Remuera Local Cafe & Bistro

We were tired after a long day so searched for a quiet little place with easy parking for our regular weekly date night. The Remuera Local Cafe and Bistro was the perfect spot. A lovely quiet little neighbourhood Bistro with free parking (after 6pm) on the road outside. We both had Eye Fillet on a mushroom and potato gratin served with roasted tomato, red onion relish and a beef jus with a side of roasted cauliflower and broccoli. Perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and plenty of it.

Nice place. I enjoyed the experience and the smoothies were delicious

4 of us went for dinner. Food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Nice wine list. Was nice atmosphere, no blaring music so we could hear to talk.
Great service
I would recommend 100%.

A good, well-priced meal, especially at half price!

Fun night.

Sunday morning in Remuera is a lovely relaxed experience. Easy parking just by the cafe.
We both ordered the avocado on rosti. This was really yummy and a good size brekkie. Coffee and chai lattes great too. Atmosphere is lovely although we were a bit chilly as the doors were wide open, I guess to entice more folk in. All in all, I was happy and would return.
Then we had a relaxing wander around the shops. Lovely morning

Lovely cafe to enjoy breakfast at. Food was delish and excellent service. Would deff go back!

Lovely little bistro. The atmosphere was great and the food is quite yummy as well. I especially enjoyed the steak which was cooked just right.

However, the waiter is a little unattentive (such as we need to ask for an order, water and basically anything we need).

I would like to go again especially with first table deals.

We think this would have been our best first table experience so far. Everything was just right.
All four of us chose different meals and we all loved what we received. Generous portion size, great taste. We will be returning!!

Amazing food and excellent staff

We won't be returning to this restaurant.
Service was poor, food took more than an hour to come to the table only to discover that potato gratin was replaced with french fries. Worst French Onion soup we've ever tasted. Even with 50% off the food we still wished we'd spend our $100 elsewhere.

Busy makes staff no smile but food excellent

Great food and service, but only 2 groups of four in the restaurant on a Saturday night. Support your local restaurants people, these guys deserve to do well.

People so kind n food so excellent.

Very friendly, good food, accommodating staff, parking was a little tricky but eventually were sorted

Nice and warm place to go with nice food and services

Nice cosy atmosphere. Service and food both agreeable. Generous portions for the soups. Great to have the early 6pm dining spot.

Enjoyed a pleasant evening in a professional environment. Both had the lamb shank which was tasty and was an ample portion. Service was courteous and not intrusive! Would return

Food was good, service is OK, no one topped our water when we ran out...

Great food and lots of cabinet food options too! Cecilia and her staff were really accommodating, she made sure we had a good experience without prejudice to what deal we had. Will be going back again for sure :)

Friendly service and good food

This restaurant seems to have changed hands since the last time i was there. The lighting is now very bright not muted as it used to be, when we arrived the front door was wide open and was left open for about half an hour, it was a very cold night so it didn't make for a very cozy enviroment .The staff were friendly.The food was average.

Nice venue and relaxed atmosphere...,food was great...very friendly staff. Wonderful night out and experience.

Service was okay, food was pretty good, had the prawn and scallop entree was a good size, my flatmate had the meatballs also said they were pretty good and the sauce on them was amazing!

Would go back!

Surprised not more people!

Ordered the salmon eggs Benedict but was served the bacon one instead. I didn’t mind really, as it was pretty good too. Food wise, quite good. Environment was cosy as well.

The meals were fantastic, hearty and tasty with surprisingly generous portion sizes.

Nice area within the Remuera central shopping district. Food was tasty however portions were bit smaller than expected. Lamb was cooked to perfection and the prawn and chicken blended smoothly with the gravy/sauce so it was very nice. Beverage I thought was very steep in comparison to other First Table restuarants and this is something they can improve on to be more competitive for their patrons. Overall good experience.

Meal was delicious and the menu had a broad selection of choices. Will go again

Excellent food in a really friendly environment.
