Food establishment in New Zealand

“We found this place through the entertainment book and were amazed at everything about this cafe. We had the fried chicken and bao pork buns which were both of high quality with a perfect balance of the sweet sauce and buns with the pickled cucumber. They use La Mai coffee which is fair trade and supports the people of Thailand. The atmosphere is great with wicked artwork on the walls, plants and an indoor/outdoor flow.”

“I love going to the farm market on Sundays when I'm free. I always find new things like cheeses, salami, pastries, relish that are worth trying. There are also several fresh vegetable options at a good price. It's also a good place for coffee in the morning. I always leave with a bag full of healthy ingredients to consume during the week. An important tip is to bring cash. If you forget, you can exchange it there, paying a fee. Some sellers accept cards. There is also live music, which makes the atmosphere more pleasant. The market is inside a covered area and there is plenty of grass outside if you want to bring your pet. You can also find organic vegetables, options gluten free, plants, flowers, cheese, eggs...”

“Visited The Kirk Café in Hamilton and really enjoyed everything we tried — especially the sweet muffin, the pork & chorizo roll, and the samosa roll. You can tell the food is made fresh and with care. It is a little on the pricier side, but the quality definitely shines through. Cozy spot and tasty eats — worth a visit!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – Amazing service! Purchased an air cooler from Trade Depot using Afterpay in the evening and was honestly shocked at how fast it arrived - delivered early the next morning! The delivery driver was awesome too. He couldn’t access the original business address, but he contacted me and delivered it straight to my home shortly after. Super helpful, professional, and hassle-free. 10/10 service — highly recommend!”

“Cheffy cabinet food,= yumm. Lovely staff Mature and cultured, polite and conversationalistic = a treat Beverages made well. Barista coffees. Flavours real. Proper cafe quality unlike " other would be if they only could be on outskirts of town". Full marks replete. Thank you for serving us today”

“A nice cafe on the top of the gift shop. They have a wide variety on their menu for cold and hot food. There is also a wide selection of cold and hot beverages including juices, sodas, beer, and Coffee. There is ample dining space inside the cafe with both indoors and semi outdoors options. Their staff are really nice and the service is also fast. The prices are relatively normal given how touristy this site is. This is a great spot to grab a meal or drink either before or after your tour. Since the spot is pretty much half an hour away from any decent restaurant in the area, so it’s good to grab a bite. The parking is free in the main parking lot and there is no time limit. Moreover, there is free WiFi in the restaurant. The menu has vegetarian options, while you can check with the staff for your dietary restrictions. The cafe however is not wheelchair accessible since it’s on the first floor of a wooden building accessible by stairs only. The menu has various kid-friendly items as well.”

“Great coffee and desserts, worth a try when you pass paeroa”

“One of my lunch faves! My go to is Roast pork belly noodle salad and a mixed combo Bahn mi which has lemongrass beef/chicken and pork belly (sorry didnt take a photo before i ate it). Sooooo yummy! Delicious Vietnamese flavors through all their dishes, have never been disppointed here and i eat here once sometimes twice a month. Ordered the prawn fresh paper rolls which came with a yummy peanut sauce. Food came out quick, staff are friendly and service is awesome. Don't normally have to book but it was busy today at lunch. Prices are reasonable too! Highly recommend!”

“Everything was absolutely delicious, the naan was just perfect and their meat to curry ratio was perfect unlike some other places that I’ve noticed are a bit stingy on their meats.”

“Can’t go wrong with Robert Harris, you always get a consistent feed. Got the salmon eggs bene and it had a really decent amount of salmon which is rare. The salmon roulade was great and the chips. Coffee is always good. Staff were friendly too.”

“The food was delicious, full of authentic flavors and cooked perfectly. Every dish we tried was fresh and well-balanced with spices. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and made great recommendations. Excellent service and tasty food – highly recommended!”

“As I walked past, I noticed my 2 mates eating in here. I pulled up and went in. Bar had a nice friendly atmosphere and a nice layout with an authentic feel. I order the pork belly hotpot and it was top both. Was so hot(heat) that I felt it had been in a nuclear reactor for a short time but once it had cooled down I could enjoy the full flavours of the dish. The pork belly was delicious and the soup was great too. Plenty of noodles and other well cooked veg. 100% will eat here again. Extremely well priced dishes for the portion sizes. . Highly recommended.”

“We took our hybrid in to get the drivers door window fixed. It was super easy to get it checked, they found the issues and communicated options and costs with us and fixed it quickly with no problems. We also asked to get a WOF done at the last minute and they took care of it very quickly. Great service and price, we will definitely go back.”

“Omg, wow!! Honestly the freshest and cooked to perfection, snapper and chips I've ever had, lovely customer service definitely HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Fantastic!!!”

“Winner Winner is home to the best chicken I have ever tasted. The white bbq chicken and bacon burger is the most indulgent and rich burger that is worth skipping some meals to not feel so guilty for eating.
