Food establishment in New Zealand

“Was in Wellington recently for work. This was our place for breakfast, the food was consistently excellent (especially the eggs benedict without spinach), the coffee was superb and the service excellent. The house manager in the morning (from England) super friendly and the wait staff lovely too. Thank you”

“Came for a meeting and destroyed a coffee.. it was so strong it knocked me over chair and all.. onlookers gawked and children cried but I was OK. The cheese scones are apparently amazing, although I don't know how far the dollar stretches as my food was shouted for me.. give it a go, give it a review and improve on this review. Try the coffee it was nom.. peace”

“The local cafe in Wadestown and they do a lovely selection of drinks and food. Highly recommend their chai latte! ☕️”

“Our waiter was awesome! Amazing Service thank you! Food came out fast, we tried the WBOP meal. Solid burger great flavour, fresh ingredients and enjoyed the tots on the side as a change from fries, dipping sauce was tasty. Overall a great night out, worth the trip from the Hutt Valley”

“Busy cafe, good food and service”

“Lovely coffee with a calm atmosphere and plenty of seating”

“Excellent place to shop, gets a little busy after work but aisles are spacious enough to keep a comfortable shopping experience. I like the hot food section - it saves me from those "don't feel like cooking" nights. Staff are nice and helpful. It's place in the middle of Tawa high street just makes it more attractive to visits.”

“Everything you need (& more) in a modest-sized, well-organised store. Efficient, friendly staff and good quality products.”

“I use the delivery option...the personal shoppers are always very good at substituting items that are out of stock and also when there's free samples, they're good at making judgements and choosing based on the rest of my shopping. The delivery people are very nice too, my dog yells at them but they calm her down by chatting to her through the door. Using the delivery saver is cheaper than it would be for me to travel there and I don't have to carry anything up/down stairs or hills”

“Great 4 square with a good range of stuff that is better than the average dairy. Lots of sweets and ice cream!”

“New World is very close to my house and the best place to go shopping to. It has food for years, has food for anything you’re looking to get. They have a good service, very easy shopping with the staff and clearly marked aisles. They have kind chatty staff and the staff can easily help you find what you’re looking for. They never run out of stock, so if what you’re looking for isn’t there, ask staff to get it. New World is definitely one of the greatest shopping markets in NZ.”

“Friendly staff well stocked, and stuff are on specials. Thanks for the good experience”

“Great prices,Friendly staff.Great selection.”

“Incredible service. Came in late after a shift and one of the kind gentlemen helped carry things to the car. Friendly but also gave you space to shop.”

“Just finished up a lovely night with the girls celebrating one of our friend's birthdays. We were served and looked after by the wonderful staff Rob. Want to say we were so impressed by his customer service, he went above and beyond and made our night a core memory. thank you Rob and staff for a wonderful night will be back next month!”

“Great dinner out for my parents 50th wedding anniversary. Everyone really enjoyed it, and the service was excellent”

“Oh wow, I’ve couldn’t asked for more… The food blew my expectations with a mix of both gourmet and the pub grub that comforts the belly. Ordering was a breeze (thanks Rosie!!) the food arrived faster than my typical “fast food” visit, and the atmosphere at the quiz was like I was playing The Chase with Bradley Walsh. I’m making this my regular - Thanks Realm Team!”

“Beautiful pub with a good selection of beer and wine. Some specific NZ branded beer as well. I liked the ambience, the staff were very friendly and greeted with a smile. I will definitely recommend this place. Gorgeous wait staff as well ;) The portion of snack is perfect for a person as well.”

“Love this place, it is most definitely THE BEST address in Island Bay ! Staff is so friendly and lovely, the garden bar is a really cool spot to hang out on a nice day (and dog friendly !) and the gorilla burgers are really yummy. Fantastic experience, I will absolutely be back and highly recommend !”

“Great selection of groceries to products of mouth watering items. Worth having a browse around and asking the staff if you want to know any ingredients on the packaging in different languages. Every time I enter to grab one item, I end up using the basket to buy more new Asian goodies to try.”

“Stopped here recently for a Quick brunch on a Saturday morning and I was blown away for more than one reason - courteous staff, quick service, great indoor and outdoor ambience and most importantly tasty food. Walked in- immediately greeted and seated. Ordered sourdough bread with spicy scrambled eggs and coffee. Initial thoughts - pricey. But when the order came through, I must admit it was worth every penny. It was a visual treat and tasted amazing. A humble dish elevated to a whole new level and generous portions. Needless to say - I literally cleaned up my plate. Will definitely come back. Highly recommend this place.”

“good range of food- cold salad to hot chinese and desserts. Very good service, very kind. Oyster is very large and fresh, they also have tabasco sauce to go with, limit 6 per adult. steam prawn is also very fresh, limit 12 per adult. Mussels has topped with capers. Cripspy pork was bery cripsy and my daughter loves noodle. Tiramisu dessert was so good for me. Kids loved ice cream station.”

“Great rooftop bar on Lambton Quay (upstairs) We went for lunch, sat out on the balcony and ordered the Korean fried chicken, skin on fries and club sandwiches. The service was fast and friendly, the food was delicious and the balcony had a great view of Lambton Quay.”

“This is a lovely place where to sit, enjoy a cuppa, and even get some work done. I love their modest but delicious GF options and their music selection is on point. Running into a friendly 4 legged patron from time to time is bonus that brings extra joy to my day.”

“I recently visited Cafe Figg with my family and had an absolutely delightful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a charming ambiance. The croissant was flaky and buttery, the filo was perfectly crisp, the panini was filled with flavorful ingredients, and the corn fritters were a delicious twist on a classic dish. Each item was prepared with care and attention to detail. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend Cafe Figg to anyone looking for delicious food and top-notch service. Five stars all around!”

“We have been to this cafe so many times. I love the outdoors, it has nice area outside where you can sit and enjoy your drinks and meals. I always feel this place is a bit pricey but still like the vibe of the cafe. Service is okay, there are times when we have to request staff to clean table. Other than that staff are always polite and helpful. I enjoy their milkshakes, coffees are okay.”

“Had the 8-course tasting dinner with wine pairing and it was such a great experience. Every dish was packed with flavour and looked amazing on the plate — you could tell a lot of thought went into the menu. Some combinations really surprised me, like the beetroot carpaccio with macadamia crusted feta, and the smoked eel with caviar — so good! The wines were perfectly matched to each course, starting with a crisp Champagne and ending with a bold Pinotage. It really brought out the flavours of the food. Service was spot on — the team were friendly, easy to talk to, and kept the evening feeling relaxed but still special. We never felt rushed, and everything flowed nicely from one course to the next. Left feeling full, happy, and impressed. Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys great food, wine, and a memorable night out.”

“Normally stopping for a cup of coffee here but today I tried their meal. Since I eat keto, I ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and mushrooms without toast for $20(May 2022) Happy with the amount of food. Great service, friendly staff.”

“great food, super good value for money too, big portions. food tastes great. staff friendly. like that it's spacious and it's quite big so plenty of room.”

“If I could rate Palace Cafe higher, I would. There are three stand out things here. First, is the truly home made cabinet food. It's so wonderful to go somewhere and not see the same old bulk supply slices and biscuits. This is food with real flavour. Second is the delicious, generous and very reasonably priced meals. You won't walk away hungry or broke. And then the most valuable thing of all is the service. Here, there are genuine smiles and welcoming words that make you want to return just to experience the hospitality again.”
