High street

Mezze Bar (actually in Durham lane, a place dear to the hearts of many Central Aucklanders)



 



K road



Coco's Cantina (claims itself to be a simple, homestyle, Italian inspired restaurant, but it's really the place to hangout and be seen in Auckland. Super fun, and friendly staff as well - go there for dessert)

 

Sri Pinang (Malaysian - an Auckland institution. These guys go waaay back, but they do it well.)

Mt Albert

Chinoiserie (Asian fusion, hip, healthy and delicious, not so expensive, always fun)



Dominion road

Shaolin Kung Fu Noodle (busy and constantly combusting, slightly scuzzy - in a good, homely way - open late - the lamb noodle soup is famous, the real deal)

Udon Works (Dominion Road - a hospitable, family run business, high standards, excellent value for money)
