Despite the discount, this is an absolute must visit in Auckland. We stopped by on a Tuesday evening around 4:30pm and it was PACKED! The entire time we were there, there was a constant stream of new guests coming into the pub. What an electric environment with great food, good drinks, and friendly staff. It located in the heart of Auckland’s City Centre and the street it’s located on is also very photogenic. There’s a mix of local business patrons and tourists. So much fun!
Full disclosure, an American visiting New Zealand, reservations recommended.
The Occidental has a certain charm that is unique. From the old building to the staff am hard pressed to put the charm down to a single thing. It is the collection of characters, beers, and menu that as a whole was more than enjoyable.
We had the grilled Oysters app, the fries, the fish of the day (Salmon), Mussels and Linguini. For drinks a cocktails and beer flight. To round it out the Sticky Date Pudding for dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed the beer flight, such a great sampling of Belgium beers. Definitely a place I would return the next time I’m in Auckland.
A must-visit restaurant in Auckland! I love their mussels, it’s tender, fresh and juicy, sifferent flavours to choose. Steak, calamari n fries are also nice. One staff with long hair who is funny, friendly and cute, his charisma lights up the restaurant. Look forward to visiting again
