Fresh blue cod, not often seen in Auckland, is the star at a new Federal St venue.
Bluebells has become famous after opening its first sweet cakery in Hillsborough three years ago. This sister store is roomier and offers a wider variety of sweet and savoury treats.
Enter through a garage roller door off New North Rd into a room with a couple of scattered beanbags, and an inviting space for four-legged friends.
Spanish hams hang from hooks to add to the authentic feel of this central Auckland restaurant.
The professor says we eat too much meat. Since I'm the cook at our place, this is actually an instruction cleverly disguised as an idle observation.
Fort St is Auckland's latest food hotspot and Lucky Buddha is leading the charge.
The service was just right. Friendly, helpful and we didn't have to wait long for our meals.
The menu is comprehensive, with breakfast available from 8am-3pm from the self-pronounced "purveyors of all things yummy".
A newcomer to Remuera brings a soupcon of grunge with it to liven up the locals.
The Burbs is a delightful little space set in a nook of Farm Cove shops in Auckland's east.
The mere mention of South American food evokes thoughts of grilled beef. El Humero on the North Shore serves plenty of that and a side of family friendliness.
The menu is an all-day list of favourites and dishes with a twist.
Traditional menu matched by traditional virtues make for an excellent evening.
This is a place providing quality food with a character of its own at a very competitive price, well presented with competent service in a pleasing venue.
Smarter than your average local but would it kill them to take bookings?
A Royal Oak restaurant is bound to convert you to the flavours of Filipino cuisine.
The service was pleasant and amazingly fast for a busy Saturday morning.
It's very narrow inside so if you didn't know the other patrons upon arrival, you will soon be rubbing shoulders with them.
If you're in this part of town and feeling peckish, The Parlour is worth a visit.
This is the bar you would head to after uni for cheap, fruity drinks and some weird band you've never heard of.
It was the perfect place to enjoy a Bastille Day dinner - and hardly anyone knows it's there.
