Latest from Restaurant Reviews

<i>Landreth & Co</i>, Ponsonby

We came here because sometimes you don't want to risk an average brunch somewhere untried. So we decided on a sure thing.

<i>Ebisu</i>, Auckland CBD

A new Britomart eatery offers exquisite Japanese cuisine.

<i>Pastis</i>, Auckland CBD

This character restaurant only improves with age.

<i>Northcote Tavern</i>, Northcote

Kitchen, Auckland CBD

At an Argentinian asado restaurant one of my mates ordered chicken for entrée and main.

<i>Two Fifteen Bar and Bistro</i>, Mt Eden

The décor might not score high on style but the attention to detail on the menu does.

<i>The Falls</i>, Henderson

We came here because a friend lives nearby and recommended this cafe, housed in a beautifully restored hotel that was built in 1854.

<i>Pinot Plus</i>, Takapuna

We had scarcely taken our seats at this small and well-reviewed Takapuna eatery before owner John Ingle was beside us.

<i>The Foodstore</i>, Viaduct Harbour

Its chefs are televised but this Viaduct eatery is more than just a gimmick.

<i>Bill Fish Cafe</i>, Westhaven

Fish is the name of the game at a waterfront eatery where the menu, though simple, proves well done.

Every summer for 10 years I have spent a week with a bunch of about 100 men in a bush camp up north.

<i>The Food Room</i>, Ponsonby

An authentic eatery in Glen Innes encourages adventurous dining.

<i>The Mulberry Bar and Restaurant</i>, Mt Eden

There's no beating round the bush, Mt Eden’s Mulberry has its recipe right.

<i>Arun's restaurant & bar</i>, Karangahape Rd

Heaven help us. Now it's Indian tapas. It doesn't say so on the menu, but Arun's website promises "a modern Indian experience ... ranging from flavoursome curries, succulent flavours of the tandoori and a mouth-watering tapas selection".

<i>Jambalaya Southern Kitchen</i>, Whangaparaoa

A US-style eatery in Manly delivers the flavours of the southern states, but needs work in other areas of the dining experience.

A meal at a restaurant on an olive estate offers a mixed bag of serving sizes and quality.
