Pub in Auckland

“Thanks to the legends at Morningside Tavern. Me and two other mates held a shared birthday event with apx 55 people and it couldn't have gone better. Despite some initial miscommunication (from us), the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. Food and service was excellent, venue is stunning. I highly recommend this venue to anyone wanting to host a function. (very reasonable minimum spend also). Thanks team!”

“Great selection of fresh delicious beer. Burgers very impressive. The loaded waffle fries were great, but did have a sweetness and a slight cinnamon spice. Was a little unusual but still good.”

“Great vibe. Right by the marina so good views outside. Staff were run off their feet with work Xmas party’s but they were fantastic. Steak eye fillet was really good. Generous portions and good value. Will go again for sure.”

“We recently went to Goodie Brothers in Botany and had such a great time that it deserves a proper shout-out. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and lively, with a nice mix of modern décor and a relaxed, casual vibe that makes you want to stay a while. We started with the margarita pizza, which came out with a beautiful golden crust that had the perfect crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy bite inside. The tomato sauce tasted fresh and vibrant, and the mozzarella was melted evenly across the base with just the right balance of cheese and herbs so it wasn’t too heavy but still full of flavor. The fettuccine pasta followed and was just as impressive, with perfectly cooked al dente noodles coated in a creamy, well-seasoned sauce that felt indulgent without being overly rich, and the portion size was generous enough to share or enjoy on its own as a main. For dessert, we couldn’t resist the tiramisu, which ended up being one of the highlights of the night — light, airy layers of sponge soaked with just enough coffee, topped with creamy mascarpone and a dusting of cocoa that tied everything together beautifully. Alongside all this, we had a few drinks that were made well and complemented the food nicely, and throughout the evening the staff were attentive, friendly, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone was enjoying themselves. It’s clear the team takes pride in both their food and service, which really makes a difference. Goodie Brothers feels like the kind of place where you can go for a casual catch-up with friends, a relaxed date night, or even just to treat yourself to a good meal, and leave satisfied every time. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a spot in Botany with great food, good drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere.”

“Great, chilled out spot for a catch-up and a few brews with mates on a Saturday afternoon without having to get too dressed up…”

“The mocktail is so good! Good place, great service plus free wifi!”

“Absolutely Beautiful Restaurant and Bar, Excellent service, spectacular view of the Park and Sky Tower. Atmosphere was superb and our Dinner was exceptional. Thank you to all the Wait Staff and the Chef for a great evening out”

“Probably the best airport meal I’ve had anywhere. It’s genuine cafe / restaurant quality. Excellent coffee, and a nice burger and smoothie too. Thanks to Cecilia for her friendly service!”

“cute little local pub this was our stop from auckland to hamilton (recommended stop for road-trip) food was nice staff was really friendly they have a wide range option for whiskey and a decent option for tap beers (especially for ipa lovers)”

“Queenies has a lovely cozy energy, staff were kind and welcoming, and the prawn spaghetti had the perfect kick for a cold winter’s afternoon. My friends and I are already planning our next brunch date there, thank you!”

“Best café with great prices for their food! I love that they use garlic pita bread, and their unique sauce-on-sauce combo really sets them apart from other kebab shops. Definitely recommend!”

“We drive past this place almost on a daily and finally had a chance to visit tonight. My wife and I had the most amazing evening at Blue Ox Babe Pukekohe. From the moment we walked in, the staff were exceptional hosts and welcoming. The food was pure magic!! Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Thank you Blue Ox Babe.”

“Little Jimmy exceeded expectations. It was pretty busy on a Saturday lunchtime but it was surprisingly quiet and comfortable. Service was friendly and extremely quick. Great menu, and the food was lovely. I ordered the chicken schnitzel and couldn't fault any aspect of it. Good wine list and excellent coffee.”

“Had lunch here over the weekend with our two little boys, the staff are so friendly, went out of their way to help us move when it started raining and super friendly to us and our boys. The food is amazing too! The Korean chicken was our fave. Highly recommend this place has the perks of being in the city without the hustle and bustle of pedestrians walking past.”

“Amazing customer service for our small group today & the food was fresh, plenty of & super delicious. We were so pleased to find a lovely airy cafe in this heat, where we could talk and have plenty of space to enjoy it all. We will be back.”

“I love this place! I was in Auckland for a 3 week time period and visited this restaurant on three different occasions. The staff is nice and the food comes to the table in a timely manner. The yogurt soju cocktail is a great option to share with friends. The King's Katsu menu item was my personal favorite and is great with either sauce option. It is also in a very good location in the CBD of Auckland and offers a place to eat during a day of exploring the city. Highly recommend it.”

“Very impressive food, fresh and great tasting, good size portions.. Really nice owners that take care of you No complaints”

“High streets best kept secret! Visit on a sunny day for a beautiful outdoor escape or a rainy one for a cozy coffee (the heaters / cover work wonders). Coffee and service is always 10/10, and the Bacon Benedict is always hits the spot. Love that they also support local businesses as well. Definitely visit if you’re looking for a cheap and cheerful brunch spot in the CBD.”

“Picked up a Cashew Chicken Noodle, a Sweet and Sour chicken with rice, a yellow curry with rice and some Spring Rolls for my family up from Dunedin today at WoknNoodle Mt Eden. They absolutely loved it. It fed 5 of us for lunch! Thanks Lee, your food always hits the spot!”

“Great food, service and atmosphere early Friday evening. Happy hour drinks are great value. Not been here for some time but will definitely be going again”

The kitchen at Gastronomics Restaurant Cafe & Bar takes a simple, bistro‑style path and lets the food speak. A sensible spend for the spread. Service stays present without fuss. Meals reach the pass promptly.

“The food was fantastic when we had our dinner here tonight! Great quality and quantity! And the staff were all very friendly! Thank you for a wonderful meal!! Would definitely recommend this restaurant. And it is family friendly :)”

“Absolute gem. Happened to be in the area and needed a quick bite. The food is well prepared and tasty. Service is prompt and friendly. Definitely will be coming back when we're in the area.”

“Tasty Cafe & Bakery in Avondale is a popular eatery that I've often visited in the last few years. The overall impression I get is that this is a great place to buy food from or dine in with family and friends. The array of pies the bakery creates is unique and never disappoints! I went for the new Cambodian fish curry pie and hot chips and it was a great combo! The pie pastry is always on point, the curry flavour infused with lemongrass (I think) is unique and flavoursome and the hoki fish melts in your mouth! Also the hot chips were crispy and tasty! Great pie and hot chips and I'll be back again for more!”

“Great course, decent facilities. Got everything you need in terms of food. Truly feels like a hidden gem!”

“Awesome food, we had the chicken stack and French toast both were well priced and super tasty. One of the best cafes on the shore. Awesome vegan and vege options and offer a discount if you bring your own cup for takeaways. Decor was slightly aged and could do with a bit of a tickle up but had a nice homely feel and staff were friendly. Will definitely be back.”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!

“I can't believe I haven't been here before as I live just down the road. Last time I was in here it was still Conch Records... Ate there for the first time with a friend who works in hospo and we were both super impressed with the tacos. Good craft beer, lots of options and (for Ponsonby) not too devastatingly expensive. Will definitely be back.”

“Six years on, and nothing else compares to this place. The ambiance remains exceptional, and the food is even better. With an extensive selection of wines and drinks to perfectly complement the meals, and authentic flavours that transport you straight to their roots, this spot truly stands out. Hats off to Sunil and the team for building such an outstanding experience.”

“I bought this bathure chole today at lunchtime, and I’m absolutely loving it! It’s super soft, cozy, and comfortable—perfect taste . Love it So Yum Best in north shore. I have tried everything but no comparison at all. So yummy and completely Indain style what I was looking for.”
