French restaurant in Auckland

“Tasty food and super friendly service with generous portions”

“I really enjoyed my meal AND the dessert! It was quite a treat, at an affordable price and great quality. The eggs Benedict wasa great portion size and perfectly cooked. I also had an orange almond cake - yummy... The coffee was great. This cafe is somewhat slightly hidden , but it's worth finding it !”

“Weekday lunches are guaranteed at this restaurant, which is conveniently located next to a sushi shop. I frequently visit with my colleagues for a slightly upscale lunch. The average price range is around $21, making it a bit expensive, but the consistently recommended food quality and quantity make it worthwhile and fulfilling. Personally, I enjoy their crispy chicken with rice and braised pork belly on rice.”

“Hands down favourite dumplings in the whole wide world has to be the pork and chive in spicy sauce. Their ‘hot’ is not to be underestimated, but even though it burns a little for me it’s well worth it. Dan dan noodles a nice accompaniment to the dumplings but not a must. Portion sizes are huge so always go for the Small if in doubt. Fell in love with the original Basu Lounge in Takapuna but I really rate their Browns Bay location more.”

“We had dinner with my wife's family In cafe Hanoi a few weeks back and it was amazing. The food was delicious, the staff was really engaging and the dining setup was impressive. The food standout for the Taste, presentation and Verity of different dishes. I would love to come back again next time while we are staying in Auckland.”

“Want last week to get the bacon backfire.. seriously you can tell the team love working here with their chilled vibes , making the customers feel welcome and most importantly the quality of the burgers are legendary .. such a nice place to murder a burger!”

“I was served by Oliver and Toby. The food was so delicious 10/10. I came at 9:30pm and food tasted fresh, they made the order so fast. I am so full after this and I will definitely be coming back here.”

“This restaurant has lots of wines with reasonable prices. And manager’s recommendation made my dinner perfect. Foods are delectable and you have to pair with wine. You can see a Mission bay with your meal, that makes you comfortable. Wonderful place!”

“It was always a pleasant experience to dine at this little gem at Half Moon Bay Marina. Coffee always perfect , food always nicely present and delicious. Friendly service and good indoor and outdoor vibes.”

“Awesome cafe in Howick. We ordered the Beef croquettes, Salmon Eggs Benny and a simple Cheese Toastie. All came out hot and at the same time. All were delicious, especially the Croquettes. My only negative was a few things I originally wanted were not available. We will be back”

“Whenupai roast catered for my event and boy did they do a great job. They were super friendly and wanted to hear about my story. The food was delicious and on time, I highly recommend getting the wontons in your order.”

“Great place to grab a roast dinner. Excellent portion sizes and really friendly staff.”

“The best fried chicken takeaway I think I’ve ever had in New Zealand. SO good. The hot chips and fish were also delicious. Reasonable prices, good size servings. Thank you very much!”

“Friendly staff. The restaurant was almost full so I would recommend booking a table beforehand. The waiting time was short and we didn't have to wait long for our food after we ordered. The food was delicious and made with good quality ingredients that is better than other Chinese restaurant nearby. The dish sizes are large, so it's a ideal restaurant for family and/or friend gatherings. I was happy when I saw one of the staff put a dropped table cloth into a bin for cleaning instead of using it anyway, good hygiene practices. Will come again!”

“Great family friendly environment. Bring your kids for an ice cream and enjoy the brunch. Pet friendly cafe.”

“Great local. Been coming here for years. Beside their fish & chips, love their sweet n sour, chow mein, black bean & fried rice options. Very tasty, reasonable prices.”

“Been coming here for over 5 years now and would highly recommend this place if you’re looking to get a really good roast.”

“Best sushi I have ever tasted. The freshest you will find anywhere. Lovely staff too. Very friendly and kind.”

“The food here is AMAZING. Every single dish we ordered was perfection and the smoothies are to die for. We ate so much food as it was so delicious! The service was impeccable. Even though the cafe is not near where we live, we will definitely return regardless as our experience was perfection. Highly recommend!”

“$3.90 nice piece of chicken too :)”

Pine Harbour Eatery leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach with tidy execution. Outdoors works well when the weather plays along. Packaging keeps things in good shape to go. Serve sizes show solid value.

“WOW WOW WOW... Highly recommend Captain Chicken to anyone after a delicious bite to eat. Photo is of the CCT Super Burger, top notch & super tasty. 10/10”

“Had the yummiest Vegan burger. It was/is a taste sensation. Fresh as! Partner had 2 Little Huia Burgers. He said they were scrumptious. Once again fresh as!”

“Best Bacon & Egg Burger in town, Google directed me here for a lunch bar in manukau & I must say super happy, will most definitely be returning. Great staff really friendly and happy to share conversation. Great work guys keep it up”

“Their Chung fin is very tasty although their trading hours are quite questionable. They don’t open later for dinner. When you come here to buy food past 5pm you will have to pray they still have the food you want”

“the hash egg bacon muffin is one of the best and potato top pie never gets over heated, thanks auntie”

“Last night, after dinner was done, we went on a wild goose chase to find the holy grail of coffee and dessert spots - and boy, did we hit the mother lode with this place! The coffee was off the charts and the apple crumble was so divine it should have its own fan club - the chef is a culinary rock god! We also fell head over heels for the staff's super friendly vibes, especially Pranav, who's probably the nicest human on the planet. We ended up coming back for breakfast today and it was totally worth it - we can't recommend this place enough and we're already counting down the days until our next visit!”

“It’s a tiny drive into the cafe. Drive slow you can zip right past it. Delicious Altura coffee. Lots of food options both in the cabinet and on the board. About 5 or 6 tables outside great on a sunny day. If there’s any left when you get there try the cheese scone !!!”
