French restaurant in Auckland

“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.”

“Delicious cafe that has always delivered. This is very hip and trendy and so, appropriately, the flavours are huge. Everything is very well seasoned and full of personality, as well as plated beautifully. They will switch out bits of dishes to accommodate allergies. The service is quick and polite. The toilets are clean .. though almost offensively bright! The location is a very cool one with some parking. Usually plenty of space inside as it's really big. I have yet to try the cabinet food because the plated menu is so good, but it looks absolutely delicious.”

“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.”

“Came for dinner, wicked customer service!! Super helpful and accommodating. The young team here gave top notch service, even opening our bottles on our drinks before bringing to table. Food, unbelievably fresh and tasty. Thanks new Lynn, see you soon”

“Chill vibes, a beautiful environment, and stylish interior design. The lunch was delicious, and the service was truly outstanding. It’s a place where you can fully relax, absolutely perfect for a summer catch-up with friends.”

“Myself and a mate have ben eating here frequently (2-3 days a week the past 2 years or so) and love the chilled atmosphere and staff. Quality lunch bar food with options to create your own (I order egg white omelette in the morning after the gym) - overall one of my favourite places to eat in the Airport Area!”

“Absolutely incredible – a must-try for vegetarians! We went here with a big group of friends and had the best experience. We had Vegetarian Mandi Rice family packs, and wow, we were not disappointed! The rice was so fragrant and perfectly spiced, and they mix paneer and vegetable into it is just magic. It was honestly one of the most biryani dishes I've ever had.”

“First Time at Old Town Malaysia Café Tried the Wan Ton Mee, Wat Tan Hor, and Fried Carrot Cake. The food was delicious, with flavors that reminded me of classic Singaporean street food—simple, comforting, and full of nostalgia. Portions are just right for one person. A great spot if you’re craving traditional tastes in a cozy setting.”

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

“Great service when entered & while eating Food didn't take long to come out Taste of food was beautiful very flavoursom with generous size to share ✴️The butchers block that was huge size able to feed up to 8 ppl although could of done with a side of garden salad & the colsaw as the colsaw was to rich on its own & it was runny needing to be in a bowl but yes different salad to break the meat would of been nice, yes all the meat tasty & tender yes worth a block ppl ✴️The blacksmith cheeseburger was OK needed more mayo or burger sauce was a bit dry biting into it , was expecting cheesy flavor couldn't finding in the bite. ✴️Surf n Turf was on par with cooking steak medium rare prawns & muscles done right ✅️ just needed a bit more salad & sauce. ✴️ Ceasars salad✅️ beautiful meaty & tasty It Complemented the butcher block had shared it around so worth. ✴️ mash potatoe was very tasty & smooth shared between 3ppl was beautiful ✅️ ✴️ Garlic pizza bread was tasty ✅️ but would of just got a normal Garlic bread. ✴️ Jug of coke & raspberry costly & when got to taste had no fizz it tasted flat had advised the waitress she had bought out a new jug . When sitting and talking towards end of the meal felt rushed with waitresses coming in interrupted conversations by asking to take thing off the table & the supervisors other waiters lingering around the bar area to where they could advise waitresses of emptying tables to get ppl out sooner they got in . It was like that when eating we were seated not far and could see they were lingering around it was uncomfortable. If they could spread out or hang back in backhouse it wouldn't feel weird. Other than that would definitely go back & highly recommend but find seating further from bar area.”

“This place has great food, but it's a hole in the wall, almost literally. It opened at noon and you have to go down this long hallway with bottles hanging. You sit on rickety wooden crates, there are 3 different rooms or sections. See if you can get the one in the back it's very laid back. We tried almost Eveything, I'd say you have a hard time finding something that you don't enjoy. Try the thumbs up if you're looking for Pepsi or coke.”

“Delicious food, great location. Food is on the more expensive side but is delicious”

“I recently visited Boy and Bird and had the pleasure of trying their crispy chicken, and it was absolutely delicious! The chicken was perfectly cooked with a golden, crispy exterior that gave way to juicy, tender meat inside. The seasoning was spot on, providing a nice balance of flavours without overpowering the natural taste of the chicken. The service was also friendly and efficient, making for a great overall dining experience. Highly recommend Boy and Bird if you’re craving some top-notch crispy chicken!”

“If you’re looking for a great kebab spot this is it!! The sweets are amazing, and the doners are perfect and incredibly fresh. The owners are also so lovely and welcoming. This is a must try”

“Wow what a food, awesome presentation, we ordered Tawa Chicken and Kadhai Paneer. Perfect blend of spices and food was very nice to eat.”

“It had been far too long since our last visit! The food remains exceptional, and the service is still top-notch. The entire menu is delicious, but the eggs benedict section is bloody good.”

“This is my new go to fish and chip shop. Fish of the day and hoki both at $3, an affordable add on to any combo (also reasonably priced). The fish batter was light and fresh, not too oily. The chips were nice and crispy. You can add your choice of salt. The burger was also delicious. I opted for the trevally raw fish and it was 10/10. Tons of parking, and ample space to dine in. Would highly recommend this spot.”

“What a great place to escape to sit in the sun or even inside. Coffee was awesome and had chicken panini and $27 big breakfast here which was very nice too. Kids play area to top off.”

“Had the most amazing breakfast here today, it was a special for fathers day, smashed avocado with apricot baked salmon on rosti. Fantastic! Coffee was great too, highly recommend, will be back. Best breakfast I've had at a cafe for a long time. Thanks!!”

“First time dining at Kareem Cafe with my colleagues, and it exceeded our expectations! The food was absolutely fantastic, and the prices were incredibly reasonable compared to other places. Plus, the menu had so many delicious options to choose from. We'll definitely be back – highly recommend!”

“I’ve been a regular at this café for a long time, and it has always been one of my favourites. Among all the cafés and restaurants I’ve visited, they truly have the best service staff — warm, attentive, and genuinely kind every single time. I’m moving to another city soon, and feeling really sad that I won’t be able to come as often. I’ll miss this place and the amazing team here. Highly recommended.”

“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.”

“Good Home Takanini is a fantastic place to dine. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour you can tell the chefs put real care into every plate. The portions were generous and definitely worth the price.”

“Had an amazing birthday dinner here. Both cocktails I had (Strawberry Kiss & Pink Gin Spritz) were so delicious. Cheesy Garlic Pizza Bread was so yummy, and my sirloin main with truffle parmesan fries, peas, & gravy was one of the best meals I’ve had out in a while. Staff were very friendly too, & food & drinks all came out quickly (was a Monday night though!). Will definitely come back.”

“This is one amazing place for a good meal and some really well made cocktails. We ordered for a meat pizza and 2 cocktails. It was really well made. The waitress also helped us in selecting what to eat. Clean bathrooms.”

“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.”

“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.”

“First time visiting. It was so nice to meet the previous owner who is Ara-Tai Cafe in Half Moon Bay. The atmosphere is nice and it's not too far from home, so it seems like a great place to brunch. The food is delicious and I'm planning to bring a friend.”
