French restaurant in Hamilton

“Decidedly busy. That did not make any difference to the level of service I received. Absolutely A1!!! Since I have difficulty with the automated ordering system I wasn't able to make the change I wanted. The gentleman at the counter up sized my coffee (as requested) and even gave me a discount for bringing my own cup. Awesome!!!”

“We were treated to a beautiful authentic French four course dinner last week and it was simply superb! We often visit for lunch, and every time we are greeted with wonderful service and even better food - this dinner was something extra special though! Merry Christmas and we'll see you again soon!”

“We had their lamb kebab and chicken kebab combo deal. It was certainly value for money. The meats and veggies had the right proportion. We particularly appreciated their veggies as they were carefully prepared and seasoned. Highly recommended!”

“We recently hired Sawadee as one of our catering vendors for our wedding and I can hands down say that was the BEST pad thai I have ever tasted. The guests loved it with a lot of our friends and family still talking about the food to this day! The service was exceptional and I would definitely recommend Sawadee food trucks to anyone wanting a fun, tasty and friendly vendor at their next event. Thank you for making our special day even more magical!”

“Loveeeee the food here very much!! In our 2 weeks here in north NZ, we visited this outlet several times! The food really authentic. Our personal favourite : butter chicken, the beriyani ( chicken and lamb, both are excellent!) and of course the masala tea! Hats off to the chef!!!! Highly recommended for lunch and dinner!”

“This place was delicious. Very quick and convenient and great service. They have a separate vegan menu and I got the tofu bulgogi which was so good.”

“I have been wanting to try this place for some time now on my work visits down from Auckland. Glad I finally did, new fav Hamilton restaurant! Service was outstanding, food was absolutely delicious. I had the Turkish meatballs as per wait staff recommendation (I would not normally order this dish first up) and I did not regret it. Portion size was not huge (which I prefer) so room for desert and the baklava and tahini ice cream did not disappoint. You can tell there are some generational recipes being passed down here. Yum!”

“Ordered the chilli scram and it was really good! The spring onions and chillis were a great addition, and added depth and flavour to the dish. The scrambled eggs themselves were velvety and delicious, and the sourdough underneath was buttered and toasted to perfection. The rest of the table seemed to really enjoy their meals as well! The atmosphere here is lively but not too loud, so none of us struggled to have conversations and hear one another. Overall, a great experience and we'll be back :)”

“I took a group of 8 ladies to Alpino on Saturday for a Luxe Day Out for my business Her Luxe Travel and we had a phenomenal time. Not only were Alpino great to work with to set up how I wanted the experience, on the day they delivered 110%. The food was to die for, service was friendly and efficient. We were sat in the area at the front that is somewhat closed off from the rest of the restaurant and it couldn't have been more perfect. Definitely glad I've chosen Alpino for my Retreat welcome lunches ☺️”

“The kebabs were fresh, flavourful, and generously filled. The man that served us was friendly and service was very quick. Good portion sizes (photo was taken after eating majority already) and decent prices. Will definitely be back again if we pass through.”

“Absolutely fantastic restaurant! We've dined here a few times and the staff have always been very attentive, friendly and accommodating. The set menus come with a good variety of starters and mains, and everyone loved what was offered. The restaurant is also split into three dinning areas, so you have a choice of sitting outside or in a more cosy booth. Very popular restaurant, so strongly recommend booking ahead to secure a table.”

“Lookout Bar has a great vibe – awesome views, friendly staff, and solid food. The smoked pizza was seriously good – crispy base, great flavour, and that smoky touch really makes it stand out. Seafood was super fresh, especially the prawns and calamari – cooked just right. Only downside was the sauce on a couple of dishes – felt a bit heavy and overpowered the natural flavours. Would’ve been perfect with just a lighter touch. Still, a great place to relax with a drink and enjoy the view. Worth a visit, especially if you’re into bold flavours and casual coastal dining.”

“Could not fault the waitstaff or food. The team were knowledgeable and talented in their execution of service. Plates were flavorful, spicy dishes were not overly hot, portions were suitable for sharing, and standard serves of 3 pieces could be made 4 to match our table number. A standout was the cocktail menu, with combinations I’ve not seen before leaving me wondering how to choose 2 when I really wanted to try 4. The space is flexible with indoor, outdoor and standing areas, but book outdoors if the weather is good and the temperature is warm. Would recommend and would dine there again. Thanks for having us.”

“Outstanding food! The Wontons are my crack. The sweet and sour Chicken is my lover. The burgers here are also really good, and they have outstanding Thickshakes! This is one of only two fish and chip shops in Hamilton, I like and recommend! These guys are a neighbourhood gem and are criminally underrated. The fish is fresh and flaky, the salt ratio is perfect and they have so many options, that you'll never get bored either! I felt like everything, so I had a UK style Cheeky Chinese, with sweet and sour, crunchy chips, Wontons and a sneaky piece of fish. My lord. What a spot smasher!”
