Auckland Restaurant Tips by TomorrowsAngel

Restaurant Name: Sawadee Thai Cuisine

Experience traditional Thai dining or enjoy the ambience of the more western-style atrium. You can either sit in little hollowed out spaces or in the atrium which is filled with beautiful Thai artwork and decoration. There is also a special function room with private bar caters for groups needs.
The service is good considering the restaurant is always packed, and staff are polite.

Favorite Dish: We always get the mixed entree platter which has: grilled satay chicken skewers, prawn patty with Thai herbs, chicken, onion and kumura in puff pastry, vegetarian spring rolls, fried corn fritters with sweet chilli sauce and money bags with prawn, chicken and Thai Herbs
Followed by pad pug taw hu which is stirfried fresh vegetables and tofu in a Thai sauce with crunchy onion on top. Its great served with the fresh Jasmine rice.
Then a nice pot of Jasmine tea to round off the evening.

Restaurant Name: Café Cezanne

Cezanne's has the best coffee and cake.
They do meals and snacks. The size of the meals is more than generous, and the desserts are heavenly!
I sometimes used to go there for coffee and cake after work with a friend, you can easily relax among the muted murals on the walls, and read all the publicity material that is left by the arts and music community.
This is also a great place to pop into for some sustenance during weekend shopping on Ponsonby Road. The staff are fast and efficient. Tables out the front for summer are good.

Favorite Dish: The vegetarian pasta salad off the menu are really good, and I always get a piece of chocolate cake (from the counter) which is usually massive!
They do great smoothies as well.

Restaurant Name: Rocket Kitchen

Rocket Kitchen provided contemporary takeaway cuisine. Ranging from pre-cooked gourment meals, to birthday/wedding cakes. They sell a selection of gourmet ingredients and preserves/condiments.

Favorite Dish: The chocolate whisky cake is really moist and lasts for 3-4 days without going stale - if it survives lol.
