Food establishment in New Zealand

“Amazing, such a cosy, clean, nice place - great for the whole family. Good friendly service, nice n quick. Amazing food, so authentic, great tastes, everyone enjoyed - 12 of us. Highly recommended. Plenty of parking too”

“Excellent all around. Great service, food and price.”

“Recently I had the pleasure of organising a staff lunch at The Cav. All staff I dealt with were incredibly helpful and accommodating as we had a few unknowns leading up to the day, and everything went smoothly at their end. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Wonderful way for us to end the year. Definitely recommend if you're looking to have a function.”

“Service was lovely, ensured we have a big enough table to accommodate a baby, a pre schooler and 4 adults. Food was tasty and fresh, very well priced for the area.”

“The best breakfast and coffee I’ve had in a very long time! The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and offered great suggestions. The coffee was exceptional — smooth, rich, and perfectly brewed. The food was beautifully balanced, introducing fresh flavours I hadn’t tried before. Highly recommend this spot if you’re after something special to start your day!”

“Super friendly and attentive staff, they made us feel very welcome from the second we walked in. Really nice ambience and lots of space to move around and places to sit down. We visited on the steak special night, was great value for $29 including choice of 2 side dishes . Will definitely be back .”

“Accessible to students, has a good atmosphere with a pool table and small karaoke bar!”

“Fantastic Thai restaurant we stumbled upon as we were early for an event. The servings were generous, with perhaps a little too much meat (or so my fiance thought, though I thought it was perfect). They actually listened to us when we asked for it to be hot, as too often I get served "European hot" which is mild at best. The prices were also very low. Despite being 20 minutes drive from home, this will likely now be our go to place for Thai.”

“Dinned in a few times over my stay this week and everything was great! Perfect steak, crispiest potato’s, a fun spin on the classic devilled eggs, pork chop (excuse my mess) and even the room service Club sandwich was enormous! Washed down with a great wine list and good pick me up coffee in the morning.”

“5* for being epic sponsors of the Santa Run (and hosts afterwards) for a great cause and helping to raise $5700 for Hospice. Supplying all the Santa suits was awesome. Thank you. And the Santa Run event was hilarious - Cheers!”

“Our go to for a good pub burger, steak & fries and a cold one. Awesome karaoke & music in the background. A proper NZ pub for sure! Would highly recommend if your wanting a good pub feed.”

“Have lunch quite regularly here at Burgerfuel Westgate. Foods always good. Really impressed with a young staff member today, missed his name, but pretty identifiable with mullet and moustache lol. Great attitude and customer service, which sadly you don't get everyday in the hospitality industry - give him a pay rise! :)”

“Ordered a Baked Strawberry Cheesecake recently for a birthday party from Kneads and it was amazing! Communication with the ordering was quick and efficient, the cake was beautifully done as requested and everyone loved it. The fresh strawberries on top were definitely a bonus. They had a list of different options for cakes that can be made according to preference. Would definitely be ordering my Christmas cakes and birthday cakes from them again. Thanks! ☺️”

“My go to roast place. Would recommend the potato and gravy dish and the roast pork meal.”

“Its a lovely spot, I took a couple of customers there for lunch and was impressed with the food, service and atmosphere. Ill definitely be coming back. Thanks for a great experience. Your staff were great.”

“Consistency good food, and this guy serving the Katsu Bowls had that extra level of friendly service.”

“The very best pizza place around locally. I really look forward to a nice and hot Hawaiian pizza on the odd Sunday special. Loads of toppings and a crunchy base that is delicious. I usually buy a nice and cold can or two to go with it but I only drink one then. The place is kept clean and the service is as good as the pizzas. I highly recommend this little business and owners. Shop local and keep them going please! Cheers for everything and all your added generosity. I loved the garlic bread x 2 thanks :-) x,o”

“Took about 20 minutes to be prepared but well worth the wait, massive portion size, and delicious, amazing place”

“Bloody tasty bowl of ramen! The pork was melt-in-your-mouth good and the broth had heaps of flavour. Would happily come back for another”

“Great place great noodle. It's good to have other choices along Lincoln road.”

“Fantastic flavours!!! LOVED the spicy braised lamb noodle soup and really enjoyed the juicy fried pork dumplings! Yum - can’t wait to try more from their menu :) Really nice decor and friendly staff ⭐️”

“We hired out Wynyard Pavilion for a corporate end of year event and everything was amazing. The food, service and atmosphere were all great. A massive thanks to Oceane for her wonderful organisation and communication skills. She made all of the planning easy and painless which caused the event to be a huge success.”

“I’ve been here multiple times now, and every visit has been consistently great. The staff are absolutely amazing—genuinely no notes at all. They’re always friendly, quick, helpful, and understanding. On my most recent visit, one of the team was especially lovely and gave us two sauces when usually you’d only get one—such a small gesture, but it really stood out and added to the positive experience. The food here is delicious. No matter what I’ve ordered, it’s always been fresh, well-prepared, and really tasty. The chips, in particular, are always seasoned perfectly—crispy, golden, and full of flavour. One of the things I appreciate most is how fast the food comes out. Even during the busiest lunch rushes, I’ve never had to wait more than about 15 minutes. It’s clear the kitchen is efficient. Pricing is definitely something to note—it’s not that cheap. You’re looking at $20 or more for a proper meal, but I do think the quality and service make it worth it, especially given how reliable the whole experience is. All in all, it’s a place I’m happy to keep coming back to. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful team.”

“Mean place aye, brought da missus from aus here and watched da footy, loved it aye, good beer and atmosphere, much love Mangere bridge tavern”

“Reservation made for a birthday lunch on a Saturday around 30 people. Staff very helpful especially Jordan who could not do enough for us, nothing was too much trouble. Used their screen for photos (which my family had organised with the staff behind my back).Food excellent, everyone enjoyed the day. Would recommend the Village Bar and Grill for a birthday or family gathering”

“Excellent! This shop is impressed with attentive service, nice atmosphere, and delicious food. The appetizer and main course were standouts. Overall, it is recommended.”

“AMAZING FOOD. Such a beautiful place! Gorgeous lighting, big brick walls, so gorgeous. Smiling service. Definitely want to go back again! Great menu too, so hard to decide as it all sounds soo good! I had the holoumi salad with smoked salmon it was delicious!!”

“Breakfast here is genuinely excellent. It’s at the top-end price-wise but the quality is superb and the portions generous. I had the ‘big’ breakfast (mixed grill I think it was called?) and my fellow diner had the caponata and raved about it. I wish I photographed them before we started…. The service was also excellent. Highly recommended.”

“I went there to celebrate my mom’s birthday, and it was absolutely worth it. Spending time here was such a great experience. The food, the people, everything was fabulous. The seafood platter and feast were especially delicious, and the place has a really nice view. If you have a party coming up, I would definitely recommend this place!”

“Absolutely worth the drive from town. Feels like an overseas holiday. Delicious food and drink, helpful service. The kind of place you'd bring a friend from out of town. Will be back!”
