![5]( "Recensione")
My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at La Marée restaurant in Auckland recently, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for a delightful evening. What truly stood out for me was the attention to detail and the evident passion that went into every dish. The chef's creativity and skill were in the unique flavour combinations and the impeccable presentation. It was evident that only the freshest and highest quality ingredients were used, resulting in a truly memorable dining experience. We noticed that the restaurant was quite busy that night and the service was a bit slow in clearing our tables and attending to us. However, I would highly recommend La Marée restaurant to anyone looking for an exquisite dining experience in Auckland. The combination of exceptional food, friendly service, and inviting ambiance truly sets La Marée apart. I eagerly anticipate returning to create more cherished memories there. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!
Yummy food!
Scallops and oysters for entree.
The best scallops!
Steak was great! The market fish was snapper it was beautiful! Definitely recommended resto
Very nice building and restaurant. Very good food for the money. Good chioce of classic cocktails. Very good choice of wine.
Bread and butter before the food.
We ate "Pan-Seared Market Fish From The Bay Of Plenty. Celeriac, granny smith apple, vermouth berrue blanc" and "Costal Spring Lamb Loin. Duck fat potateos, sweet carrot puree, cognac green pepper sauce" as mains.
As dessert we ate Salted Caramel Brownie & Vanilla Ica Cream. Rich chocolate brownie, white chocolate ganache, salted caramel, vanila ice cream and " Macadamia & Raspberry Vegan Cheese Cake. Macadamia and raspberry vegan cheese cake, berry compote.
Went in for dinner and ordered the Little Barrier Island scallops and braised pork belly starters. Both starters tasted great and were very flavourful. For mains we got the braised pork rib and scotch fillet which also tasted great and perfectly cooked.
Score would have been a 5, however, the service could have been a tad more attentive. Like we got our food before our drinks as an example. Also, I feel like the rump should of have had minimal embellishments on the plate like salad or potatoes or something small (not just a piece of steak plopped on the plate. That was definitely a first for me seeing this type of presentation if I am to be honest).
On a side note. It definitely pays to be an Accor Plus member due to the great dining discounts received at Accor restaurants regardless of if you are staying at the hotel or not.
Lovely food and friendly service. The food was delicious and well presented. Sat by the fire and enjoyed the view of the harbour while we ate.
Good quality food and amazing vibes and service. Most mains come with side so well worth it. Steak was well cooked and perfectly seasoned. All sides were delicious. Good wine selection too. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a quiet dining experience in a comfortable setting. I would definitely come back.
Wonderful lunch. The food is absolutely excellent and our waitress, Bianca, a delight. I really appreciate the free bread (which increasingly restaurants charge top dollar for) and the fact that they offer some wines that are NOT from New Zealand. Highly recommended. We'll be back for dinner soon.
Great dining experience. Went there for the Valentine's menu. Dishes were prepared and arranged pleasant for eye and taste very delicious.
However wine serving was a disaster beginning with an out of stock choice without providing alternative and continued with inexperienced service.
Such an incredible dining experience last night! The food, drinks and service were perfect from start to finish. Special thanks to Beth for being the best waitress any of us have had in a long time!
Had a lovely girls night at Lava, enjoying the 5 course degustation with wine match. The food was absolutely beautifully presented and they were able to alter the menu to cater for me (gluten free, vegetarian) with no sacrifices - Often my version of a meal can be a bit lacking, but at Lava, my meal was exceptional, to the point that the other girls were looking at my meals with envy - not because they didn't like what they had, but because my meal was so special! Service was great, decor is interesting and I imagine in the daytime the view over the water is lovely. Am glad Lava took part in restaurant month this year, as before this I had no idea this restaurant existed! Would definitely recommend. Not given 5 stars as the glasses we had the wine match in were really tiny - would rather have a small amount in a normal size glass, than a small glass filled up!
