There's something so good about eating chicken and coleslaw. It takes me back to when I was a kid at a summer BBQ and thankfully, Auckland restaurant king, SPQR, has a chicken meal that takes me back to those halcyon days whenever I eat it. Their signature SPQR chicken - smothered in herbs, spatchcocked and roasted to perfection - alongside mash, gravy and slaw is a winner, winner chicken dinner every day of the week. If I only I could dine like a queen every day!

Best pizzas and absolutely loved the duck, so amazing! This place never disappoints!

Whenever I walk past this place everyone dining here always looks so chilled out and happy (and beautiful, is that a Ponsonby thing?) and the food looks amaze.

Quite possibly the best restaurant in all of Auckland. Great food, excellent selection of wine and the service is simply fabulous!

Everything, SP is timeless and always delivers a good time.

Always amazing, love the ambience

The best chicken Salad

Perfect place for an afternoon bubbles and a platter to share

Great atmosphere. Loved the tuna loin. My brother had the chocolate molten fondue. He rated it (with experience in that area)

Always great food, Great service & atmosphere.
