This is one of the greatest little restruants I have ever dined at. The service is great and friendly. And the food....OMG it's outstanding and super yummy. And if you're into vodka matches with your food...this is the place to be at!
Best place I’ve ever dined at! Been to many 5 star restaurants and Topor beats them all. Thank you so much for delicious food and great hospitality!
Beautiful meal as usual thanks Catered well for our visitor from Canada who is Vegan Empty plates going back so that says it all. Lovely food beautifully presented and attentive friendly staff.
Very nice and yummy food, love it, will come back and try other dishes again. This is an only Poland restaurant in New Zealand. I’m so happy that I have a chance to try this.
Amazing food, very talented chef, we will definitely become a regular now we are living near by, looking forward to trying new dishes very soon
The food was delicious and amazing, it was also nice trying something different that I wouldn't usually have. I had the pierogi, which I had seen on TV and always wanted to try. It was beautiful and creamy and had lots of flavour.
The service is lovely and friendly, our server answered any questions we had and was extremely knowledgeable about their drinks selection.
We dined at Topor for our Wedding Anniversary. It was sheer delight. Most importantly, although the restaurant was full, it was quiet and the tables were well spaced and we felt we could dine in comfort and relative privacy. We were attended to quickly and served with delicious garlic bread. We had wine with our main course and although there were tempting vodka suggestions for each meal we stuck to wine. Our meals were cooked to perfection and attractively presented. A bonus was we had lessons in how to say "Bon appetit" and "Thank you" in Polish! Dessert also had a vodka match which I indulged in - a delicious raspberry flavoured one. We left feeling that we'd had a really special dining experience. We will definitely return.
I really enjoyed my meal here. I had the fish it was cooked perfectly. My partner loves the paprika beef, the sauce and pasta are very nice. I would love to go back and try a few other dishes on the menu. The service was great and staff are friendly.
Not sure where to start with this review! Firstly, I'd advise you book. We were lucky to get the last table :-)
This is a small restaurant with 24 tables. As such, you get a very personalised experience. We ended up deciding on having 3 courses, and although I am hardly able to walk, I am very glad we did so!
Food was awesome. I am a particularly fussy steak eater and it was cooked to perfection and the triple ice cream treat was sublime.
As someone once wrote, a fine dining experience does not need to be posh. And that is exactly what Topor is all about. Each course was presented exquisitely, and tasted as good as it looked. The ambience was quite relaxed and we were really lucky to get to chat to the husband/wife team who own the restaurant and cook. Such lovely people who are obviously passionate about what they are doing. We will most certainly go back. Thank you SO much for a really lovely evening. Jo and Tony.
I dined at Topor about 2 months ago, and not knowing much about Polish cuisine I was a little hesitant at first. As it turned out, I had absolutely nothing to worry about! The food is absolutely delicious. I had the Polish sausage entree and followed that up with the Bigos, and both were superb!! The matching vodka with the mains was also exquisite, as was the Polish beer I tried. Service was excellent, warm, friendly and knowledgeable without being in your face. I would definately recommend Topor and we will be back!!
Wow - what a find, thank you Menu Mania! Topor is a first class neighbourhood bistro. We visited for the first time on Friday tea time, with my 5 year old daughter. Every table in this cute, cosy eaterie was reserved - a great sign! I have never eaten polish food before, so didn't really know what would be on offer, and I was delighted to find a menu with such an array of different meal choices. My daughter had the chicken soup of the day with amazing garlic bread - homely and flavoursome! I really enjoyed the minced pork cabbage tools in tomato sauce. My mum loved the stuffed chicken breast with a tasty mushroom sauce, and my dad's duck looked juicy (he would have liked the skin crispy but maybe that's not the way in Poland). Great service from really friendly staff who were run off their feet but dealt with it superbly! We will be back, and next time I'm having the polish stew!
My sister and I dined at Topor a few Wednesdays ago and had an amazing time. The food was absolutely delicious especially the pierogis which I had never tried before. I was recommended pepper vodka to go with my chicken and it was beautiful. Service was excellent and the staff welcoming and attentive. Thank you for the lovely time and we will definitely be dining at Topor again.
Visited again tonight (it’s been a few years) and everything was top notch! Pierogi and choc bomb even better than we remembered and the mains were 👌🏼 10/10 recommend
Steve is awesome. We got a drink and then decided a vokda float would be a good idea as well. And it was. We ordered soup and perogis too just to make sure we ate while we had a drink or two. We will be back to continue our journey through the menu.

We went here for a birthday meal, got borscht and pierogis as a starter. Borscht was very strong and didn’t taste like anything but beetroot, almost like a beetroot wine or concentrate which wasn’t the most pleasant. The pierogi however was very enjoyable with a delicious and well complimenting side salad, however the three we got in the dish were a bit overpriced. We next got duck and fish, and a rolled gravy meat dish. The ducks added potatoes and beetroots were nice, but the duck alone was incredible, the top skin was crispy like pork crackling and the inside juicy and tender like a steak, but better. The fish was creamy and delicious too, and the gravy dish was very good and rich full of mushrooms and went very nicely alongside our potatoes. Our desserts were nice, but the presentation was nicer then the taste. Nothing mind blowing, but still definitely enjoyable. The atmosphere of this place alongside the food was super homey and authentic and our waiter was very nice. Only complaint is that it was quite simply overpriced.
This restaurant is a beautiful hidden gem.
I'm just sad I didnt take any food photos, I'll have to go back soon 😁.
I Loved the water bottles.
Food was deeelicious and the dish matched vodka an excellent choice, really enhancing the flavours, Na Zdrowie!
Went tonight for the first time. In the Top 3 restaurants in NZ easily. Food was jaw dropping. The couple that run the place work so hard! I burnt calories just watching them! And they donate frozen meals to the NICU where my wife is a nurse for people that land in highly stressful situations and get caught short. Love them for that.
But more so their food is a religious experience - outstanding! Hidden Gem - book it gets busy and try it for yourself!
Great presentation and taste is beyond! First time trying out Polish food and will come back for more. Staff is friendly, giving great service. Thanks!
I've always thought about going to this restaurant , and finally we did for our 17th anniversary, the food was beautiful and the desert was to die for. Plus the Raspberry vodka and orange vodka were just so tasty 😋 , we will be back again forsure. Thanks team
What a wonderful restaurant. Friendly staff, food was amazing and the Vodka with every course topped of an wonderful meal. Can't wait to come back. So many other things to try off menu.
From the photos, nice plating, and “fusion” description, you could be forgiven thinking Topor was light on portions or flavour, but you’d be happily wrong like I was.
I’m no Polish food expert, but enjoyed as hearty comforting food there’s little to complain about from our first visit here. We had the pierogis and bigos stew, as well as a bread & pickle plate. Massive serving sizes for the price, and friendly service that answered our questions.
They’ve also got a surprisingly great drink selection! On top of a bunch of imported Polish beers in 500ml bottles, they also have a wide variety of house-made vodka infusions that you can order a tasting paddle of. For winter, they also had a mulled vodka and honey drink called Krupnik that was dangerously tasty. Sadly didn’t have any room for dessert but would love to come back! (or for their separate weekend lunch menu!)
Street parking around, and they’re walkable from the Plimmerton train station.
Amazing amazing place!!
My husband and I never had Polish food before, so this restaurant was our introduction.
It was quiet busy, a small family run restaurant.
The food is gorgeous and we fell in love.
We mostly shared everything, my husband and I.
We started of with the bread, it was quite a range of breads and Dips very filling.
Then for mains, kielbasa hash, loved the sausage.
For dessert we had chocolate bomb.
A very nice dining experience. Shall come with friends next time to introduce them to some polish food.
Thanks
