Room service at the Heritage, it’s essentially the same menu from Hector & made from the same kitchen. The quality of the food was surprisingly good & delicious. The crispy snapper wasn’t crunch crispy, it had very nice flavours and the fish was cooked perfect. The side of Asian Greens need bit more cooking, wombak raw and in chunky piece is not the best, again the flavours was good though.
Went here for a friends birthday lunch looking for good vegan options. Had some good vegan options. Went here at lunchtime and we were the only people apart from one other lady in the restaurant. Good food though.
Was amazing,
Booked awhile in advance for the World Vegan day celebration set menu evening.
Food was beautiful.
The Amuse was delicious!
The Soup was good, very flavorful :)
The Entrée was very interesting, loved the flavours!
The Main was the grand winner, was soooo good, I hope they have this on their actual menu.
The Dessert was very technical and unique and I liked it but I feel like it wasn’t very sweet. After such an amazing flavourful meal I really just wanted a bit a sweetness. But overall didn’t disappoint:)
A++++
An amazing vegan set manu, would recommend:)
Hectors was the first place I ate a full vegan meal at, back in 2013 when I was still vegetarian, and it remains one of my favorites to go for special occasions as the atmosphere is so nice. It's not cheap but I do think you get what you pay for and the menu changes throughout the year so there's always something new when I've gone.

Went here with the Veggee Crew for the Chief Other Half's Birthday day on the 17/04/2018. From the Stella Artois,GL Maker Pinot Gris through to the Irish Coffee we were not disappointed. Come on
Vegans and Vegetarians fill this place up along with your scummy meat chomping mates there's
something here for everybody. I never thought I would see the day the Veggee Crew were completely satisfied from the 9yr old to the 12yr old and the Head of my Heart.
Our menu consisted of the Little Creatures,Fresh Sourdough,olive Platter,HFC Pops,Seasonal Veg,Chive Gnocci,Crosscut Fries, Hazelnut Cream,Choco Delice,Choco Cheescake. That Choco Delicio needs to be shared between two people.
I scored it big that evening so thanks Hector .Friendly staff made the effort. We powered through the entrees and the 9yrs old ordered another HFC Pops which is Tofu and Soya with some cabbage deepfried in a delicious batter.
Give us some New Zealand craft beer Hectors, there has to be someone out there that meets your high standards in our plethora of local brewski makers?
Delicious dessert menu and free valet parking if your meal is over a $100.
Thank you Hectors and long may you be part of the Auckland Eatingscape!
Hadn’t eaten at Hectors for a while, but was keen to try their vegan menu.
Service was very friendly & staff attentive. It was very quiet with only a few other diners.
The other diners mostly ate from their normal menu which all looked delicious but we didn’t feel like we were missing out as our food was tasty & presented well.
For our menu we had a polenta cube with spicy eggplant which smelt really great too. The kumara & asparagus was one of my faves with crispy quinoa giving good texture. The potato dauphinoise was tasty too & mango/feijoa dessert giving a tangy sweet finish.
Happy to have tried this menu & would visit again

I am a big fan of Hector's, they are game changers when it comes to plant based cuisine.
I just had my 21st Birthday dinner there, and the service was exceptional. They even gave me a gift! We had the HFC pops as an entree which were absolutely delicious. The main course was a bit of a let down as it was spicy cauliflower, which I normally love. However I didn't realise just how spicy it would be; it wad one of the hottest dishes I have ever had, far hotter than what most Kiwis would be able to handle. Nobody at the table who ordered it could eat it. It was disappointing as it was the only dish that the vegans could eat and I feel like I was not warned just how spicy it would be. If I had known I would have asked for a different vegan main. It was also disappointing that the staff didn't really do anything to rectify the situation- they tried mixing some soy milk but it was still overly spicy. When no one at the table can eat the dish my expectation would be that at the very least we can have a small discount. Negatives aside, the dessert course was also amazing! (picture attached of what I had!) All in all the service was really great despite the incident with the main, and I had an amazing night. I will still give them 5 stars as they offer a luxury dining experience that, as a vegan, is quite hard to come by, and I will definitely continue to eat at Hector's again and again, however that is the last time I order something spicy from the menu!
Been for both the high tea (twice) and the Monday experimental kitchen.
The high tea had a vegan option which I'm sure is the only one in town! It had a wide variety of foods from savory to sweet and they were all enjoyable. You got to pick a coffee or tea of your choice which made a good 3 cups worth. Such a cute time and everything tasted so much like its dairy or meat counterparts!
The experimental kitchen which was 4 courses was an extremely interesting experience. They have an entirely new menu each week which keeps it fresh and exciting. They typically keep to a theme of a staple 2 ingredients which definitely didn't dull it down at all. It was so cool to see how they would match the ingredient to suit the course. At a modest price of 45 for 4 courses, definitely recommend!
I came here with a group of my friends for lunch on 15 December. We ordered few dishes and a large size pizza. The food was ok, but we really like the restaurant atmosphere more.
We booked in here for Xmas Day and were not disappointed. The food here is out of this world. I had a 5 course vegan meal and each dish was stunning. The flavours are so delicate and intricate that it almost brought a tear to my eye. Do yourself a favour and try this place out!
Great restaurant with many vegetarian and vegan options on offer. Of the ones we tried they were very creative and well executed. Staff were very friendly and service was exceptional. Only gripe was the tempah was too salty but that is probably a personal thing.
Went for the raw breakfast and it was nothing short of excellent. Food selection was substantial and all was very tasty. Coffee was also very good, which came as an added bonus. Staff was very friendly. Highly recommended if you want to experience a well made raw breakfast, in a relaxing environment
OMG Amazing vegan menu! Definitely the best vegan food I have had to date. It was so delicious and creative. All vegans need to come, especially on "Meatless Mondays" where an all-inclusive vegan menu is on offer! Can't wait to bring family and friends. Thanks Hector chef you are just fantastic.
Great plant based menu and service. Staff were lovely although I think they need a little more training on the menu
Really great service, high quality food. Vegan and meat. The sticky date pudding was amazing.
Great vegan dishes! The deserts were amazing
Best vegan breakfast we ever had - absolutely amazing! The choices are comprehensive, there is no vegan or gluten free option missing. The yoghurts and chutneys are dreamlike, so is the gluten free bread. And don‘t miss out on the various granolas, they are delicious! Definitely worth the travel - very decent price-performance ratio. Welcoming and friendly staff.
The food is excellent - especially when you have a vegan and an omnivore trying to have a special dinner. I agree with a previous reviewer though that the decor is very dated which does not do justice to Chef Jinu Abraham's creations. We have been back 4 or 5 times over the past couple of years and always had great service though.

After being let down by no organic food for my Birthday at another restaurant we pre-booked which often has it, I was relieved to find Hectors for our small party. Impressed by gluten free & the organic dish I had exceeded expectations, the waitress managed well to pass on qu's from the chef about allergies, we were not bothered by repeating ourselves over an order for the absent person while he was parking the car...this was no problem.
I would politely suggest to some of the other reviewers to get over themselves - the prices are highly reasonable - no one should be receiving free dining for minor things which are not a problem - not at this price! Atmosphere was so peaceful I loved the view of the apartments & sky. The music was soothing. I would love to go again anytime! The waitresses were doing well at their job & were friendly but did not interrupt our dining conversations - a great skill to have thank you.
A thoroughly enjoyable experience, loved it! The restaurant looks like a movie set - far better than current photos.
Could not have enjoyed this more unless there was a live band and free cocaine.
Elegant. Delicious. Hospitable. Friendly.
The venue is gorgeous and very up market. The service was very caring and smiley.
The food was beautifully prepared and thoughtfully created, although not supreme. The dessert (triple chocolate delice) however was the best I've ever had in my 30 years on this planet.
The wine to accompany (a SB and a riesling) was delightful and to top it all off, it was vegan.
There were groups in suits and couples and friends all seemingly enjoying the same experience.
Go.
