The Verdict
Taking pride of place on an elevated corner site in Royal Oak, is a great spot to watch the world go by while enjoying an elevated menu boasting original fare that punches well above its weight. Now open for evening service offering tapas and hearty main dishes—the slow-braised lamb shoulder is particularly good—bring some mates and order a few dishes to share.
The high tea deserves a special mention here—it includes delicately flavoured scones (savoury AND sweet)—a trio of gloriously fluffy finger sandwiches, thick with yummy fillings—and beautifully crafted cakes and other treats. Add to that a selection of Dilmah's finest teas and optional bubbles, and you're in absolute high tea heaven. This spot is just what Royal Oak has been waiting for.

Bistro Saine
Wander down the cobblestones of Saint Patrick’s Square and you might happen upon the luxurious first floor of newly-built Hotel Indigo, housed in a restored heritage building. You can enter through the other side too—the Albert Street entrance blending into the concrete jungle as if it was always there (just look for the elegant Bistro Saine font out front).
Takapuna Surf Club
When you hear the words surf club, what comes to mind? I think of ice cream, pizza, and Alf Stewart (I haven't watched Home & Away in years, but I understand the Summer Bay Surf Club is still standing. Poor old Mr. Stewart, I'm not so sure).
