My boyfriend & I had a lovely dining experience here recently.
Our waitress Hannah was so attentive to our dietary restrictions (Coeliac) and it was clear she genuinely cared.
The same goes for the talented chefs in the kitchen, who were super patient and understanding and took the Coeliacs/gluten allergy very seriously.
Thank you all for making this such a lovely date night for us! We’ll definitely be back.
With a chill vibe and ocean views, this spot offers massive portions and a great atmosphere, perfect for a casual lunch.

Came in for a quick lunch. My partner ordered the fish and chips with mushy peas Gluten free and I had the pork tacos, beef brisket lollipops and the chips.
Atmosphere was nice and chill. Quiet for a Saturday lunch time but there was a lot going on outside.
Service was quick and easy. The server helped my partner who had a bee sting which was much appreciated.
Food came out fast and was temperature hot. The chips were the best thick cut pub chips I’ve had in a while. Good amount of salt and perfect amount of aioli. The fish was cooked well and wasn’t dry. The brisket lollipops had great seasoning and flavours were sweet and fragrant.
The corn tortillas on the tacos did fall apart more than I’d like but everything else for the taco was delicious. The salsa and mole were delicious with the pork.
Haven’t had a bad meal at The Kestrel to date. Thanks team
A casual dining gem with a vibrant atmosphere and an extensive menu offering plenty of options, perfect for a fun night out.

Food was amazing! I wish I'd remembered to take some photos. The only let down was service was a little slow- as in getting drinks initially and then the tables weren't cleared at all...but the food came out quickly and I'd go back again simply for the food options! 4 of us are coeliac and there were so many dishes that were either gluten free or could be modified for us 😍
With a vibrant atmosphere and an impressive array of menu choices, this spot is a must-visit for anyone in Auckland looking for a delightful experience.

One of my absolute favourite spots for coffee, dinner, lunch, drinks. Good for vegans and gluten free and the most wonderful staff. I adore going in for a chat and they always are so welcoming! The sangria is great to share and the soup and hummus platter have the most amazing flavours and good for sharing!

We came for a team dinner. There were 7 of us. We highly rated the organic chicken and short rib. They were just delicious.
One of our team members is a celiac and had a reaction from the chicken dish. Although she had specified that she was a celiac at the time of ordering, and asked the server delivering her meal to make sure, she was still "glutened". Unsure what went wrong there, but Giraffe may need to assess their processes when handling gluten.
With a lively atmosphere and plenty of gluten-free options, this spot is perfect for a busy night out with family or friends!

Incredible lunch, could not fault it. The food and service were the highlights for sure but the atmosphere and decor were great too. Every single dish we ordered was delicious, the Pacifica Ceviche was the highlight. The menu sounded really interesting and delicious and it lived up to those expectations. The menu was very clear on what was vegetarian, vegan, dairy free and gluten free. The service from the whole team was great, attentive and informative, especially from our main server Olivia. She was really friendly and professional but still felt like being served by a friend which is exactly what I enjoy about nz hospo. The level of service from each team member was fantastic and I wish them all the best over this crazy season

Was a really nice burger. Kids burger was decently priced aswell. Servers were nice and friendly but ordered from the QR code. No problem with that but prefer not to go on my phone when going out for dinner. They do cater for gluten free.

What a surprising find, only due to a gluten free group. No idea this place existed. Awesome spot and the food was absolutely brilliant. You’d pay twice as much for half the food in the city and not get to look at cute little lambs in the field. The food was 10/10. If you haven’t gone. Go!

Visited Hideaway for a bottomless with the girls for my birthday and absolutely loved it!! The food was amazing and the drinks were top notch! All of us left feeling very full either with drinks (wine, prosseco, cider or mimosas) or food! Very conscious of any dietary requirements and were able to adapt food where need - great for gluten free and vege/vegan! Food was delicious and drinks were plenty strong which made the bottomless all the more worth it! Can’t forget to mention lil buddy Jax who was nothing short of a friendly face to everyone! 10/10 would recommend to friends and come back - even just for a drink on a night out! The location is a bit hidden but still easy to locate and find our way in with plenty of signage on the main road!

Superb vegetarian food and lots of it. My "Chickun" burger was large and delicious with a generous helping of salad on the side. The polenta chips were crispy perfection and my partner described her gluten free pizza as the best she'd ever eaten. Great choice of dishes, excellent, friendly service and we also loved the drinks. We'll be going back... often.

What a gem of a place! The food is on par with some of the best around Auckland.
Price-wise, they aren't cheap, but you get your money's worth for every dish. Took some family over on a weeknight, and the place was buzzing and full of patrons.
Ordered vegetarian & gluten free options of which there were plenty!
Highly recommend the roasted carrots/ grilled cauliflower.
They don't normally do bookings in the evenings unless you're a bigger party.
Lovely and attentive staff. Really obliging with gluten free options and bringing me a little plate of limes when they saw me eating the limes out of other people’s glasses 😅
Good food although portions were a bit disappointing considering the cost. Catered well to gluten free and had a dedicated menu which was much appreciated. Overall recommend

Wow what a lovely dining experience. The only thing better than the food is the passion that the staff have for their job. My partner has a number of allergies and they catered for them perfectly as well. Great gluten-free pizza!

Wife and I had lunch here, I had chowder (very good - lots of seafood) she had omelet (which she enjoyed). I had a Americano ( beans from Atomic) great full flavoured coffee and a keto peanut butter brownie ( which was ok). Service was really friendly and helpful, appreciated help with signing in for parking 😊 seats comfortable, Decor bit like being in a large locker room.
Very healthy food range with keto food and gluten free options as well as vegetarian. Would certainly come again.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at this restaurant during a long layover at the airport. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing brunch, with a delicious selection of vegetarian and vegan options that really hit the spot. The atmosphere was incredibly comfortable, making it an ideal place to wait during my connection. The customer service was flawless—Mehak and Hardeep were so patient, friendly, and helpful. They were especially careful when I mentioned that I'm intolerant to lactose and gluten, ensuring my meal was safe and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return!
Had the romy bolognese with gluten free and dairy free requirements and it was amazing. Best gluten free pasta ive had in Auckland! Service was amazing, highly recommend!
We just had some drinks at Conservatory and quite disappointed by the pricing. I am wanting to avoid gluten so having a beer was not suitable for me. I opted instead for the sodas, and the menu clearly stated that it was $6 to add a spirit. I clarified with the server whether this was the case and she said yes. I ended up ordering three different flavoured sodas and each time asked for tequila to be added as the spirit. I assumed my sodas and tequila would have come to $42. My husband ordered three beers and when we had just left he advised me that the total was $107!
That didn’t make sense to me, but then we realised we were charged about $36 for the tequila. I don’t know where the miscommunication was but it’s quite disappointing this happened.
Essentially each soda I had, came with $12 worth of tequila. The menu was written in such a way that it sounded as though the added spirit is just a flat $6. I was never told that perhaps the tequila cost more, or that 2x the tequila was being added to my soda. If it’s the latter it’s a bit irresponsible of the venue as I’ve unintentionally consumed more alcohol than I was aware of.
Given we drank our drinks we did not see the point in going back to argue over $18. It’s a shame because we enjoyed the atmosphere and the staff were friendly and attentive.

We visited Browns Bay Brewing Co. last Friday to celebrate a friend’s birthday, and it was fantastic! Recommended by a friend who dines here often, the location is perfect—right by Browns Bay Beach with a lovely indoor/outdoor flow. The food was incredible, especially the tender chicken wings and the famous ribs, which lived up to the hype. The quality of the ingredients was top-notch, and the menu had great options, including plenty for those with gluten allergies.
The service was friendly, fast, and attentive, with staff making sure we were taken care of throughout the evening. Plus, the craft beer selection was fantastic. A lively atmosphere, quick service, and delicious food made for a memorable night. Highly recommend!

Well, 4.2 stars is definitely much too less for that service and food you get here. All in all I’ve had the lamb shank gluten-free and my wife had the beyond burger vegan. Both things were very well prepared. The house wine and lamb is from NZ production and the meat was falling off the bone mate. So delicious I will dream about that. My wife was happy with her burger as well. The Pinot Noir was a good taste. Prices are absolutely fair for the quality they deliver.
Keep up the good work guys, we‘ll come back for a good meal when we‘re back in NZ. 👌💪👍

We were in Auckland for a week and found ourselves coming back to Bew again and again. The atmosphere was great, the service was outstanding, and it had a good menu and a great range of beers. It was great that they had a good selection of gluten free items on the menu including 3 beers - way to go!
Don’t advertise as having gluten free alternative available, if you don’t actually have a gluten free alternatives… this was my gluten free fish taco…
I’d shudder to see the gluten free burger and pizza options 😦
Also, who decided make your guests order via a QR code and then add on a fee for using a that QR code?!?
Awful experience.
