Awesome European Restaurants in New Zealand

"For some of the most authentic Greek food and culture in Auckland, Nicolino Restaurant is a Devonport restaurant that delivers. Thursday nights are for live music, dancing and plate-smashing. It's one of the only restaurants in Auckland to offer up this unique Greek experience and their moussaka is so traditional and delicious, I've travelled across the Bridge to the North Shore for this Greek food many times. Highly recommend!"

"Another triumph of a meal from the clever kitchen team at The Refreshment Room. While the boys had the signature scotch with smashed potatoes and a big handful of rocket from the Titirangi restaurant’s on-site garden, I was rewarded for an adventurous choice - light, pillowy cappelletti encasing a braised beef and spinach filling with pancetta atop and a pumpkin purée underneath. Accompanied with a glass of Martinborough rose, it was a divine Sunday night!"

"Rocking out all year round, I love visiting Coco's in June when they start serving up their delicious mulled wine. Mulled wine and this favourite Auckland restaurant go together like polenta and the deep-fryer (Coco's polenta chips are another classic here!). Their infusion fills my insides with warmth and gives my exterior a real winter glow. If you do one thing in Auckland this winter, head to Coco's with a loved one and enjoy a few glasses of mulled wine."

"There's one and only dish I come to Prego to have and, after more than 10 years of eating at this institution of a Ponsonby restaurant, it is always still as good as the first day I tasted it. The magic meal I'm talking about? Prego's fish of the day. There's always a slight culinary twist so each time you eat the dish, it tastes different (no matter how many times you've had it ... and believe me, I've eaten their fish of the day a lot!). Take my word: Try it now!"
