If Thai’s Your Thing
There are a number of wonderful Thai diners and restaurants, all offering mouth-watering food, cooked to perfection by some of the best chefs.

From Jarn Lak to home-made pork crackling and a dazzling array of desserts, you will find yourself returning again and again.
Just Shooting The Breeze
One of the most down to earth, yet unearthly delights is The Blue Breeze Inn. Did you know it was Chinese? No, the name doesn’t give it away, and neither does the staff uniform of Hawaiian shirts! Your visit to The Blue Breeze Inn will be nothing short of exhilarating and the food on offer is very hard to find elsewhere. If you love chocolate, then don’t; forget to sample, the giant chocolate lava pot – heavenly!
A Trip To India
Cassia, Indian Restaurant, is perfect whether you want a quick business lunch to entertain or feed new clients, or you want to celebrate with friends over the most miraculous tasting Indian offering, Cassia has it all. They have a varied lunch menu, including Goan fish curry or perhaps you prefer paneer and goat’s cheese fritter. Maybe Delhi duck is more your preference. Hope your mouth is watering!
Let’s Go To The Mediterranean!
If you want to dine style in a wonderful olive grove, then why not let Auckland bus hire take you a little out of the city to the Bracu Restaurant situation in the stunning Bombay Hills? Once you have settled into the perfect restaurant with its stunning view of the olive grove (that even has a wine library) you can choose from a delightful range of foods cooked by Logan Clark. You can choose a wide range of foods from the a la carte menu, but if you want to linger for longer, why not consider the 7-course offering! This is great for a few friends as you can take great delight in tasting a lot of different dishes. The chef prepares some wonderful culinary delights from a range of ingredients, not usually considered by restaurants. For example, a wonderful duck dish compliments by beetroot, cherries and buffalo cheese. Once you have had your fill, why not take the opportunity to have a tour around the grounds – just to aid your digestion.
A Waiheke Delight
Not only is Poderi Crisci a wonderful award-winning restaurant, but it is also a winery and a function venue. Preferring Italian cuisine, it offers a stunning vista that is simply breathtaking. It gets booked up quickly, so ensure you have a few dates in mind or book early for a special date, otherwise you could be disappointed. Food is prepared using high quality local produce. Consider lamb rump with potato and sage, zucchini Macedonia and garlic sauce. Or what about home-made apple, pear and rhubarb jam strudel with a berry broth & vanilla bean gelato.
Top Accolades Galore
One of the top restaurants with accolades galore is Sidart Restaurant. This restaurant is not only star quality, but it offers a large range of exciting and exhilarating flavours just waiting to tickle your tastebuds. The chefs constantly hone their craft, so you may see the menu changing frequently. One of their unique features is that you can be a guinea pig on Tuesdays, as they often allow diners to experience and sample their new menus.
Casual But Chic
Of course, there are some people that love fine food, but do not enjoy being cooped up in a formal atmosphere. If this is you, then what about Depot Eatery and Oyster Bar as a venue? Although this is more informal than many restaurants, make no mistake, they do not compromise on food. Their dish of repute is oysters, but they also offer a range of other wonderful food, such as a meat board that includes ‘Akaroa’ pork coppa, ‘Otellos’ beef bresaola and wild venison salami with unusual accompaniments like fig crostini.
Rustic And Sophisticated
The Amano is a delightful bistro that is found in the inner city. They focus on the best fresh daily produce, which means their menu is printed daily after the have chosen the high-quality ingredients of fish, meat and vegetables. Their wholesome menu not only sports Italian food, but they also offer a New Zealand version of each dish. They have an excellent vegetarian choice, and they can accommodate all dietary needs. Shared platters a are a must for family and friends.
Japanese Delight
If you prefer the Japanese experience, then Azabu could be the place for you. This restaurant is alive with party-inspired music, so if you prefer a more quiet and subdued atmosphere, this would not suit you at all. However, the food is an inspiration to behold. The whole experience may not be what you’d expect from a traditional Japanese restaurant, but it is definitely a firm favourite you will return to again.
Eating New York Style
Every now and then its rather fun to choose food that is down to earth or even plain, this is where The Grill excels. Whether you choose a steak library, or a suckling pig washed down with something from their large range of wines you will not be disappointed. They can accommodate large groups, so if you have a family reunion coming up, this could be your place of choice. However, make sure you have no vegetarians amongst the party.
