Spqr Cafe - Auckland New Zealand

I was recommended this restaurant by a colleague, and what a fantastic suggestion it was! The venue has a romantic ambiance and the staff were attentive without being intrusive. For my starter, I had the char-grilled squid, which offered classic, simple flavors in a good-sized portion. Every ingredient stood out beautifully. For my main course, I enjoyed the saltimbocca with broccolini on the side, which was served with a lime wedge—a wonderful pairing. The saltimbocca was definitely the star of the meal, featuring an absolutely stunning texture and flavor, complemented by an amazing sauce. I think I’ll try to recreate this dish at home!

The service was excellent, and the food was absolutely sublime. I particularly want to highlight the crayfish ravioli, which was superb — the filling was packed with crayfish and expertly seasoned. The bisque that accompanied it was the cherry on top. The sticky date pudding was incredibly rich and indulgent, and I still regret not finishing it.

The paella is good. Tiramisu is freshly make in the morning, but the cake layer a bit too moisturising for me.

Beautiful food. Fantastic service Love the outdoor seating on a sunny day. The interior can get a little dark if you don’t have a seat right by the window. Love the BYO day’s.

Really nice vibes! Went there on a Saturday for the restaurant month deal which is really worth it. You can get 3 course, appetiser, a main and a dessert also come with a cocktails! Waited for almost 2 hours for our mains to be served as there are really busy in the afternoon, however, the staffs were really nice that they gave us free glasses of cocktails and also bread for us. Tiramisu is really good too!! I’ve ordered the scampi pasta and it’s kind off bland, I would love it more if it’s more salty. My friend ordered the pasta with clams, and it was super duper salty and she didn’t really like it. By the way I Love the cocktails very much!
