Wining & Dining in Auckland

22nd March 2011
We decided to have a baby shower high tea for my friend, and decided on Cornwall Park cafe/restaurant cos of it's great cosy location in the park. A very Victorian feel to it, their high tea selection is great and very affordable. Lovely to sit out on the deck and while the afternoon away in a great atmosphere. Well worth booking and very nice devonshire scones!

Soto Japanese Restaurant in Ponsonby is one of the best Japanese restaurants I have visited in Auckland. We've been here approx 6 times in last year - everytime has been excellent. Very creative dishes, excellent service, good wine list. A must try ...

Visited twice over the past two weeks, once for Friday night dinner which was amazing! Breads are served first with homemade pesto and hummus. A choice of 5 mains and then 3 sweet choices. A wonderful atmosphere and even better food. Also had a gathering for a birthday. Nothing was too much and staff were fabulous.

Great coffee! This is definitely one of the best cafes in Auckland. What a great range of coffee. For a coffee connoisseur this place is heaven. You can also buy their coffee etc online.

We are regular customers of this restaurant. I love Japanese food and have eaten at many japanese restaurants across the Auckland region. Consistently Karin remains one of our favourites for freshness and value for money. The service is friendly and accommodating. The menu is full of variety and is always served with beautiful presentation. The sashimi is fresh and delicious. The raw scampi is a particular favourite! The Chicken karaage is also divine as is the Nabe-yake udon pot. It's all lovely and chase it all down with some warm sake or ice cold plum wine depending on your prederence, you can not go wrong! Oishi-kata!

Yulia 1 4th September 2011 5 star rating My partner and I had lunch at APADANA Restaurant on 02/09/2011. We were absolutely impressed by the atmosphere of this cozy place. It was like travelling to Middle East. Wall paintings of ancient heroes, genuine rugs, fireplace, Persian music - this amazing interior took my breath away and I almost forgot why we were there. We actually found this place accidentally - I bought a voucher online worth of $50 to spend at this restaurant. We wanted to taste something authentic so we ordered Moroccan lamb shank for me and Shandiz kebab for my partner. I must say that I've never eaten such beautiful lamb. Lamb is my favorite dish and I order it at every restaurant I visit. But this one exceeded my expectations. Juicy tender meat with aromatic sauce and perfectly mashed potato were outstanding. Shandiz kebab looked also marvelous. According to my partner, it tasted very well and the size of the portion was impressive. Having finished our lunch with a nice cup of coffee we left this place satisfied with new unforgettable experience and having in mind to come back there again. I would recommend APADANA to those who like good food, attention to detail and creativity.
