French restaurant in Auckland

“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!”

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

“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.”

“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!)”

“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!”

Everybody Eats leans into a simple, bistro‑style approach without the fuss. Easy carry‑out for a simple night in. A sensible spend for the spread. Cakes and scoops finish things neatly. The team keeps...

“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”

“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!!”

“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!”

At I Love Crepes, the menu stays simple, bistro‑style and no‑fuss. Meat‑free options are woven into the menu. The team keeps things friendly and organised. Orders move at a steady pace. Value feels fa...

“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!”

“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.”

“Beautiful food as always. The cocktails were fabulous. Some of the cocktails could have been a little bit more decorated as we loved taking photos. Apart from this everything was perfect.”

“El Greco Greek Restaurant delivered an outstanding dining experience. The meal was delicious, authentic and expertly prepared, with fresh ingredients. The portion was generous including the Calamari starter which was amazing. The service was warm, attentive, and professional, making us feel welcome without being intrusive. A wonderful, on-the-house birthday dessert added a memorable and celebratory touch. Highly recommended for a reliably superb meal and excellent hospitality.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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”

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

“Culprit had been on our must-try list for a while, thanks to its reputation for contemporary New Zealand cuisine. We finally got the chance to experience it for our wedding anniversary dinner—and it did not disappoint! We opted for the seasonal menu with wine pairings and couldn’t resist adding a Culprit classic as well. Every bite was a delight. Truly loved it! The restaurant’s soft music, stylish décor, and gentle lighting created the perfect romantic and relaxing atmosphere. A big thank you to the professional and friendly staff who made our evening even more special. Keep up the amazing work! Culprit has officially earned a spot as one of our favourite date night spots in Auckland CBD.”

“This isn't your usual burger joint; I'd describe it as a more upscale option compared to the cheaper alternatives. Having sampled most of their burgers, I can vouch for their deliciousness. The chicken raptor stands out as my favorite with its perfect blend of onion rings and fried chicken. If you're in the area or passing through, it's definitely worth a stop. They serve promptly, and the fries complement the meal excellently.”

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

“Our first time here and we were very pleased with the ambience, food, staff and prices. The place filled up quickly with customers, but it didn't slow down the dishing out of food. The owner was walking around talking to the patrons and the wait staff were quick in attending to tables and bringing out orders. It was very very windy and cold outside, but with the windows closed and the heat pumps on, it very pleasant inside. Will definitely visit again, but maybe in summer when the weather permits us to sit outside and enjoy the beach!”

“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”

“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.”

“It is a little restaurant, with a home atmosphere. The menu offers different options of main. The dishes are very well prepared, and they have a construction of flavors. The staff are very attention and worried to keep the client satisfied.”

“A modern French experience at an affordable price. Choose between the chef’s selection or al a carte off the menu. My companion and I went with the latter option and it was perfect! The service was exceptional. Only suggestion for the future if management can consider implementing is acting in the comments on the booking. I had advised this was for a special occasion but it wasn’t acknowledged. Nevertheless, this was a fabulous dining experience.”

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

“Finally made it to Hugo’s Bistro for their weekend dinner offer — I’ve always wanted to dine here, and this was the perfect excuse! We absolutely loved everything from the moment we arrived. The welcome was warm, and the host who looked after us made our evening feel genuinely special. The complimentary glass of champagne was such a thoughtful touch. The menu is beautifully curated, and every dish we tried was exceptional. You can really feel the care and craft behind the food and the service. Hugo’s, you’re truly deserving of all the accolades you’ve received. We can’t wait to return!”

“Tucked away on a corner, didn't know this place existed until a couple of weeks ago. Clean, tidy and spacious inside, outside has a couple of tables. Has a modern casual feel to it. Heaps of parking. This place has really good food, fresh and tasty as. Staff/owner very friendly and accommodating. Recommend you to try it out!”

“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.”
