Bar pub in New Zealand

Napier RSA delivers a classic fish-and-chips offering that’s straight to the point. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Portions suit sharing without losing balance. A family‑friendly feel comes through naturally.

“Really good food, but very small portions for the price. Look, I don't mind paying a lot of money for good food, but giving an amazing bene with one piece of bread instead of two saves you $0.10 and takes away my full enjoyment of the meal. I would be posting a 5 star review if I just received two pieces of bread.”

Mosgiel Memorial RSA Club, Spitfire Restaurant and Diggers Tavern keeps things classic fish-and-chips and focused on flavour. Vegetarian picks read as complete plates. Value feels fair for the spread. Desserts close the meal with familiar comfort.

“Excellent local with a lot of fun events happening great crowd and owners”

“Absolutely delicious food and decent service. The food couldn’t have been better absolutely chefs kiss as always! Service was good though was a bit disappointed that when the waitress poured our water she spilt quite a bit over the table and said she’d be back to clean it up but never did so we ended up using a serviette. Atmosphere was nice. Overall a really good experience. Definitely recommend if you want good food! Just bear in mind that it is pricey”

“Was absolutely amazing. Greeted by friendly staff and taken straight to our table on a busy Saturday (we had booked and would probably recommend as was very busy) Companion had the kumara burger and it was delicious. I had the platter "for 2" which was phenomenal decent portion of each item and all were delicious. We then had desserts and they were very tasty. All the staff were very nice too. Will definitely be back!”

“I went to Caffe E Cucina for a tinder date (which went pretty well, I think she likes me!) for lunch, and had a great time. We ordered different kinda small plates from the prima section of the menu and shared those which worked well as we weren't super hungry. The service was good, and prices not toooo bad. The food was definitely the highlight (after the company) with everything cooked to perfection. Seared tuna blew my mind.”

“On Saturday night, we celebrated a friend’s first home purchase with dinner at Gina Restaurant. From drinks and entrées to mains and desserts, everything was absolutely delicious. Our waitress was wonderfully attentive, moving effortlessly between tables with a warm, contagious smile. Thanks to the entire Gina’s team, we enjoyed a truly joyful celebration. We’ll definitely be back!”

“Not our first time at Elmos, and once again it didn’t disappoint. We were lucky enough to catch the last round of truffle season ,the dishes were absolutely amazing. The service was 5-star, attentive and friendly throughout. The environment is cozy, surrounded by beautiful paintings and stylish décor.”

“Absolutely love the food here! I always get the quesadillas and eat it all up every time. The service was also great, the staff were attentive and fast. The interior is nice and clean, just in the day there are a lot of wasps inside especially in the sunny areas near the windows.”

“Last night, after dinner was done, we went on a wild goose chase to find the holy grail of coffee and dessert spots - and boy, did we hit the mother lode with this place! The coffee was off the charts and the apple crumble was so divine it should have its own fan club - the chef is a culinary rock god! We also fell head over heels for the staff's super friendly vibes, especially Pranav, who's probably the nicest human on the planet. We ended up coming back for breakfast today and it was totally worth it - we can't recommend this place enough and we're already counting down the days until our next visit!”

“If you haven't been to this cafe, then you're missing something very good in Beachhaven. I think it has new ownership and they deserve to survive. The coffee is great. It's Altura my husband's favourite. Lots of people were coming and going, which is good to see. The food could have been at any five-star establishment.”

“The Albany is the quintessential kiwi pub, but with next level food. I had the surf and turf on Turkish bread. The 200g scotch filet and real calamari, muscles and prawns melted in the mouth.”

“This is how a sports bar should be. Clean, and well-presented with no drama. It's part of the community and several local groups hold meeting there. There are raffles and a fishing club. Even free bread from the local bakery on occasion. The beer is very well priced and although the menu is none existent you can bring in food from other establishments.”

“Great place, loads of bars in browns bay but this one has a bit of character and the prices are the best around . Really nice friendly staff. Propa decent bit of food and portions are massive especially the hake and chips I think. If your just passing through I honestly recommend coming here for few beers and food.”

“Siobhan and Mikayla are such an asset to Mayfield. We were looked after so well. Our Mimosas made delicious! Joyful and professional- the team was so impressive with the way they bounced a disgruntled customer … he was so out of line. Well done ladies.”

“**Great food, relaxing vibe, and excellent service** We stopped by Florrie McGreal's Irish Pub in Takapuna and had a great experience. We ordered the buffalo wings (next time we'll go for the hot ones—these were mild but still tasty), shoestring fries, the pulled pork burger, and the beef brisket burger. Everything was fresh and satisfying, especially the burgers which were full of flavour. Special shoutout to Nelli for her fantastic service—she was attentive, friendly, and made us feel welcome. We sat outside, which was perfect for a chill afternoon, watching the world go by. Definitely a spot we’d come back to for a relaxed meal and good vibes.”

“Top notch customer service with very friendly team. We were served by Sophia who answered our queries about the menu and also was kind enough to take our photo. Its always a delight to come to Elephant Wrestler especially for big groups. They have plenty of space and kid-friendly atmosphere during lunch time. There’s a variety of food to choose from, always tasty, fresh and never dry. We enjoyed the pork belly and sirloin steak. Tiramisu is a must-have for dessert! We will definitely come back again.”

“Excellent food and service - a place I would return to on next trip to NZ”

“Love this place more than i love myself”

“Booked via First Table, so received 50% off meals, which made the value extremely good!”

“A little piece of Belgium right in the heart of Mt Eden village. Food is good and there are some days with specials at a very nice price (need to purchase a drink to get the deal though). Service is good and sometimes speak French! Yay! Can be very busy at times!”
