Served with pita bread, fresh salad, garlic yogurt. $10.50 NZD
The Kebab House, Auckland NZ
Meh, this was just ok. I thought that the lamb kebab could have been more tender and moist. There was also very little salad and yogurt.
Furikake crumb, togarashi sprinkle, yuzu mayo. $19 NZD
Oyster & Chop, Auckland NZ
Wow, this was probably one of the best calamari dishes I’ve had! The squid was super tender, the breading was delicious, and it was perfectly fried. Combine that with the Japanese flavors and you have a winning plate!
Shaved pickled beetroot, roast beetroot, candied walnuts, Drunken Nanny Ash goat’s cheese, lime and vanilla dressing $19 NZD
Oyster & Chop, Auckland NZ
Mmm, I loved this beet dish! It was so delicious and there was an amazing variety of flavors and textures. I especially liked the goat cheese spread underneath and the pea shoots on top.
Mignonette, lemon. Happy hour, each $2 NZD
Oyster & Chop, Auckland NZ
Hmm, I liked that these oysters were super affordable during happy hour, but they didn’t seem very fresh or tasty. They seemed like they could have been previously frozen which is never a good thing. Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Elephant Hill Syrah ($13 NZD) and Mills Reef Cabernet blend ($12 NZD).
Chocolate coconut ice cream and strawberry macarons.
Melt, Auckland NZ
Omg, this was SO good! I loved the chocolate coconut flavor of the ice cream and it had a great firm texture. The macaron was also very yummy. A great afternoon treat!
$6.50 NZD
Better Burger, Auckland NZ
These burgers were disappointing. I mean, you can’t even see the beef patties they were so small! Lame.
Clos Marguerite Rose ($11.50 NZD) and Passage Rock Chardonnay ($13 NZD).
Devon On The Wharf, Devonport NZ
I loved the location of this restaurant with the amazing view of downtown Auckland. I just wish their bar program would have been smarter than using tinted glasses to serve wine. This made our wine look disgusting and kept throwing me off every time I wanted to take a sip. Our wine looked liked an appletini and Kool-Aid for god’s sake!
