"Wow! Apart from the delicious food that so yum, small plates and easy to share…the standout feature of this place is its fantastic staff. They are incredibly welcoming, efficient, and always ensure that both my friends and I, as well as any guests we bring along, feel right at home. Moreover, they exude a vibrant and appealing culture of their own, and their happiness is truly evident in their service."
I've visited this place on multiple occasions, and every time has been consistently excellent. I highly recommend it, and it feels like a hidden gem! Whether you choose to sit at the bar, at the front of the restaurant, or in the more rustic and quieter back area, the setting is absolutely stunning. On clear nights, you even get a beautiful view of the Sky Tower. Awesome place for a casual night out or romantic first date

One of the best meals I had in Auckland and my favorite evening while vacationing there. The friendliest staff ever.
Food was excellent. The octopus with puréed butter beans is my new favorite dish. Simply amazing. This is the must-have item. Get this with the warm sourdough.
Arugula and fennel salad was good but I think I chose poorly. The pear in the salad didn’t work for me. Maybe it wasn’t ripe enough.
Great wine list but I’d love to see more local wines by the glass. And maybe some local cheese options.

Some beautiful small plates & a very fine selection of wine 🍷 The staff seem to be a proper crew who care about each other. It brings a really good vibe along with their professionalism and skill. I had the ribs - they were ok… I had hoped for more meat and much less fat - the fault is mine - my selection wasn’t to my taste. Many would have loved the crispy skin and thick textured fat.

The food, wine and atmosphere was amazing! I can’t pick a favourite dish as every one of them was phenomenal, fresh, well presented and cooked well.

We had lamb ribs, broccolini and the fish of the day, the food were absolutely beautiful! I would go back and try other dishes.
It’s a dog friendly little restaurant so be ready there is a dog running under your table and starring at your lamb.

Amazing cheese platters and cocktails. The place looks very unassuming on first glance. However, the food is amazing - well deserving of the high rating it gets in reviews.

Lovely little spot with three intimate dining / drinking areas. The food was delicious and service pleasant. We had a set menu and sat upstairs as a larger group- and it was a great experience. It was hot upstairs, even when we opened the window, and the wait staff struggled to get between the large tables - maybe they should have had a spot for everyone to hang their jackets / bags to make it easier for them to get through?
I’m pregnant with some additional dietaries, and they were so great at adapting the set menu to my needs and my food - as well as the group’s - was really yummy. Also some good non-alcoholic mocktails and options, and made me miss enjoying espresso martinis!! Only thing I would say is that for the group, maybe could have packed out the main meal a bit more / provided one more shared plate for the table. Certainly wasn’t left hungry, but absolutely everything was cleaned up!
All in all, def recommend checking it out!

Managed to get the last table walk-in on a Friday evening. Great food. Recommend the oysters, lamb ribs, and the cauliflower.

So impressed with the Beau team. I couldn’t make it to a friends birthday dinner and the team kindly helped me to organise a special dessert to be delivered to her while she was dining at their restaurant. They went above and beyond to make her feel special. Highly recommend Beau.

Great lil wine bar with amazing service and drinks! Their espresso martini is 👌🏻. Didn't have any wine but was given a sample of the orange wine to try. Was delish! Will be back for full glass. Food was AMAZING. Not a fan of broccoli but it's growing on me and theirs was so good. So is the trevally ceviche and their fried chicken!

Food was good. Service was a little slow, but pleasant enough..
We ordered the lamb ribs (excellent), prawn po'boys and the steak Diane (both ok). Not sure we ordered the best things on the menu.. (apart from the lamb!)

Great selection of wines and funky yet tasty cocktails, tasty food and great to share. Great spot to grab a drink and bites at wine o clock, Such a hidden gem in Ponsonby. Must try their truffle Brie & spiced almond ❤️

Wow. The best food! Full of flavour with great textures and crunchy garnishes. From the starters to the desert Every dish we tried and shared ( I love this format of eating) as a group of five was so good We couldn’t put a finger on our favourite. Beautiful presentation. Great vegetarian options too. Oops I only took a photo of the cheese and chutney (tasted amazing) as we tucked in to the other dishes straight away, they looked way too good! ps. I didn’t even talk to the drinks menu which is outstanding. 10000/10

Everything from the food to atmosphere was great, but Josh was absolutely outstanding as a waiter. Highly recommend coming here!

Great food, no matter what you try. Lovely and friendly service. Totally worth the 5 stars. Place is small but the food and atmosphere makes up for it. Will be back.
Johnny Vulkan
Lovely small restaurant serving tasty small bites and beyond. Try the delicious fried chicken snack with their fries to change the direction of your day for the better.

We swung in early on a rainy Thursday for dinner. We enjoyed a delicious selection of local New Zealand Wines, yummy cheeses (the burrata was amazing), and the freaky friend chicken. Definitely recommend if you are after a nice glass of wine and some small plates. We didn't try their mains, but by the look of the other guests they were amazing as well.
