Auckland is teeming with exemplary eateries serving up both fine dining and casual fare and it’s hard to go wrong no matter where you pick. To make things easier on you, here are some of the most popular restaurants in town.
The French Café
Locals absolutely love The French Café thanks to its scrumptious food and immaculate presentation, all served for a really affordable price. It’s fine dining with almost diner-like prices and everything on the menu is a winner. Try the Peking duck if you desire a filling meal.
SidArt
It’ll cost you an arm and a leg to eat here, but you’ll gladly hand over your wallet after the first bite. SidArt offers beautiful presentation and an extensive wine menu for a romantic night out. Their discovery menu serves seven courses in addition to appetizers, so go in with an empty belly.
Little Bird Unbakery
The folks at Little Bird Unbakery managed to create a dessert heaven that appeals to absolutely everyone. They offer baked goods that cater to both vegans and vegetarians as well as the average eater and the cakes are to die for, so be sure to head in for a midday snack.
Clooney
Clooney has been a favorite among tourists since opening in 2006 and serving authentic yet unique Kiwi cuisine in a romantic atmosphere. It was once a derelict warehouse that was transformed into a picturesque dining hall. It’s the perfect place to take the significant other. You can’t go wrong with their boneless lamb.
Kazuya
Kazya is booked out weeks in advance and after one taste of their Japanese dishes, you’ll understand why. This quiet, unassuming little hamlet has a fresh take on Japanese fusion that’ll leave you in awe if you can stomach the cost. It ain’t cheap, but it sure is delicious.
