French restaurant in Auckland

“This is mine and my best friend’s absolute favourite restaurant. Not only is the food incredible (we have never had a bad meal), but the service is unmatched (especially Brad). We’ve lost count of how many times we’ve been here, but by our third visit they already remembered our drink orders and that we want a chicken liver parfait while we decide what we order. Everybody is made to feel at home here and the service is amended to the person you are. Make sure you save room for a pavlova at the end as it’s the most delicious desert you will ever have in your life. CIBO CIBO CIBO”

“A palate experience! Had such a fantastic time at Nanam in Takapuna! The food is absolutely delicious—every dish feels creative but still comforting. The wagyu longganisa was a standout, packed with flavor, and the beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth good. The vibe is modern and welcoming, perfect for a night out with family or friends. The staff were so warm and attentive, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for something a little different, with bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, I can’t recommend Nanam enough. We’ll definitely be coming back!”

“Red Earth Bistro has such wonderful choices of food to choose from on their menu. All staff are friendly and courteous. Makes your time at the restaurant feel so relaxing and enjoyable. We always look forward to returning again for another night out with friends or family. Thank you all so much.”

“We ordered deep-fried spring rolls, bánh xèo, and pho. We enjoyed everything. Especially, the soup of the pho was great. We are happy to visit again❤️”

“Food brilliant, service exceptional, servings generous! Especially the pork belly. And when Mud made an appearance, topped off a wonderful birthday celebration! Thank you”

“I think this is the greatest Korean fried chicken in Auckland. The inside of the shop isn't the fanciest but the food is exceptional and great value. Fantastic family treat.”

“Firstly, this is the nicest & cleanest roast shop I've ever been in! The man and woman serving were super friendly and welcoming. My partner got a pork roll, chicken thigh and crispy but soft on the inside potatoes which were a 10/10. I opted for a small chicken roast meal, and swapped extra veggies for less chicken - which they were more than happy to do! I almost regret it now because the chicken was DELICIOUS. Crispy, juicy and so flavorful. We will definitely be back in the near future.”

“Just had one of their chicken and cranberry burgers from their Manukau location. Thoroughly enjoyable. Enjoyed it more than the other well known burger brand options. Great price and quality. Keep up the great work, I'll be back for more.”

“We've been here twice in the last month, and had a great meal each time. The new owners are really friendly and nice, and the bar has a nice coast atmoshere. On the Halloween night they had a dress up session with prizes, and Nelly was perfect as an Angel. The food is all great. I highly recommend the pizzas and the steak. Both are excellent. If I had to make one improvement suggestion, it would be to perhaps get a a wider range of craft beers. But generally this is a great place that I highly recommend.”

“We had a family Christmas lunch today at the Archer, the food was fantastic as was the service. Extensive menu has something for everyone, including the youngest member of our group (Mr Nearly Two). I happily recommend The Archer to anyone who is looking for a nice, quiet place for lunch during the week.”

“An awesome cafe with great food and coffee. This is definitely our go to cafe in the area and we are never disappointed. The friendly, cheerful service matches the high standards of the food and drinks.”

“Delicious, classic eggs bene, perfectly cooked. Great coffee and super friendly staff. Recommend.”

“Amazing restaurant, totally recommend! I came to this restaurant earlier this year and oh my was it amazing! First of all the atmosphere is very clean and well cared for, and the staff were very polite and good at their job. The food tasted amazing, especially the syrup chicken! The pasta also tasted great. The only complaint I have is that the wait was too long for the food! Overall please give this restaurant a try, it's worth it!”

“This place is no longer Williams Eatery - it’s now Bowler! They offer a fantastic selection of bowls, letting you choose from chicken, beef, or salmon, with bases of either brown rice, salad, or a mix of both. There are plenty of healthy options to enjoy here. I visited Bowler with my colleagues to check out the new spot, and it didn’t disappoint. The experience was wonderful! The staff were friendly and personally called out our names from the counter when our bowls were ready. It got quite busy during lunchtime, but at $17.90 per bowl, the price felt reasonable and well worth it. So far, I’ve tried the Free-Range Chicken Bowl (No. 1) and the Mt. Cook Salmon Bowl (No. 4). Both were absolutely delicious! The brown rice base is perfect if you’re looking for a more filling meal. The bowls focus on highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients, with no heavy sauces - just fresh, wholesome goodness. I enjoyed Williams, and now I am loving Bowler too. I’ll definitely be coming here more often for lunch. Highly recommended!”

“just tried the new special, Egg Benedict on Cheese Scone!!! The flavour was so good and the price was fair. The music was so relaxing as well and made me stay here for way longer than i expected. Workers were also really funny and nice to talk to! Definitely recommend”

“Absolutely love this cafe the food is amazing and atmosphere gives off a warm friendly vibe. Staff are also an added bonus with how welcoming and friendly they are, especially the chef! She is a boss in the kitchen 10/10 highly recommend her food! Always leave satisfied.”

“Excellent coffee, food and service. Very attentive and kind staff. I highly recommend:)”

“Went there for the side groceries several times Levant middle eastern groceries. Pickles, Tahini, canned halal foods & frozen Molokhia & Bamia ( Okra) as well as fresh Lebanese kmaj bread & yoghurt. White cheese & halloumi in small & large blocks as well as boiled white sheep cheese. The staff are very friendly & helpful”

“Loved the chef's special! The food was fresh and tasty. The Turkish coffee is quite intense, so if you're into strong expressos, you'll enjoy it.”

“Cute small japanese restaurant. The restaurant is clean and has a comfortable athmosphere. The staff is very nice and helpful. They seem to like working there and do a lot for the positive vibe. What I've ordered so far: Takoyaki - new favourite dish at Coo's, I just had it today and it was so creamy and delicious! Gyoza - absolutely amazing, especially with some soy sauce. Can 100% recommend this as a starter or to have with a drink. Katsu don (Pork) - was amazing, it could do with some extra tonkatsu sauce for the rice but was still very (!) good. Ikageso - delish little calamaries. Nothing more, nothing less. Karaage don - the karaage was nice and juicy. I am not yet sure how it compares to the chicken katsu don but can recommend. Eel don - beautifully presented and I loved it, but I like eel in general, so if you are not big on fish, I would not recommend this. Umeshu - nicely presented and tasty, reminded me of some dried plums I've had back in europe”

“Best crispy & BBQ pork I have had so far and also fried noodles are very tasty with good service and very good prices. Highly recommend.”

“Great place to pickup some Fiji curries, palau, ghorse fullia and savory snacks. So delicious and wonderful service.”

“If you love Korean food, Vietnamese pho, and hot pot, you must try this place! They offer a buffet at night for $38 per person, featuring a variety of vegetables, meats, and cooked dishes. The fried chicken and rick racker are absolutely delicious. The beef slices are perfect for the hot pot—juicy and tender. The owner even adds hot pot sauce to enhance the flavor. The soup for the hot pot is tasty, well-seasoned without being too salty. And don’t miss out on the bubble tea; it’s the perfect complement to the meal. Highly recommended!”

“Thank you for my steak meal and doughnuts it's great for muscle building. This is my partners favourite place, I see why. Fast service fresh hot delicious food - You can't ever go wrong with Tanz Kitchen Get your orders in folks.”

“Called in after a late job, heading home didn't feel like cooking so Ned's Roast was the perfect place to stop. Great service an yummy food.”

“Surprised how good the food was. Great chef, friendly vibes, and great views. We went during the day but will most definitely come back to for the evening menu!”

“This place has a very nice aura and relax feel. Meat was fresh and delicious, will definitely be back again. The skewers were yummy and large portions, enough for two!”

“Love love love the Huapai tavern! The bar staff are friendly and it feels like a home away from home, live bands on a Sunday and friendly locals make this one of the best places I have been to! Highly recommend giving the Hua a go!”

“Stopped yesterday for a Dirty Martini and really enjoyed the vibes here. Decided to get another drink. The other cocktails on the menu looked so good. Got their twist on french 75 which they put seasonal fruits in. The fruit used in my cocktail was Tamarillo, so yum. I also ordered the pull apart bread, was nice. Definitely keen to come back for dinner service one day. ❤️”
