Review Soul Bar And Bistro - Auckland Central

Michaela Kim

Beautiful view, fantastic service and nice food! The staff members were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. They provided right service and offered more of what we needed. Loved the Pâté and the unique textures of food for tuna was creative! Definitely will go there again. Had such a lovely dinner:)

Get the Caesar!!! I’m food indecisive but came in knowing what I wanted. We opted for a bottle of Pinot Gris and the Caesar to start. Yummy yummy the Caesar in my tummy. For mains we had the lamb obviously 🙄 and the scampi, both were prepared very well. The lamb a perfect medium temperature and a great seafood to pasta ratio on the scampi. Great ambiance and environment, I’d definitely return. P.S Make a reservation

Had a fantastic team dinner on our visit to Auckland! We were maybe slightly underdressed in casual, most were dressed up. The place was buzzing, food was fabulous, seafood and other produce was spectacular. We all had a good time and would return.

I had a wonderful experience ! The staff were incredibly friendly, the cocktails and food were simply awesome. I'll definitely be returning for more delicious meals in the future.

Really a beautiful spot by the water, great for people watching and enjoying good quality food! We enjoyed the local oysters of the day - huge and really different than other oysters I've had elsewhere in the world. Mild and not very briny. We also enjoyed the Trevally Toast. The winner was the Green Goddess Salad with Haloumi cheese... It was SO GOOD that we didn't even remember to take a photo. We split the catch of the day, broccolini, and the miso-butter potatoes. These were good but not great. Dessert was the lemon creme brulee. The hero of that dish was the guava jelly! Overall, a very nice restaurant, good food and lovely scenery! We did get a last minute reservation on a Friday. A very popular spot for people to let their hair down and party (at the bar).

Classic fine dining resturant. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good ambience. Could walk in without reservation for early dinner at 5.30pm on a Sunday.

The front of house Steve is ever so understanding. My friend and I came for lunch and the food came quickly but we were able to be at ease, stay and really appreciate the beautiful atmosphere and freshly served food. The fish and chips was superb. The waiters were so good at recommending options and filling our glasses with water. They don't miss a beat. Highly recommend. Very reasonably priced for a Viaduct location. We'll be back!

Delicious food. Excellent service. Mains a little pricey $50-$100 Only complaint would be a lot of background noise and hard to hear the conversation at the dinner table.

Just a fantastic experience. Our waitress was amazing, unfortunately I don't know her name but she was working on 03/11 at 8pm For starters, immediate service. We ordered the shapeshifter and one other that was similar to a mojito. Both delicious cocktails. Secondly, we ordered everything at once under the recommendation of the waitress as she said they were pretty busy and this would make sure our food was prompt, she was correct. We had the scampi cocktail, which was delicious but needed a lemon slice or something for a bit of acid, that's my only suggestion. We had the Beef Short Rib Ragu and it was just stunning, as well as the market fish which was hapuka today, just an absolutely stunning meal. Alongside the mains we also had a side of broccolini, which was lovely with the market fish. 1 starter, 1 side and 2 mains was perfect for us (2 people). Finally we each had a glass of the Maison de Provence 2021 Rosé, which was lovely with the fish. The Ragu would probably be better with a French red. Overall, our service was amazing, all the staff took great care with us. The atmosphere was amazing, even though they were super busy, they still managed to make it a great experience. The food was just beautiful, and I'd highly recommend everything we had, aswell as the cocktails and wine. 10/10

Being vegetarian options were limited but really loved the atmosphere. Staff is friendly. Would really recommend Green goddess salad. It was amazing.

Right at the harbour with a really nice ambience. Scampi as starter is absolutely recommended. Ragu Pasta was one of the best I have ever had. The waiter Adrian was really helpful and nice. My best recommendations!

Lili Mann

I've been to Soul multiple times. Their menu is quite extensive and uses good quality ingredients, and the food is prepared perfectly. Would especially recommend their lamb ribs, mac n cheese and creme brulee dessert. I'm really impressed with their customer service, especially the head waiter Michael is really professional and friendly. Will be coming back for my birthday if not sooner :)

One of my favourite restaurants in Auckland, Soul Bar who consistently delivers on all fronts, be it the delectable cuisine, impeccable service, fantastic location, or the extraordinary staff who are always friendly and attentive. Thanks team

Gorgeous location in the Viaduct with super friendly staff, excellent choice of wine and amazing food...the squid was sublime and the skewers were fantastic...great spot to watch life past by and take in the beautiful views of the water...would highly recommend this place to anybody visiting Auckland

Great location. Not your average eatery. We had a vegetarian and a gluten-free person in our party. They could cater for everyone. Food was decent. Not sure if it's worth the price.
