got the vegetarian breakfast, was good, just cafe just regular cafe food. Service is friendly and and always has good vibes when I come here.
Warm home style restaurant. Not the fancy one but makes you feel eating at home, tasty and relax. Owner was really kind and food was awesome.
Really enjoy the little restaurant, foods are very delicious and service is suuuuuuuuuuper good. Must try the beef as appetizer, chef will cook it beside your table, so interesting. Portions are huge, doesn't have chance to taste the pizza, will try next time: )
Fantastic Home Cooked Meal!
This is not your typical commercialised restaurant. But provides a very at home feel.
Owner was extremely friendly to our table and everyone else that walks through the door. Service is better than what you would expect at a bistro.
The food was delicious too. Best patte I’ve had in a while. The prawns were tasty and friend cheese was yummy too.
The rib was tender and pork belly melts perfectly with rice matched with sticky sauce. Veges are fresh and pizza was made with fresh ingredients also.
Highly recommended. Healthy, delicious fabulous meal.
Felt like I was at moms house again.

Went for breakfast. I had the salmon benedict and wife had the bacon. My salmon benedict was amazing. It was on this potato hash the was crispy. The eggs were near perfect and the hollandaise was really good. The bacon on my wifes meal was crispy. Prices are a tad more expensive but it is quality. I would go back again.
Went for breakfast staff very attentive and friendly
Best coffee and great menu selection had the French toast and eggs benny perfect meal couldn’t fault anything
Definitely be back great place right across road from the beach
A cute cafe, had delicious breakfasts & coffee with friends, (fussy coffee drinkers) nice location & friendly staff. Great for a catch up, we will be back
This is not one of those hipster cafes that are so prevalent in Auckland these days. At the Beach bistro, the food is genuine, homely and delicious. I had the Salmon Eggs Benedict. The hollandaise sauce was rich but not over powering; the home-cured salmon had a hint of sweetness that was just fantastic with some freshly squeezed lemon juice, it would literally melt in your mouth. The eggs were cooked perfectly; and the potato rosti was crunchy on the edges and soft on the inside, accompanied by the fragrant rosemary. The serving size for huge - not complaining!! The only thing that could be improved is the amount of the balsamic reduction. It’s sweetness counteracts with the eggs and salmon perfectly, but there just wasn’t enough of it! Lastly, the flat white was delicious, the flavour of the espresso is clean, unlike some cafes that serve burnt and bitter coffees. The foam was a bit thick for a flat white, but I liked it that way. Fantastic place to eat !
Always great food and great service. Love the new dolce option(coffee and cake till 10pm)
Open till 10pm each night. Bistro nights are also a real winner

went to this place quite often as we live nearby. it's a small but cozy cafe right across the Browns bay beach. me and my parner LOVES this place. it has a great wide range of menu from your fav classic brunch and lunch menu. Great value. and of course, taste to die for.
Food: my fav is the 'PIGGY' or pork belly bennie: what makes this bennie so special is NOT only the pork belly (those juicy, soft and oh so flavourful taste that you can only taste from cooking the meat for HOURS), BUT also the HASH PATTIES! omg, theyre so crispy, flavourful and moist in the middle hash. they have mixed herbs flavor in it; rosemary, thyme and just yummy potatoes! their hollandaise sauce is VERY bright-deep yellow and so creamy. oh Gosh, I could eat it on its own.
Coffee: they make really good coffee, none of that fancy weird taste- fobby coffee. they're just plain good ol' silky coffee that we all like. they make the best soy coffee ever.
Bistro: we went there to try one of their bistro menu on a weekday out of curiousity and being lazy to cook. and BOY I'M GLAD WE DID.
- We had pate as entree and my partner loved it. it was not your normal patè, it has a layer of fragrant and sweet syrupy layer on top (we asked and it was: Housemade eldelflower syrup- YUMM!)
- There were only 2 options for mains: Duck l'orange and Lamb shank. Both comes with potato gratin + Salad. this option for mains change weekly. (Eyeing the next week menu already!)
Potato Gratin: THEY ARE THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD! I mean I LOVE LOVE LOVE potatoes and these two VERY CRISPY CRUNCHY pillows of layered potatoes, cream, and cheese are just crazy. I could go on hours about how perfect they are.
Salad: Salad was very fresh, it has cherry tomatoes, onion and pomegranate seeds. very fresh and light dressing as well, what tasted like lemon, olive oil and honey maybe. def a good balance to the other heavier half (gratin)
Duck l'orange: very moist and juicy duck breast comes w some beans + supper yummy sticky orange sauce. the duck was just really succulent and we love duck- so def no complaint right there. and the sauce was so sticky, citrusy, sweet and almost a gin after taste. BUT OH SO FINGERLICKING GOOD.
now the star of the whole show: LAMB SHANK.
- I am not a lamb fan, BUT I put my faith on the maitre D' and ordered the lamb. and boy I'm glad I did. the Lamb was perfectly cooked: falling apart by the bone, very juicy, SUPER GREAT FLAVOR, and surprisingly no musky lamb smell!! I can taste how much effort the chef put into this dish: the flavor of those sauce: the slow cooked onion, carrot, and HEAPS OF RED WINE. it is just to die for. I was very full at the end of the night BUT I was still shoving every spoonful of sauce leftover. it was honestly that amazing.
we also ordered dessert which was a white choco GF brownie enclosed in a choco dome and flambè w brandy. took a video of it but couldn't upload it here. they were so so nice. the brownie was really amazing and def a great show on a date night.
this place is just our and local fav and I can see why. it's a breath of fresh air that focuses on the most important part of eating out/food: flavor- amongst the hundreds of new hype-hypster fobby cafès. they remind you of a great home cooked meal but with a better look. they put a twist on classic and they do it right.
It's our favorite place in Browns Bay for brunch. We love their homemade hashbrowns and freshly squeezed juices!
Eggs Benedict with salmon and The Beach platter, both our meals were delicious as always. Our meals are bigger size of the meal on the picture as they have option to choose between smaller and bigger serving. Lovely staff and clean tidy toilets. Option to sit outside. Nice view on the beach as well.
I had a steak and eggs with some chips I won't say I will have that again a bit bland however my friend had the eggs with potato rosti and I had a taste and it tasted lovely the smoothie was refreshing. beetroot and ginger and spinach as far as I recall. The staff were attentive and the food didn't take too long to come out

The best cafe in Browns Bay. The staff and owners are very friendly and the menu caters to all tastes. Excellent coffee and vegetarian food options. Both indoor and outdoor seating as well as an area for dogs.
I'm so glad to see this restaurant is open again... It's our favorite place for Sunday morning breakfast. Awesome food, super friendly owners and great service from all the staff. Child friendly and dog owners as well. Keep up the awesomeness Beach Bistro!!
Such a stunning little spot for a gorgeous brunch at the beach. Beautiful views especially if you get the tables right on the road, food is incredible, a little pricey so for us it was a nice treat and so worth it as a Valentine's day brunch date!
Had a nice breakfast with my colleagues there today. Good coffee, good service, awesome views! What else to ask for? :)
Very good service and tasty food. Nice location.
Excellent place! We were there for dinner and had the cream of celery and bacon soup, fish pot pie and bangers and mash. The food was outstanding, the portions were large and the service was good. The coffee was also superb! Steve was friendly and we had a good chat. You can tell they take real pride in their food. They've got local music events on some Sundays and Mondays, but note that the events are ticketed as the place is small. Would love to eat here every day! Excellent!
Lovely local cafe with beach views. Nice to sit outside on a good day. Very good breakfast menu plus their other food. Coffee good. Handy parking but road can be busy. Very nice spot on the weekends. Friendly staff that always welcome you. Has events on Sunday night's like films..music etc not been but sounds great. Recommend
