Very friendly staff. Kitchen can slow when half full but with a view to kill, you will forget the time
Third time for dinner here this year and we will be back again. Comfy service, comfy spot, fantastic food. They aren’t pretending to be budget dining and nor should they ever be. They are good average pricing but worth it and more. We really like La Vista.
It's a wonderful place to celebrate birthday here and mother's day. The best restaurant with delicious and fresh food. Really happy with the food ❤❤❤. Specially the steak 😊😁
The “My Breakfast” is so delicious! That Marsala cream sauce *drool*! Service was amazing and fast. View is outstanding. Would go again, over and over!
They have the BEST pork ribs in Auckland. Flavour is absolutely amazing and they just melt off the bone. We usually order two ribs cause we don’t want to share haha. All other food is amazing, owner is very lovely and great location by the beach.
Have just had a fantastic lunch with my Valentine.
Food sensational, service great, fantastic outlook across the bay. We are most definitely heading back, maybe a dinner next time or a quiet lunch with friends.
Thanks again. See you soon
Pam and me.🍷🍷😎😎🥝🥝
Lovely meal and warm friendly service. In a suburb that can be snobby and pretentious the environment was very pleasant and welcoming.
Children were well looked after, if anything could I suggest that here be a kids meal options that are just small versions of adult meals?
Everything is reasonable priced and made to a high standard. There coffees were delicious and there dark chocolate brownie was incredibly moist and I definitely would recommend this place.
Wandered in for a bite before the rugby. All tables were booked but they could fit us in at the end of the bar. Great seats right in front of the musician. Friendly service from all three staff that greeted and served. Our three dishes were delivered all together as asked. The Andalusian meatballs were the best of the three very good dishes that we shared. Will go again.
Excellent service, delicious food, beautiful setting. Have been here for lunch and dinner. Chicken liver paté with cubes of balsamic jelly is delicious. Fish of the day -- beetroot, wilted spinach, asparagus, snapper -- would order again. Tiramisu is authentic, and I thank you for the generous serving. Great servers, all with a sense of humour. Thank you!
Our favourite cafe in Auckland. Always delicious and fresh food and outstanding customer service. The owner is a lovely lady who takes care of each customer as a VIP. Highly recommend for late breakfast and brunch or anytime really. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Came for happy hour 3-6pm Mon-Thurs. Stayed for dinner and so glad we did. The market fish was snapper and when it arrived was a picture on the plate. The pea risotto complimented the fish tasted great. My friend demolished the large seafood pasta and pronounced it fabulous. Well done La Vista excellent all around.
Absolutely made the right choice when I walked into this cafe randomly on a Sunday morning. Great vibe! Great Food and amazingly friendly staffs. We got a bunch of stuff off the menu and everything was really good. There’s also good options for special dietary requirements and flexibility to remove certain ingredients.
Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quick breakfast or lunch option. They even have an all day Tapa menu which has quite good options as well.
Absolutely lovely! What a gem, a neighbourhood joy. We came from the inner city, here on business, and we were not disappointed. This could have been anywhere downtown. The food was excellent, the service of our Danish waitress was first-class: in fact all the staff were professional, fast, efficient, friendly and fun. We had Patata Bravas, the broccoli, the meatballs and the empanadas as tapas. Then we moved onto the fish of the day, snapper, and two excellent steaks. The beers on tap were superb. For those who can walk round the corner and have a world-class Mediterranean menu just metres from home - lucky you! ◡̈
Last Friday night, my family and I went there to celebrity my daughter's 16th birthday. It was superb. Food was wonderful and the staff were amazing. After our meal the staff bought out their special celebration plate and sang her Happy Birthday. Let my daughter had a memorable day. Thank you.
Beautiful location on the waterfront in St Heliers Bay...lots of the lovely things to choose from on the menu including many Spanish style dishes...staff were super friendly and the prices were reasonable...would recommend
Great food. Excellent atmosphere & the staff are fabulous. Great service. Highly recommend.
Hadn’t been to La Vista Cafe & Restaurant for a while however nothing really has changed apart from it still holding good ground in St Heliers of course. Ran with just a couple of side tapas today being CRAB & PRAWN ARANCINI Served with pea tartare, GF and a couple of hash browns but never less all good. They run a tight kitchen so no major waiting around. Do go try for yourself.
We enjoyed a very nice morning tea. The lemon slice was slightly warmed and my friend was very happy with her large scone. Tea for two, fast and friendly service.
Close to the beach and good coffee. Grab one and sit down enjoy the beautiful views just across the street, the sunset is amazing.
