Stumbled upon this gem in a row of cute shops and restaurants on the way to the train station after…read morea long morning (and afternoon) of hiking up Mount Eden and shopping in Newmarket. Coming to New Zealand, I didn't anticipate on having a burger at all, but I was so hungry and didn't know my way around Newmarket, I think coming here was actually fate. I cannot tell you how fantastic the Lamb Burger was--the meat was so tender, the burger literally melted in my mouth. I'm not much of a beetroot eater (and I'm told this is a common topping in Australian and New Zealand burgers), but it was different in a good way. The bun was also really good, so no complains about the burger at all. We also got the Potato Skins with Truffle Aioli--amaaazing! They were hot and fresh when it came to our table and the chunky portions were more than generous. It's such a shame I'm almost 9,000 miles away because I'm craving a meal from this place at this very moment. The staff were a fun bunch, especially our waiter, Liam, who was full of laughs. Great place away to eat from the shopping madness on Broadway--Osborne Lane is a super cute and nice place to hang out.

I've worked many an evening shift and have been incredibly greatful for the opportunity to fall into The White Lady's greasy, yet tender embrace. She isn't fancy, not something youd introduce to your family, but she is there when you need a quickie. The chocolate milkshake, teamed with a cup of chips, is really good when you're wanting a comforting meal. It isn't as cheap as many might like - but no doubt the place is expensive to run and staff, so I'm not going to kick up a fuss. They provide a valuable service and I'm glad they exist :)

With vegan and gluten feee options, this was a great spot for lunch. We tried their tacos for lunch and I have to say it was one of the best vegan and gluten free tacos ever hands down! The tortilla was soft yet crispy with a beet hummus done to perfection with every texture imaginable from crispy chickpeas to the beet chips and the softness from the hummus and slight spiciness. The dish when plated looks like it belongs in an upscale Michelin style restaurant. This place packs a ton of flavor! We also shared their hand cut fries which were large and satisfying. They have the feel of potato skins with the crunchy exterior and a soft and supple interior and the taste is unbelievably satisfying when dipped into the spicy aioli that accompanies it or just plain ketchup if that's your jam. The chicken tacos were also pretty dense and crunchy and fried to perfection. The sauce is sweet and tangy and makes for a filling lunch! This place is a must try for sure! Service is also superb and everything comes up in a timely fashion and fast! Staff is very aware of dietary restrictions which is very helpful!

Don't go pass on the soda, they are my favorite sodas...This is the best cafe on Nuffield I reckon.

My boyfriend and I stopped in here one night instead of going grocery shopping, as we were hungry…read moreand had been wanting to try this place for a while (I'd always walk by it and it looks super cute). I love the chill vibes and trendy but lowkey ambiance. We sat in a booth which was really fun and round, and though it wasn't super busy, we waited a bit before we could get menus. About 15 mins later, someone came to take our orders. The staff looked busy but there were 2 people working the floor there and only three tables aside from us. Anyway, it didn't bother me too much, and when a person came to chat with us, I asked them if I could get anything vegan. They can do the vegetarian burger vegan-style, as long as you switch out the bun for a gluten free one and take off the special sauce. I thought the buns were really cute and was a bit disheartened to have to get a gluten free bun, but I decided to give it a shot. The guy working there had an amazing knowledge of vegan things, he even knew which beers they had that were vegan. My boyfriend ordered the classic burger, which arrived much cuter looking than mine. He got the combo, which means he also got fries and a soda. The fries were a bit greasy, but I guess thats what makes them "fries." I still ate half :) He tried the blueberry and lime soda, which was super good. My burger was definitely vegan and gluten-free tasting. The "burger" was a battered and fried onion, with more batter than onion. It tasted a bit like fried white flour. It had a portabello mushroom on top, which added a bit of flavor, and I asked for avocado as well. There was the tiniest bit of avocado added, which was also a bit disappointing as it costs a shitload extra for avocado. (okay like $2 but still) The gluten free bun was, as most gluten free bread, crumbly and not ideal. I ordered it, so I can't be mad, but it wasn't the best. I think next time I'd just wrap it in lettuce. But next time I probably wouldn't get the burger, so... I guess I'd just go for fries. #veganlife All in all, it was a bit less than the experience that I'd hoped for. The staff was friendly (if slow), and the food was mediocre but decently priced (we paid like $33 total). I probably wouldn't go back, but I'm happy we finally tried it. If you're a meat eater, you'd probably like it a bit more than I did :)

The place is bright and colorful, simple menu and what looked like good sandwiches. They also had drinks to go and fountain sodas. Unlike most restaurants in NZ, there wasn't water on the counter so I bought a bottle; they didn't tell me you could get it for free behind the counter. I ordered what sounded like a simple burger and some fries. I loved the packaging; cardboard wrapper that opened to hold it together. The beef quality was just okay; there was way too much sauce and mayo. The fries were too salty so I couldn't finish them. I had much better burgers later on my trip, this one isn't really worth the visit.

It was a great night - the restaurant had a lovely ambience, the service was good and most importantly, the food was delicious!!! So delicious that I really wanted to come back and try their lunch menu. When a recent Grabone deal popped up, it was the perfect opportunity! I booked a table for two ahead of time and I'm so glad I did! We arrived at 1pm on a beautiful sunny Saturday and the place was absolutely packed! Our table was right by the huge windows that open out onto Nuffield Street. They have ample seating, with a great indoor/outdoor flow and it definitely felt like we were in a European city - such a cool vibe! We ordered a Mojito ($14.50), the Mussels ($18.50) and the Moorish Eggs with Turkish Pide Bread ($17.50). The mojito was very refreshing on the hot summers day and instead of being overly sweet, it was minty and had a good amount of lime in it. My Mum had the mussels and she thoroughly enjoyed them - the flavours were a perfect balance of garlic, chilli and lemon. The Moorish eggs were delicious as well. After seeing many Instagram photos of the Moorish eggs, I just knew I had to order them! At $17.50, one would think it is too steep, but it was actually very filling! The dish consists of 3 eggs and 6 meatballs in a rich tomato sauce, plus Turkish Pide bread on the side. It was very yummy and it would make a great comfort meal in the winter! The service was friendly and we didn't have to wait long for our food. Highly recommend Tasca - it's a great place for all occasions whether it be a function, a birthday, a date night or best of all, a lazy Sunday afternoon!
