Pretty good place, very cute place for a couple or date. We came in a big group and it catered very well! We had the set menu which was a OK amount for the price, dishes were full of flavour however relatively smaller than what we would have liked. The drinks are the best here!

The best way to say goodbye to our New Zealand trip! The dinner at Ada was an incredible experience, the place was very cool, the stuff super friendly and try the best maori-fusion food! We sat in the counter and we even had the chance to speak with chef and ask for his recommendations directly! Definitely this was the best way we could end our trip and we only wish we can come back some day! We’ll definitely recommend this place to all our friends visiting NZ!

Managed to skip the reservation and crash this eclectic offering. Wonderful old church, a little spooky which adds to the appeal. Food offerings were exquisitely executed. Service was warm and inviting. Ada is definitely a special occasion destination. A must try on the top of Auckland dining list!

Lovely staff throughout our arrival and service. I initially felt a bit unsure sitting on the high chairs by the chef but it ended up being quite entertaining. Chef Kia out did himself as we love every dish. Went for the bacon fried bread to start with and spotted the friarielli which really brought the dish together. Loved the texture of the potato dough boys gnocchi style dish, had just the right amount of cream but I would have loved more beans/asparagus and less peas. The roasted cauliflower was not as warm as I had hoped but the fennel complimented the dish well and it tasted amazing nonetheless. I would usually have my pork belly crispy so I would probably come back to try the fish instead next time. Also had the pleasure of trying the signature Ada purple lemonade which wasn't too sweet or overpowering, definitely recommend. We ended the night with the chocolate Panna cotta which wasn't really set so it ended up being more on the ice cream side of things. All in all, good experience and a beautiful restaurant with the exposed brick and textured walls. Would likely come back to share the experience with others.

The long lunch is a must of you're in Auckland! They under charge it's ridiculous. Get there before the prices go up. Service was amazing and the place is beautiful but the food is heaven! We had the pleasure of staying overnight so it was nice to just walk up the stairs with over full bellies 🥰🥰

My one and only suggestion for Sunday brunch in Auckland. Delicious food, exquisite atmosphere. (I think the building used to be a monastery.) Arty, chic, upper-mid prices for 2023 (set menu was around $60 per person).

I had the Sunday set menu while staying at the Convent hotel, and enjoyed every single course. Normally this is a sharing menu, but as I was traveling solo, the staff and kitchen kindly accommodated me so that I could have the full experience. The restaurant is buzzy and chic without being stuffy. Definitely a highlight of my trip to Auckland.

Stunning venue, stunning service and stunning food! Might honestly be the best restaurant in Auckland and I’ve eaten at a lot of places in Auckland. Wine selection is great and the portion sizes are the perfect amount! Just go here and try it for yourself, you’ll be in food heaven! Props to the new head chef Kia, he is a culinary genius! 👨🏾‍🍳

Who’d have thought Brussel sprouts could taste soooo good! Beautiful surroundings in this fantastically set out restaurant. Everything on the menu was so well thought through, and was served with phenomenal presentation. Thanks for a great night Ada, i will be back.
