10. And as for the New York Cheesecake, it was amazing. It was moist, flavourful and the base was a perfect texture and consistency. Though it was a bit too flavourful. The berry and passionfruit compote was very overpowering. If you put them together all you can taste is the passionfruit, but if you try it separately it just becomes too much, so try the cheesecake with a small pinch of the compote. Overall I give it an 8.5/10. We just want to give a big thank you to Lucy for an unforgettable night and we will definitely come back just for you! This is a great place for a family dinner, a date night or just drinks with your mates. Come give this place a try! (All pictures hopefully in the same order)”

“I ordered the chicken burger and the steak, and both were absolutely delicious. The chicken burger was fresh, filling, and beautifully put together — a crispy, flavourful chicken fillet in a soft bun with fresh lettuce, served with hot, perfectly cooked fries on the side. Simple, comforting, and very satisfying. The steak was cooked perfectly — tender, juicy, and full of flavour. It came with smooth, creamy mash, fresh vegetables, and a rich gravy that brought everything together so well. The portion size was generous, and the balance on the plate was spot on. Everything tasted fresh, well prepared, and thoughtfully cooked. A really enjoyable meal overall, and I would happily order both dishes again.”

“cutest cafe! not a long wait! lots of variety for brunch and has bakery options & coffee & superfood lattes, parking isnt too bad either, staff is super nice & nice for photos and pretty decor”

“Was beautiful food Great presentation Great sized meals very generous sized loved it”

“A Consistently Exceptional Dining Experience I’ve been a loyal customer at Devon on the Wharf for quite some time now, and each visit reaffirms why this place is a true gem. From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home but with an elevated touch of elegance. Whether it’s for a casual meal with friends or a special celebration, this restaurant never disappoints. The food is consistently outstanding. Each dish is a testament to the skill and creativity of the culinary team. I’ve tried a variety of dishes, and they never fail to impress. The flavors are always fresh, the presentations are beautiful, and the ingredients are clearly of the highest quality. But beyond the incredible food, what really sets Devon on the Wharf apart is the service, and that’s where the manager truly shines. It’s rare to find someone who not only manages with precision but also exudes a genuine passion for hospitality. He has this incredible ability to make every guest feel valued and cared for, whether they’re regulars like me or first-time visitors. Their attention to detail, calm demeanor, and willingness to go above and beyond make every visit feel special. On several occasions, I’ve witnessed him take the time to engage with guests, ensuring that their experience is nothing short of perfect. It’s clear that the success of this restaurant is due in no small part to their leadership and dedication. In a world where great service can sometimes be hit or miss, he makes every visit an absolute pleasure. Whether you’re here for the delicious food or the stellar service, I can’t recommend Devon on the Wharf enough. It’s the kind of place that keeps you coming back, time and time again.”

“Great food and great atmosphere. The place fulled up quickly. All the food was great. Our server could have smiled or engaged a bit more.”
