Restaurants in New Zealand

“The molten chocolate was an absolute delight warm, rich, and perfectly paired with creamy vanilla ice cream. The fresh strawberries and pistachio crumbs added a lovely balance of flavour and texture. Having this dessert in the beautiful surroundings of Mission Bay made it even more enjoyable. A moment where good food and a beautiful place came together perfectly.”

“Below review written by a 14 year old that I mentor: Have you ever wanted to go to an American Diner? But you can't because you're in New Zealand? Well you're in luck! Bald Eagle Diner has the best food known to Mission Bay! With their cheesy burgers filled with flavour and their crunchy onion rings. The prices are great! And the drinks were phenomenal, their freak shake was my favorite!”

“Good place to see planes taking off. kids can have fun here.”

“Had a few dishes. Food and service was good. 3rd time there. Quite consistent.”

“I've tried different types of burgers from different shops in Auckland , but today I tried one of their beef burgers(i dont actually remember the name), that was juicy which I liked the most. All of their employees were very friendly and humble, especially thanks to this man for suggesting that particular burger. highly recommend this shop to others”

“The food is cheap and high quality with friendly customer service. Personally their coffee is a must buy - I definitely recommend 10/10”

“Loved that we landed here today for lunch. Food was delicious, only wish we were more hungry, would have chosen off the menu. What we saw coming out of the kitchen was beautifully presented and lots on the plates. The young serving team were sooo confident and welcoming, such a joy to be among. Also to their credit my, actual up to date L&L magazines. Coming back again. Thank you.”

“Kind exceptional service by staff and taste is too good we tried spicy veg meal. Chicking always our favourite one. Highly recommend”

“Exceptionally fast service and sensational food. Great atmosphere with fantastic music. Highly recommend pairing the $25 lunch special with one of their delicious Frida’s Margaritas. Use the Love Mexico app to redeem free totopos with your meal.”

“Good place to watch the rugby. Food is generally good but not amazing. Jalapeno poppers are great. Service is average, most of the time I had to call someone to serve us.”

“I have been to this venue twice now. On the most recent visit I had the Thunder burger. I like the atmosphere and the low-key concerts they host. The staff are friendly and efficient. I will continue to attend the concerts and enjoy the food at this cafe'.”

“Delicious French pastry treats, pies, salads, and cafe items. An amazing range of French inspired sweets and a cabinet of savoury rolls and panini that the staff will toast for you. A small selection of salads. Good coffee.”

“Perfect for an overnight transit stay. The price was reasonable for the room and shared bathroom. Loved the artwork outside, can't miss the building. The owner/manager was extremely helpful.”

“Went in for a coffee and got served by the small red haired girl. Super lovely girl made our experience enjoyable and made an awesome coffee! Looking forward to returning and getting the same level of customer service again.”

“I was visiting from Canada earlier in 2025 & met 2 gals, Jan and Jill at Cafe 180 Degrees. They were enjoying what seemed like a lovely breakfast. We chatted a bit from our tables & they invited me over. I loved the coffee and the egg dish which I ordered. Jan & Jill & I, then met once a week at Cafe & Bistro 180. I highly recommend the food there (loved the fish and Chips!) & will re-visit the Cafe the next time that I travel to N.Z. Sylvia”

“Great value, service is always faster than I expect, honest and tasty! Haven't tried their pizzas yet, but the coffee and bagels are great.”

“Our favourite place to eat, and we often travel from the Wairarapa just for Tequila Joes!!! Highly recommend the buffalo wings, with the classic buffalo sauce, plus Chipotle beef for main. Awesome selection of drinks, great music, love the staff.”

“Its actually my 3rd time. Their food is consistent when it comes to taste and serving,. You can also get free nachos by downloading the Mexico apps. Super delicious food. Will definitely come back here for moreeee”

“Excellent, right on the water front, so spacious! Staff and food 10/10 loved it!!”

“Directly opposite Parliament, funny caricature statues, yummy food and nice staff.”

“We regularly come here with the kids, extended family and friends! We love the outdoor but undercover section. It’s warm even on a cold day! We so appreciate the kids area and try to book a table near it! The staff are always friendly, quick and efficient! We have several food allergies with the kiddos and it’s never been a problem here! Kids love it! The only negative is that there is not a dairy free option for kids dessert eg only soft serve. Would be fabulous to have another option even ice blocks.”

“Overall very nice, as advertised. Cleaning is performed regularly and thoroughly. Quite close to the motorway and windows are single glazed so the noise is quite noticeable. Rooms are nicely furnished, Rooms are a little dated. Enjoyed my stay overall!”

“Went in on a cold Wednesday for some lunch and had the loaded hash bites. SOOOO good. Me and my boyfriend were raving about it on the walk home. 15.90 I think is very affordable for wagu brisket on hash bites. The meat was tender and the sauces were delicious. Very good customer service too. Very friendly and kind. Definitely would eat here again!”

“Good Sub. Staff was very quick and attentive.”

“We came in as a group of three, and it was just us here. The lady who greeted us had a lovely smile and was friendly. The food was very nice, sauce options very good- food can be a bit lacking but it does the job if you just want a simple meal. The bread that comes table side was very yummy. I loved the theming, wasn’t too loud. Felt very fancy in comparison to Auckland’s Genghis Khan. Thank you for your service! ❤️”

“Had brunch there for the first time and loved it. For those who aren’t aware, it used to be called Mayfair theatre in the 1900s and you’ll be able to catch some of its history in the cafe. We had the Breakfast Special and it was perfect and a bonus to it was a well brewed coffee. Service was excellent and we exchanged a few chats along the way. The fireplace kept the cafe warm and toasty but not too heated. Lots of street parking available which adds to the convenience. This place also does discounts on the Entertainment Book or First Table bookings.”

“I hadn’t eaten from here for years and we didn’t rate it years ago. But I think they have new owners and thought we would try again. It was great! Really nice Hawaiian and cheese pizza and chips. Will definitely be back, and very affordable”

“We hosted our son's day for dinner for 25 people in our group, and it was beautiful. The service and food were amazing. Fast and very affordable, my whole family enjoyed their time along with the naughty kids. Sorry about the kids running around during dinner. Would highly recommend Taste Amazing for anyone looking to host a birthday party, or wedding simple lunch or dinner or whatever you like these guys are the best.”
