Industrial yet cosy. Modern and retro. Laid back and a little bit fancy.

Depot recently opened on Auckland's Federal Street

Review: Depot - Auckland

Beef tataki was unfortunately not on the menu at Hare No Yume

Restaurant review - Hare No Yume

Hare No Yume is a new Japanese restaurant in Mt Eden Village. You would think prosperous Mt Eden would be chock-a-block with Japanese restaurants, but no… Indian is the restaurant of choice here, so owner-chef Jaisoo Lee is filling an obvious gap.

(file pic) Bouchon's cassoulet was far from authentic

Restaurant review: Bouchon

I can count the number of bad meals I have had in New Zealand on two fingers. I am getting embarrassed at all the good reviews I have had to write; reviewers live for the bad reviews.

Pure restaurant is situated in affluent Herne Bay

Restaurant review: Pure

If C4’s Skins is anything to go by, being a posh kid from the London suburbs is a very edgy, risqué affair.

Restaurant Review: The French cafe

More than one third of James Bond’s lovers have died. Poor Bond, I can imagine him now; taking his mind off things by fighting off karate experts with hastily learnt kung fu or going for a good ski hoping he is not interrupted by Russian arms dealers.
