Ada - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Lovely staff throughout our arrival and service. I initially felt a bit unsure sitting on the high chairs by the chef but it ended up being quite entertaining. Chef Kia out did himself as we love every dish. Went for the bacon fried bread to start with and spotted the friarielli which really brought the dish together. Loved the texture of the potato dough boys gnocchi style dish, had just the right amount of cream but I would have loved more beans/asparagus and less peas. The roasted cauliflower was not as warm as I had hoped but the fennel complimented the dish well and it tasted amazing nonetheless. I would usually have my pork belly crispy so I would probably come back to try the fish instead next time. Also had the pleasure of trying the signature Ada purple lemonade which wasn't too sweet or overpowering, definitely recommend. We ended the night with the chocolate Panna cotta which wasn't really set so it ended up being more on the ice cream side of things. All in all, good experience and a beautiful restaurant with the exposed brick and textured walls. Would likely come back to share the experience with others.

The long lunch is a must of you're in Auckland! They under charge it's ridiculous. Get there before the prices go up. Service was amazing and the place is beautiful but the food is heaven! We had the pleasure of staying overnight so it was nice to just walk up the stairs with over full bellies

My one and only suggestion for Sunday brunch in Auckland. Delicious food, exquisite atmosphere. (I think the building used to be a monastery. Arty, chic, upper-mid prices for 2023 (set menu was around $60 per person .

I had the Sunday set menu while staying at the Convent hotel, and enjoyed every single course. Normally this is a sharing menu, but as I was traveling solo, the staff and kitchen kindly accommodated me so that I could have the full experience. The restaurant is buzzy and chic without being stuffy. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Auckland.

Amazing experience , delicious food, friendly staff. Paua pasta is a must. One of the best meals I had in Auckland. Highly recommended
