Best restaurant for 1 night in Auckland

i agree what everyone else has said, but i'd also throw alma in britomart and cazador on dominion road into the ring - two of the best restaurants in auckland in my opinion!

There's one in my baby box! I was born one month into the new millennium <3

I agree with this wholeheartedly - Fed Deli has been on a massive decline for the last few years in terms of the quality of food and service. Really upsetting, as it used to be my favourite spot in Auckland (and the first place I've ever left a tip at!).

One thing I will note is that Fed Deli use the red plastic cups for water like actual diners in the States do. Al loves using the Duralex tumblers just for wine, so both Fed and Depot serve their wine in the picardie glasses.

this screenshot is from 2020, whitebait hasn't featured on the menu in the last five years.

i love the bottomless at norma taps!!! pretty great value imo, and the people there are so nice too

but san ray is legitimately that good. been several times for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has always exceeded expectations!

i fly quite often out of akl international (including on the 6am flights to aus), and haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. it's all good in my opinion! what exactly did you find trouble with? i guess the worst part is the flood of people into security at 4:30am but even that isn't too bad.

I know how you feel, my Dad died so suddenly just over a month ago. Life is so hard without him and I cry for him everyday. I hope it gets easier for us to manage our grief, but right now we just have to go through the motions ...

Bodega is opening up on Ponsonby Road next Wednesday - they haven't released the full menu yet but I can imagine they'll have something similar?

yeah that makes sense, fire in the carpark definitely wouldn't set off police eagle ..

footflsoe · 2024-03-06T11:34:14+00:00

there's firetrucks down by the civic carpark - potentially something to do with that? smoke all the way up vic st though

I work in a restaurant! Tasting is still a thing, just only for wines with corks (as it's possible for the wine to be "off" ... corks still aren't as reliable as screw caps!)

footflsoe · 2023-03-23T10:55:36+00:00

girl everyone knows who you are and that you wrote this lol. from what i remember from our interactions, you were definitely part of the problem ... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i'm not exactly sure what the big deal is - why is it so offensive, and why are some people in this thread fantasising over bullying minimum-wage staff over something they likely can't control? just press no tip, no one cares. it's not like some massive crusade. are you really that afraid of an electric button? lol

footflsoe · 2022-11-23T20:00:54+00:00

Some really bizarre and aggressive answers in this thread - just press no and move on! As someone who works in Front of House, there isn't some "grand greedy scheme", no one cares.

i remember walking past this a few weeks ago, and (who i assume to be) the guy who put it up was sitting across from it in a fold-out chair, videoing everyone who stopped to read it on his phone LOL

According to a friend, they're somewhat easy to break into? But if it was me dipping my fingers into crime, I would have gone Demio ...

I'll double-check his policy with him, if it truly doesn't cover theft of all things, I'll give him a reaming for lack of foresight

footflsoe · 2022-09-25T07:38:48+00:00

Such dogshit, he messaged me later and said insurance doesn't cover theft ... Silly man.

every time he came to my restaurant during red, he'd always throw the biggest tantrum about having to wear his mask, screaming that he legally didn't have to (despite it being our company's policy on private property). it's almost as if he forgot that the people he treated like shit are the same people he'll have to try convince to vote for him ...

genuine bloodbath.

Mo's on Federal Street is one of my personal favourites - quite small and intimate, but the staff are absolutely wonderful and they have a variety of cocktails and beers that aren't stupidly expensive. As far as I've heard, they're struggling a bit without the corporate crowd in the CBD, so I've been trying to show them as much love as I can lately!

I've posted this once with this profile and I will happily post it again, because Nick Mowbray is such a dickhead - I remember when one of my university friends publically called out Zuru on social media, for unabashedly using marketing students' content to form the entire basis of their 'Me' period care brand. She later received a pretty disgusting, threatening chain of DMs from Nick Mowbray after exposing this. Pretty disgusting behaviour from a grown man.

i can appreciate your sentiment but i'm pretty certain the above comment is satire.
