French restaurant in Auckland

“This was a great meal to end our time in New Zealand. The restaurant has a nice and calm atmosphere and the service was excellent. The fish and chips meal was great and the vanilla latte and feijoa kombucha were the perfect topper to a wonderful meal. (I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the meal!)”

“Our month-long North Island campervan trip is coming to an end. We arrived in Auckland earlier than planned during our trip, and we hurriedly found a campsite. It looked like a vagrant's hostel, so we canceled our reservation. We were so shocked as to get out without thinking further. To think properly, we decided to grab a bite to eat at the first cafe we ​​found, but it was closing time. We were eating our takeaway sandwiches on a bench outside, and the staff came out and handed a full bag of leftover doughnuts and bread from the day. They could have given them to another customers, but I think they gave them to us because we were on our way. The reason I mention this in my review is that I was impressed by their strict adherence to the same-day sales policy. The bread from our sandwiches at closing time was crispy and delicious, as if freshly baked. They could have sold the bread of still good quality the next day, but they'll bake tomorrow's bread the next day. Isn't that wonderful? As we were leaving, the staff, busy with cleanup, all waved cheerfully and said goodbye. My initial panic instantly calmed, and I felt at ease again. My husband said the cream donut was his thing, and even though he was already full from the sandwich, he ate it all up in no time. It's a shame I didn't get to try the coffee. I'll come back before I return to Korea to try the coffee and review it. (No photos taken in the bad mood)”

“Been wanting to go here for a while now, and it absolutely lived up to my hype! Quaint 80s/90s American Diner type place and that vibe is immaculate, combined with the feeling of being in a busy little eatery in Japan. Runs like clockwork, too. Their "Dr Pepper" burger is unbelievably good! Already packed with so many good quality & some interesting ingredients... and then the jus they top it off with is so flavourful and much in quantity, makes this burger unlike any other. Bit messy to eat but thoroughly enjoyable and super filling, especially with the plenty of very well seasoned fries you get for $3 extra. Their handmade Creamy Chicken and Bacon pasta is also fantastic - simple ingredients, perfect cook and exactly what they say they are; nothing more or less. Very reasonably priced, just considering the quantities of the servings and quality of ingredients & cook, but the flavour especially stole the show and made it well worth the cost!”

“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.”

“Our second time at Apero in ten days, and both times were terrific. The food is imaginative and beautifully presented. The service is so good - a really friendly host takes you through the menu and the wine list in a very charming way, and you feel very welcome, appreciated and well cared for. All the dishes were excellent, and especially good - the potato dauphine and the strawberry soufflé. Oh, and the very good bread and butter! That something so simple can be so well done just shows what a tip top kitchen is at work!”

“Paris Butter is an absolutely impeccable establishment. Easily a 10/10 experience. The staff were not only incredibly friendly but also impressively knowledgeable, making the evening feel special from start to finish. Even getting to pick my own knife for one of the dishes - a very special touch. Every dish was strikingly presented with precision and bursting with flavour. Highly recommend making Paris Butter a priority on your dining list, it’s an experience not to be missed.”

“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!”

“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 :)”

“Great for classic Italian flavors and generous portions,the wood fire pizzas are fantastic! Great place to eat.Excellant staff and service.”

“Had a great experience overall! The food was absolutely excellent—every course was full of flavour and beautifully presented. The crew was warm and attentive, and the ambience was really cool and inviting. A special shoutout to the bartender—absolutely amazing! The only downside was the wait time. Our three-course meal took over two hours, which felt a bit too long. That said, the quality and vibe made it worth the wait. Would still recommend, especially if you're not in a rush.”

“I'd heard about this place and made the trip across Auckland and was not disappointed! The Rosier burger had everything a burger needs and the cheeseburger was amazing too! Will be back. Love the bbq rubs and sauces available over the counter too!”

“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”

“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.”

“Great spot for breakfast. Small or large you won’t be disappointed. We had poached eggs on toast. They even had gluten free toast. Coffee is excellent.”

“This restaurant is highly recommended. First, the owner was very enthusiastic and patient when I was ordering. Second, the food in this restaurant is very delicious. It is generous in portion and good in taste. The drinks here are also highly recommended. Plus，What makes it particularly warm is that before meals, hand sanitizing gel is provided on each table. This allows customers to disinfect their hands before eating, which is very hygienic and aligns well with the restaurant's halal philosophy. Overall, it is a restaurant that makes people want to go again after the first visit.”

“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!!”

“I had a flat white and French toast there this morning, and both were amazing! The staff were super friendly, and the flat white was one of the best I’ve had. Highly recommend this spot!”

“Really nice cooked breakfast. It took a little while to arrive but that was because it was cooked from scratch with care and attention. The quality of the food and ingredients was really good. The place itself is pretty bare and basic, but also spotlessly clean. The owner was happy for me to move a table outside next time I go so I can bring my dog along. I went to the Columbus Cafe up the road the weekend before and was really disappointed with a similar breakfast. If your looking for a nice breakfast and good coffee from a friendly host go here. Especially go here over Columbus.”

“Went here for a Christmas party. The staff were amazing and went out of their way to be helpful. Food was Christmas dinner and who doesn't love Cooked Ham, Roast Beef with all the trimmings. There was veges and salad. Dessert was just as good. The room was festive and well laid out as th not feel squashed. Highly recommend this venue for functions.”

“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.”

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

“Father’s Day 2025 celebration was had here, the place was bustling with diners enjoying themselves with food and drinks served by wonderful wait staff, prices are reasonable and quantity is satisfying as is the presentation and taste. We had a small wait which was acceptable, due to the number of happy clients! I would wholeheartedly recommend Cafe Lincoln for a nice friendly experience! Arthur C. Charlton west Auckland NZ”

“Steak & chips was interesting to had - love it! Love the menu and atmosphere, ordered brown butter coffee (not my regular) as was curious about it, taste great! 5-star for me definitely recommended!”

“Bar Celeste has become a bit of a K Rd institution. Food excellent - contemporary European, fabulous wine and attentive service.”

“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”

“This is a perfect spot for great wine and gorgeous food. I booked the courtyard for our end of year work celebration, everyone was blown away by the service, food and overall vibe. Shout out to Marlies who was an absolute dream to work with in bringing it all together.”

“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!”

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