Restaurant in New Zealand

“Finally found our new coffee place since moving to Taradale. If you are after a nice coffee and a snack, this is 100% the place to go. Great staff were very welcoming and attentive, had a cappuccino and Apple and Blueberry Muffin (best blueberry Muffin I've had in Hawkes Bay) to share with my partner in the nearby park. Looking forward to our new weekend ritual.”

“What a fantastic show-Pricilla Queen of the desert - cast and production were top notch and the enthusiasm and energy put forward was great. Please look at either 1. Replacing the seating or 2. having them re-foamed/covered..they really were v. Uncomfortable. The seats are well past their use by date !”

“The Town Belt is part of Dunedin's Great Heritage -worth a wee tickytour along our town belt.”

“Comfortable room with a balcony overlooking the sea. I slept like a log to the sound of the waves and woke up to an amazing view. Recommended.”

“Took my moko there. Love the ambience and enjoyed the movie. Although when purchasing tickets, would be good if we could see how long the movie is. I wasn't expecting Jurassic Park to be so long.”

“22/04. Love this place, the cabinet food is delish. Perfect setting on a sunny day. 24/08. Back again because it really is our favourite Dunedin spot”

The kitchen at Pizza Bar takes a pizza-first path and lets the food speak. Salsas lift the plates without overpowering. Plates offer plenty without tipping heavy. Team members keep things friendly and on task.

“Good selection of beer and spirits. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Definately worth a visit.”

“We only stayed one night, were wishing we had booked for longer! Was a neat tidy unit, heater was on when we got there which was nice......we were late with our arrival and they couldn't have been more understanding. Rural location, really quiet, no light coming into room at night and pet friendly!! Cutest receptionist ever, thank you Mr Darcy. Would happily go back and recommend.”

“Genuinely amazing sushi. So fresh tasty and good price for sushi in 2025!”

“Fresh tasty beef Pho, the squid is so good & the fresh spring rolls are yummy 10/10 cannot stop ordering from here”

“Really good burger joint for late night meals”

“What an awesome spot! Jose’s Cantinas brings back a lot of memories of living in SoCal, where we would go to Taco Tuesday spots religiously. Really cool setup/atmosphere, super friendly staff and a fantastic range of Mexican food options. The perfect spot for a jovial weeknight. Thanks Jose, love your work!

“I love this place. It's been a few years since I stayed, and wow! The refurbishment of the rooms are incredible. It's the cleanest newest tastefully designed decor I have experienced in a long time.”

“I can't believe I haven't been here before as I live just down the road. Last time I was in here it was still Conch Records... Ate there for the first time with a friend who works in hospo and we were both super impressed with the tacos. Good craft beer, lots of options and (for Ponsonby) not too devastatingly expensive. Will definitely be back.”

“I am definitely saving this on my restaurant list because every single piece of what we had was amazing. The staff were really nice and helpful from explaining the menu, each dish, how their smoking system works, and offering to open some of the blinds to cool our seating area down. Do expect to leave with quite a large bill, but that's the standard price to pay for good bbq around here.”

“Lunch special sooo good at Khu Khu ....just order one of everything”

“Such a nice atmosphere - feels like something straight out of Europe. We definitely don’t have many places like this in NZ. Food was amazing, so much flavour and everyone who served us was so friendly and kind. We will 100% be back and will recommend this to all our friends and family.”

“Delicious, classic eggs bene, perfectly cooked. Great coffee and super friendly staff. Recommend.”

“Amazing restaurant, totally recommend! I came to this restaurant earlier this year and oh my was it amazing! First of all the atmosphere is very clean and well cared for, and the staff were very polite and good at their job. The food tasted amazing, especially the syrup chicken! The pasta also tasted great. The only complaint I have is that the wait was too long for the food! Overall please give this restaurant a try, it's worth it!”

“This place is no longer Williams Eatery - it’s now Bowler! They offer a fantastic selection of bowls, letting you choose from chicken, beef, or salmon, with bases of either brown rice, salad, or a mix of both. There are plenty of healthy options to enjoy here. I visited Bowler with my colleagues to check out the new spot, and it didn’t disappoint. The experience was wonderful! The staff were friendly and personally called out our names from the counter when our bowls were ready. It got quite busy during lunchtime, but at $17.90 per bowl, the price felt reasonable and well worth it. So far, I’ve tried the Free-Range Chicken Bowl (No. 1) and the Mt. Cook Salmon Bowl (No. 4). Both were absolutely delicious! The brown rice base is perfect if you’re looking for a more filling meal. The bowls focus on highlighting the natural flavours of the ingredients, with no heavy sauces - just fresh, wholesome goodness. I enjoyed Williams, and now I am loving Bowler too. I’ll definitely be coming here more often for lunch. Highly recommended!”

“Great place to relax & catch-up with friends or for a quick stop to grab some lunch on the run. Great variety of food options.”

“just tried the new special, Egg Benedict on Cheese Scone!!! The flavour was so good and the price was fair. The music was so relaxing as well and made me stay here for way longer than i expected. Workers were also really funny and nice to talk to! Definitely recommend”

“Very yummy and fresh vegan tofu noodles. Lots of flavour and portion was generous.”

“Had a delicious breakfast here yesterday! I am fairly boring, I always get the eggs on toast. The had a big beautiful menu of loads of different things, as well as cabinet food. The staff were super friendly and welcoming I could see they are a local favorite. Great outdoor street seating as well as loads inside. Would highly recommend :) Jess, Hospitality Specialist Kakapo Business Sales”

“I really rate this cafe. Epic coffee at a good price and the owner was really friendly. Thank you kind sir! Hamish Dorrington Kakapo Business Sales”

“I stopped by this cafe and ordered the chicken burger along with a hot chocolate, and both were excellent! The burger was fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked - really hearty without being too heavy. The service was warm and friendly, and the overall atmosphere made it a really enjoyable visit. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to others!”

“Quiet little coffee shop with yummy breakfast food and sandwiches. We had French toast with banana and the apple crepe! Also enjoyed the flat white and a berry banana smoothie with a carrot cake to go!”
