If your a an upcoming indie band more than likely you would have played at The Kings Arms . Small yet loads of character.

This cosy little bar is an absolute delight. Cool tunes and delish cocktails

First I'm a sucker for a good name. The Gyspy Tea room just says "cool" to me.  It's relaxed yet sophisticated. Cool but not try hardish.  My perfect venue for a nightcap!

. The owners are ex Mondial owners and have again established another successful restaurant

One of the original wine bars about Auckland, This place still hums most nights, but especially the nights when there is a gig at the Powerstation

I think this picture says it all.  What amazing taste Lucy Marr has or her at least her interior designer.  You'd have to say she has visited many-a-spa around the world as she has thought of everything. 

It wouldnt be a perfect Saturday if you had not started it with Yum Cha. Grand Harbour is regarded at the best in Auckland. It worth lining up for

My flatmate had a last minute bail out of cooking dinner as planned. So up she went and got us some healthy takeaways from our local. So healthy yet I am so satisfied!

I stepped out of my comfort zone and ordered something Id never ordered before and now that dish will apart of my comfort zone forever.  The ravioli was unbelievable 

I love the pizza by the slice here as they actually offer some really interesting flavour combos. Unlike some larger chain store set ups who offer no more than 5 flavours.   

Yes it's pretty cold out there these past few days. But Prego has their outside area perfectly tempered.  Loads of outdoor heaters kept it cosy enough to enjoy the fresh air!

what a buzzy restaurant. Load of diners all enjoying awesome pizzas and taking full advantage of it being BYO.  Cant wait to go back 

Be prepared to get your elbows out. This place is so busy and always a line to get a table, you really have to watch your place in the que as there are some very pushy dumpling eaters. All of this aside, it builds to the excitement of some of the best freshly made dumplings you'll ever eat 

I love this place. Cheap and very cheerful BYO. Its always packed full due to the great food.  I got this very funny plate of rice. 

Once a week I tend to meet my girlfriends for a cheap and cheerful catch up over some food, usually a laksa or a thai stirfry. Thats the beauty of a food court really , everyone can eat to their own tastes. Im a massive fan of the malyasian there.
