In celebration of Auckland Restaurant Month, I will be posting 31 quick-fire reviews on 31 restaurants and cafes in the Auckland CBD and city fringe.
The atmosphere is…
Strangely European for a South American/Latin spot.
Come here for…
Lots of small tasty snacks to be shared. Fresh food with bright flavours.
The most interesting thing on the menu…
- Confit duck mole
Unexpectedly wonderful…
- Tacos – they are not your average taco
I would come back to try…
- Their ceviche
Catering to…
The Ponsonby crowd. Omnis and vegetarians. Vegetarian options unmarked. Vegan options available on request. Gluten free status unknown.
Expect to spend…
$30-$50 per person
The service is…
Good. Well oiled.
Avoid if…
You are on a budget. The dishes are small and you’ll probably want 2 or 3 dishes per person.

All these restaurants you are reviewing look delicious. Makes me want to visit Auckland.
