Made-to-order omelet, hash browns, charcuterie, pastry, yogurt with mango compote
Sarah B.

We loved the breakfast buffet as part of our stay at Cordis! Huge variety of food and drink available and nearly everything was top notch. Staff were all very friendly and did a great job keeping everything clean and well stocked. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate can be ordered with your servers and are then delivered to your table. Other drinks are self service including water, apple juice, pineapple juice, and even fresh squeezed orange juice! The pastries were disappointing, but everything else we tried was delicious. The made-to-order omelets and waffles were expertly cooked, and we also enjoyed the bacon, triangle hash browns, fried rice, yogurt with mango compote, and fresh kiwi fruit. They even have honeycomb and chocolate fountains! Breakfast price was NZ$30 per person as part of our room package. NZ$40 per person otherwise. We thought it was well worth it and would definitely come back on our next visit to Auckland.

This buffet was on the top of just about every list and me being a food critique, I couldn't resist. Know right off the bat, this place is not cheap and will put you in the hole about $75/person. You may be disappointed in my feedback, but I was not impressed. The venue is nice and it's worthy of a place to go on a date, but the food itself is ordinary with the exception of a few selections of unique meat (alpaca, kangaroo, ostrich). They do cook the meat/seafood to your liking which is nice and they have eggs (uncommon) but a lot of it was lacking good flavor. It's also a lot smaller in person than it looks in pictures. The oysters in the seafood category were good, other than that and the meat, nothing else stood out. In New Zealand, Eight at Cordis may be king, but compared to some of the buffets in Las Vegas and Bangkok, this buffet isn't on the top of the charts.

Seafood Station - yum!

I have been to the buffet at Eight three times now. Each time has been excellent! My most recent visit was a few months' ago when I took my older sister for lunch for her birthday. Once I had explained to her the 'Eight' different themed kitchens and how it works, she was super excited. You basically take your seat (definitely recommend booking a table and arriving early), then when the kitchen opens, you can eat as much as you wish from any of the following Eight stations: 1. Seafood & Oyster Bar - think prawns, oysters, mussels and fish (orange roughy, snapper, tarakihi, salmon and many more). 2. Sushi & Sashimi Bar - my absolute favourite station with endless amounts of freshly made sashimi, sushi, miso soup and you can have as much ginger and soy sauce as you like! 3. Indian Tandoori & Curry Kitchen - we tried the paneer curry, beef vindaloo, butter chicken and homemade naan bread. 4. Wok & dim sum corner - they serve steamed buns, dumplings and noodles. 5. New York Style Grill - this is the fun part. You choose anything from the meat cabinet (for example eye fillet, lamb steak, chicken skewer or maybe kangaroo as they once had on the menu), you tell the chef how you like it cooked and it's done! Sizzling hot on your plate and you can add sides to accompany it like roasted vegetables, mashed potato or a variety of sauces. 6. Salad bar - is either 'help yourself' or let the chef toss it up for you. There is such a range of salads, I would say at least 20 different ones! 7. Fresh breads and pastries - I have never paid much attention to this station, because bread fills me up! They do however have a good selection of cheeses to go with the bread if you fancy that. 8. Last but not least, the dessert station. I have slowly learnt that if you want to eat at least three of the desserts, you must try a little bit of everything else (savoury items), and that way you can save room for dessert because you will definitely not want to pass up the chocolate fountain! And all the delectable desserts of course! I dipped melon and marshmallows into the chocolate fountain and then had a crème brulee and panacotta to finish off, while my sister could only fit in a chocolate dipped Movenpick ice cream in a cone! As for the service, it is great. Water glasses were always topped up, plates replenished every time you finished a meal and new cutlery for your next course. Overall, always a great experience. I recommend it to everyone, even if you just try it once!

The buffet was good but a bit small. When you go take your food you lack from space because other people are waiting for their turn. We paid 88$ per person.

Best buffet I've been too bar none. Made to order pasta, fish and meats. Meats included kangaroo, ostrich and elk along with several interesting dry aged meats. Plus your usuals - lamb in two forms, sausages and several cuts of beef. Also had sushi, cheese/chatcutterie, breads, Indian station,assorted desserts and more that I am forgetting. Two hour time limit was barely enough to try everything we wanted. Price was higher because of holidays which was cheeky since it was not advertised when we initially made the reservation and the only "extra" was a nut cracker with a crown and tape measure(??) inside. Still extraordinary.

A selection of delights from the dessert buffet

Anywhere that offers a chocolate fountain and Movenpick icecream for breakfast gets an automatic 5 stars from me but the rest of their food more than warrents those stars. I had a bunch of different hotel breakfasts on my recent travels and none was in the same league as this. They had an extraordinary selection of options including a big variety of meats and perfectly made pastries. I could have eaten more than well enough from the gluten free section alone if I'd needed to. They even had a chief on hand to make your eggs exactly the way you like them. If going for breakfast doesn't suit but you can't afford the quite hefty price for the lunch or dinner buffet, give the desert buffet nights a try. At the moment it's only $29 for all you can eat desserts. Some of their miniature cakes are incredible. Of course the chocolate fountain and icecream make an appearance.

Wow! I was very lucky to be taken to Eight at the Langham for my birthday this year and had the best time. My expectations were high and I was not disappointed. Before we were seated we were given a quick tour of the eight kitchens. The staff were so friendly and attentive. At one point my boyfriend left the table and as I patiently waited for him to return so we could get our next course I was approached by two staff members checking if I was alright and reminding me that it was all you can eat and I should 'get my money's worth' which I thought was lovely. They were also very quick at clearing plates and replacing the cutlery and gave me birthday chocolates (score!). We went in with an eating plan and executed it well. We started with the small entrees, oysters and prawns. Then we hit the meat. Oh the meat. Because it was the start we restrained ourselves and only tried a few of the different meats. If I were to go back I would devote more time to the meat kitchen. Imagine a full butchery and you can choose any piece of meat and have it cooked however you prefer. It was fantastic. After meat was the fish which was OK but not my favourite, then the sushi and sashimi (AMAZING). The sashimi chef is slicing from a whole tuna right in front you so you know it's fresh. At this point my boyfriend was struggling and opted for a cheese plate while I valiantly continued alone with him occasionally picking off my plate. The Indian kitchen was good but I would skip it next time for more prawns, sashimi or meat. I went back to the ham and turkey with roast vegetables, duck fat potatoes and gravy which was really, really good. And finally the desserts. First the hot, the Christmas pudding, and then the many, many cold desserts and chocolate fountain. The desserts are all portioned and I wish could have taken half slices of some of the things as I wanted to try everything. The creme brulee was delicious, as was the Christmas pudding but the other desserts were so-so. All in all it was an amazing experience and a really special way to celebrate my birthday. I feel it was good value for money, especially the sashimi, prawns and oysters. I would love to go back one day in the future but not for a while as I still feel uncomfortably full when I think about it.

You can put together your…read moreown delicious mongolian dishes, adding whatever sauces, veggies, meats and salads you so desire. Then watch them toss it over the fire pit! It's seriously exciting! And then they have lovely ice cream and pancakes for dessert. Well, you can imagine how I rolled out the door of this place - never eaten so much in my life! Just goes to show this is really tasty food and an all round good experience. Watch your plates pile high, your food cook and laugh with your friends as you enjoy a competition of who can eat the most plates of food. Just be careful the chefs don't give your masterpiece to someone else - it's hard to keep up with who's who on a busy night!

At Gengy's you grab your dish and heard around the obstacle course popping whatever you want into your bowl. There's meats, salads, sauces, oils, spices galore. Then you take this over to the awesome 'cooking pit' where someone slaps all your selections onto a hot plate and cooks it for you. This is an opportunity to see how good of a chef you would be. Personally I found it took me a few times to get the hang of it. My first few plates were such a mish mash of flavours it was hard to know what was going on. After you have stuffed yourself to the brim with mains there is desert. Pancakes and ice cream and chocolatey sauces. And again... all you can eat!! Wear your elastic pants and go with an empty stomach!
