Best places: Bistros in Howick, New Zealand

Stylish, contemporary locale with inventive dishes, a lively bar scene & views of Viaduct Harbour.

😐 What a let down. I was craving a good brunch and I was met with a lacklustre experience. The chai latte had no chai flavour, so sent it back immediately (thankfully with no issues). The chocolate at the bottom of the iced mocha was rock hard and the straw wasn’t doing anything to help move it around...

👍 Love that the owners have maintained and retained this wonderful building. Definitely an asset to the area. Try the teramisu and the creme brule as a treat

👍👍 I would give this place 10 stars if I could, We have been here twice in the past couple weeks, food is probably some of the best I have had in Auckland, service is just as good and the location is awesome. I have been recommending this to everyone and I recommend it to you reading this. Go there. No...

👍👍 We had a birthday dinner at the Bistro. The vibe is amazing and waiters are super friendly. We ordered fish and wine. The fish was absolutely amazing, couldn’t get enough! Then we had dessert. A chocolate something with caramel artichoke, OMG it was good. Will definitely return!

👍👍 One of Auckland's hidden gems, with superb great food and service. Would definitely go back! Highly recommended.

👍👍 Amazing food as always, I had the goats cheese souffle as I always do and it consistently impresses me. It tasted a bit different this time, but still just as good. I had the venison which was a special, though I would love to see it on the permanent menu as it was truly amazing, it would be my go t...

👍👍 Just Like Martha is an absolute treasure trove for coffee enthusiasts and foodies alike. As soon as you step into this charming coffee shop, you're greeted with an ambiance that oozes warmth and coziness, making you feel right at home. Inspired by the legendary Martha Stewart's kitchen, this place t...

🫤 I used to love to visit this place and come back during the long weekend brunch with my parents. I have no complaint about their food; however, one of reason I loved this place was their hospitality. I changed my mind this time. The waiter and waitress were so rude. They took my coffee order wrong t...

👍👍 Probably the most beautiful restaurant in Auckland! The courtyard is stunningly designed. Garden is the theme of the restaurant so every little thing is related to the theme. How about the food? Yummy! Beautifully cooked. We enjoyed every meal we ordered even vegetarian one. Kid loves the bur...

👍👍 We had a great breakfast. Delicious, fresh and generous portions. Kids and dogs friendly.

Relaxed, stylish restaurant offering a changing menu of global fare & an international wine list.

👍👍 Came here with my husband as we were hungry in the morning. Ordered eggs benedict and was really surprised by the taste. I usually don't eat poached eggs, but this one was amazing! Really soft and easy to bite muffin and bacon Many thanks to Jo and Team for doing such a great service, very tasty, f...

Lively bar & bistro serving pizza & elevated pub fare in an informal, contemporary space.

🫤 We'd heard some good things about this new local restaurant out West. Sadly, the food was disappointing. Everything looked pretty but the dishes simply didn't deliver on taste or quality. The calamari was very ordinary and the serving was small for the price. The lamb shoulder was cooked beautif...

Bistro & bar serving New Zealand fare & cocktails in a modern space with fireplaces & a courtyard.

😠 Made a booking here for 2 people. Arrived just before booking time only to be asked to sit at the bar table because there was no tables available. Sat at the table and no one bothered to serve us, not even drinks. The person who seemed to be predominantly in our section was walking around, in and ou...

Chic bistro & bar featuring modern NZ fare in the airy, art-filled atrium of Hotel DeBrett.

👍👍 A beautiful spot for a meeting we recently had in the CBD. My flat white was the perfect temperature and flavour, big fan of the pies here as well. A beautiful space with all the white walls and exposed brick. James Ashwin Kakapo Business Sales

👍👍 We just love Bucks Bistro. Best menu selection if you want comfort or something a little more technical. The young staff bend over backwards to make sure you have a fun & enjoyable experience. Keep up the good work guys.
