French restaurant in Auckland

“I’ve been going there since 2010. Never had any problems with my food. Always loved their sirloin steak with salad and chips. You get the best meal for a good affordable price.”

“Authentic Cantonese style Yum Cha ! The dim sum is the best that I had in Auckland so far !”

“Haven't been here in years was super impressed with everything. Love the layout & different themes for each seated area, such a great idea to uncorporate a Library never seen that in a restaurant before, it adds a lovely homely feel, my favourite would have to be the Whiskey Lounge, the decor makes you feel you've stepped back in time. Food was fantastic had the classic kiwi steak meal cooked to perfection & our host MJ, what a delightful, courteous human. She certainly knows that menu inside out, very precise, certainly don't get fabulous service like that anymore, thank you MJ. Had a very enjoyable & memorable evening, definitely recommend coming here.”

“Delicious dishes especially some from local Dalian eg 三鲜焖子，stir fry cabbage, lamb, wasabi prawns, etc all very yummy. Being there a few times and still want to go.”

“This is a very nice restaurant to go too, the food was definitely top self, every course was served in time warm and well seasoned. We were well looked after by such welcoming amd friendly staf. We will definitely be coming back and with company.”

“I was there this afternoon for a quick coffee, but the friendly manager convinced me to have a snack/meal too, seeing as I was clearly eyeing the cabinet food! When I said the meals on the menu looked too big, she offered to make me a half portion, which was very thoughtful. The half portion was not only generous (it looked like a full portion) but also delicious. It was the chicken salad on the lunch menu. Fresh, and well made. The manager also offered me some honey to add to my ginger tea - She could tell my voice was hoarse and throat hurting. I really enjoyed the personalised, warm service. I was also given the wifi password without asking - I'm not sure what else I could ask for in terms of service and food quality! I've always been here for desserts after dinner (I LOVE their cabinet sweets) but this was my first lunch visit and and it was really fulfilling. Definitely coming back here! Cheers”

“Went here with the family and it was super delish, ordered the lamb shanks and it was so tender. The sides you help yourself once your recieve your meal and there were good side choices available. Prices are reasonably cheap. Tea and coffee also available”

“Did a takeaway for the first time. Ordered online. Good chicken fried rice, fish fillet in Maggie sauce great. And sauteed vegetables ok. Will definitely go for a sit down dinner.”

“Huge thanks to Nigel and his team for ensuring out Big BNI Secret Santa Breakfast was a success. From sharing their expert advice re organising the event for 80 peeps to accommodating the Christmas activities we wanted. The restaurant looked amazing, food was delicious, dietary requirements catered for, and great service - made us very welcome. Thanks Nigel, see you next year. Mariska”

“Breakfast meals were good. It’s a busy eatery so no real interaction with service just go in and be seated. You do need to go to the counter and order they are too busy to take table orders so don’t sit at your table waiting which I noticed a family do. Enjoyed the omelette and mango lassi. The menu has a lot of variety showcasing their Fijian meals. Servings and price was reasonable. Will go back to try their mains. Definitely try them out.”

“Had lunch here and it was very nice to sit in at a restaurant with exceptional service and great food! The portions were also generous, will definitely be back again.”

“Selected the tasting menu which was superb, the staff had a great knowledge of the plates they were serving, each course was a delight. Going with the tasting option gave us the opportunity to sample the dishes we wouldn't ordinarily select. Learnt some fantastic new palate and flavor mixes. The head chef visited us and personally grated the fresh Christchurch Truffle which was amazing. All in all we can't fault the experience. Pricey yes but well worth it. Sorry the food pictures don't do the meal justice.”

“I ordered bibimbap as a healthy meal. The combination of fresh vegetables, just like the ones I had in Korea, was well-balanced and neatly presented. The bulgogi was served separately, allowing me to fully enjoy its own flavor, which made the dining experience more enjoyable and enhanced my appetite. I would love to visit again.”

“Had a great lunch at Lone Star Manukau for my little sister’s birthday on Sunday! The food was delicious and well prepared, and Sophia’s service( this is the name I saw on my receipt, I hope its her) was absolutely fantastic, friendly, attentive, and made our visit even better. Highly recommend for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch experience!”

“Delicious meals and very good atmosphere! Highly recommended”

“Lovely spacious restaurant in the heart of Botany Town Centre. The food was delicious, the mussels in white wine and garlic cream was so good. The pork belly was tender and the crackling cooked to perfection and the potato bake complimented the whole dish. The longhorn cheesecake was yummy with subtle flavors of kaluha and moro bar, very nice. A really enjoyable evening made even better by the polite and attentive staff. We would gladly dine here again.”

“Have not been to a Lone Star in ages. I feel it is the more expensive version of cobb and co. However, food and service was really good and loved the banoffee pie.”

“What a great place, absolutely brilliant service. We felt absolutely welcome and genuinely enjoyed talking with the hosts. Very reasonable prices for the sandwiches for these days, and they were definitely put together with care for the food. The combinations and components made the food that much better.”

“The best place for breakfast & lunch on Waiheke Island! Lovely spot with few seats outside, offering stellar breakfasts with REAL french patisserie goods (only place we got a like-in-Paris croissant in weeks...), as well as yummy sandwiches & burgers around lunchtime. Prices significantly lower than rest of the island while the food is better here. We came back twice during our three day-stay on the island!”

“Really tasty food, well balanced flavours. Love the ratio of meat, rice and salad. My partner doesn't eat salad so I happily had his share. So glad they had a pop up at Smales Farm but wished they could stay longer. The spaghetti and chicken was tasty too! Highly recommend the adobo, lechon and inasal.”

“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.”

“Awesome burger bar! Enjoyed the food and the service was fantastic. Great location. Highly recommend”

“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!”

“Yaye❤️Finally a place where island food is cooked to the upmost best in Henderson . I bought the pork, fried keke pua'a, panakeke, potato salad, and the yummy Pineapple pie. Everything was cooked to how it should. Pork was tender, NOT CHEWY or DRY. Was very satisfying and highly recommended. Service was awesome too. Welcoming and friendly. Will definitely be back for more. Sorry only had this Pic coz kids and husband already savaged the rest lol”

“We ordered a few dishes tonight. The steak meals were delicious..the sauce was amazing. I really enjoyed the steak on chips, great ratio of steak and chips. Definitely will be back for dinner!!”

“After reading and hearing all the amazing feedback from the local community, I had to try a Burger and Chips. The Chicken Burger was Huge and full of Real ingredients, I went with the Chicken Aloha Burger. The seasoning was perfect, the flavor combinations with bacon and pineapple were exciting and filling! *Real Chicken lovely and Tender, the salad components all fresh and crispy. I couldn't finish all the chips myself, the aoli sauce just topped it all off well. Highly Recommend!! If your passing through Hellensville, pop in and try one of their meals. Delicious and Fresh !!”

“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!”
