Romantic atmosphere, great service and scrumptious dishes
Loved this place. A small charming place with very friendly staff. Loved the food. Great flavours and excellent presentation. We were made to feel so comfortable. Quite place to soak in the flavours and enjoy the company. Will be going back
Amazing food experience, enjoyed the 5 course testing menu!!! Friendly staff! Lovely ambience! We celebrated our anniversary there, definitely highly recommend it
came here on a 5 course deal with my husband food was good friendly wait staff the venison was both our favourite but dessert was also amazing
Service was okay as there was only one waiter and food was amazing! The place had a lot of mirrors and was very spacious. Price is more on the $$ side but food is worth it!
Had a corporate event here. The food was good and service is good considering we took a lot of tables.
Friendly staff, but not sure about the total cost.

Food at very high quality. Excellent wine list. Service was at top notch. Knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. Highly recommended. Can't wait to come back again.
This place is excellent. For a discerning diner with a sensitive palate. Goat cheese salad and chocolate ganache both 10/10, hubby raves about his blueberry sorbet and prawn starter and lamb Main . Service is excellent, surroundings a bit bland, I would love to dine here again! Over all 9.5, highly recommended
Got a deal from GrabOne. The dinning experience was overall pleasant - great atmosphere, good portion, service was quick and efficient. The scallops, beef short ribs and dessert were awesome.
Got a deal from Grab One, had a wonderful time. Love the dinning atmosphere & great service. Will definitely go again, highly recommend this place.
Oh my my my! Degustation GrabOne on a week night. Not a new building or a contemporary decor by any means but the restaurant exudes old world charm and elegance. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was well balanced, beautifully presented and just delicious. Most enjoyable dinner. Would visit again without question.
Another wonderful meal at Number 5. We can never go past the degustation menu which is regularly updated. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful, the building is charming and full of character and the food is simply outstanding.

Food is so good! Staff very polite thanks for showing us wines that compliments each dish. Very nice place for couples to enjoy a nice quiet fancy delicious meal.
Very private. At first it felt too mature for my liking but as the night went on, it was more relaxed! Our waiter was brilliant, guttered I didn’t get his name but he’s the Irish/Italian waiter with the New York accent, he was the best!! My husband & I enjoyed most of our meals. I wasn’t that keen on my main which was the fish of the day. My desert was ok but my husbands was better lol - go for the trifle! Def dune there again 👍🏾
Thoroughly enjoyed the 5 course degustation. Perfect portion size and full of flavours. Looking forward to going back and try the others dishes.
The restaurant had a great atmosphere, very eclectic pairings. The service was great, quick and efficient. It's vegetarian friendly and has a good portion size. Overall it was a great experience and we would definitely go again.
Quite a lovely place, the waiters were lovely and very French. The first course of carrots was very tasty. Second course was good. Third and fourth were a big let down with my duck so undercooked, it was inedible.
The dessert was the best part of the evening, just brilliant!
Been here for a few time having degustation menu. The food has always been good but not exceptional. Went there last night and had a 3-course set menu instead. I had cured salmon, market fish and sorbet. Each course was very refreshing and flavoursome and I enjoyed every bite of it.
We recently visited this restaurant whilst staying in Auckland and we were very impressed! Service and food were excellent three of us were dining and we all had the Confit duck leg as a main and it was perfect we all enjoyed.
One of the nicer looking restaurants. The atrium is quite nice with a few chairs around a fireplace. The dining area itself also quite small but comfortable. Ambience was really nice as was the service.
The menu wasn't too extensive but there were a few items that were really interesting. I went with the short rib. The food was nice but there wasn't anything that stood out for me. Beef was tender and juicy.
Nice place for a fancy dinner.

I've been past this place a million times, never giving it a second a glance but me and the mrs are "doing a tour of degustations" and this place is highly recommended so we had to check it out.
The ambience is warm and slightly quaint inside with class running throughout. The tables seem to be strategically placed so you don't get that crossover with other patrons, giving you a sense of separation which is nice. Service is your usual standard and more here but I wouldn't expect anything less from a place like this, they definitely deliver.
We had the 7 course degustation with a couple of cocktails. Every course was excellent and delicious, timed perfectly and they even squeezed in an amuse-bouche (which was a clever and decadent fresh oyster with a lemon sorbet) and a satisfying pre-dessert.
Much appreciative of them catering to our time needs, the sitting we had can be done in two hours or if you're not in a hurry (which we weren't) they can stretch it out without nagging you about needing the table after you.
Great place for a top degustation and/or a romantic dinner.
Love this little place..Excellant service and great wine list...Lamb was cooked to perfection and fish was really yum..Strawberry dessert was fresh and wonderful finali!
Nestled in the middle of concrete suburbia is this little gem. Upon arrival you instantly feel warm and relaxed, the lovely servers seat you promptly and run through the menu. We have the 5 course degustation menu which was absolutely amazing. My only issue was that the first 2 courses were very salty. Devine food though and can't fault the service. Would definitely recommend and will be back. Thank you very much!
Lovely restaurant. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and good food. Menu resently changed so a bit surprised as it was different to what was on the website, no worries or concerns.
Would definitely visit again.
Currently having the degustation at Number 5. The service is amazing, the staff are really nice and great. the food is also amazing. The food servings is a bit small for the degustation, leaving some space for all the meal. Love their food. The main dish that my mom got was a lot.
Had a three course meal on a Grab One voucher. The service was very good - the food was nothing short of outstanding. Fantastic presentation, flavoursome and plenty of food. Great atmosphere too. Will definitely be returning.

Nice ambience
Beautiful environment
Great service
Beautiful table layout

Will come back again and would like to have a good meal again.
We revisited Number 5 for a special family celebration after a lapse of several years; its still as great as we remembered it to be. On a cold wet winter night, it was warm and welcoming and the service was absolutely excellent; attentive, friendly, knowledgeable and discreet. The wine list is extensive and superb and the staff were very helpful about what to choose. Our group pronounced their starters, mains and desserts all sublime. We give Number 5 City Rd 5 stars and we will be back soon!
I have been to No. 5 many year me ago so I still remembered the intimate atmosphere and professional services so I decided to revisit this Auckland establishment to see if it still maintaining its former glory. I have to say the experience was OK- nothing special yet nothing wrong with it. In today's Auckland restaurant market, it has to be really special in order to make to the top list.. Also, Number five's frequent discounted promotion might be a sign that it's struggling to be competitive without offering special deals.
Spot on for service but not quite on the food.
I had 5 course degustation deal as a gift from friend. I expected the food to be good from the price and restaurant standard. However I left the restaurant disappointed.
1st -tomato and watermelon gazpacho - It came with 2 prawns and some frozen watermelon in tomato consomme. I like frozen watermelon.
2nd - citrus cures salmon - Not too bad but couldn't really taste citrus on salmon. I like marscapone on it.
3rd - roasted duck breast - Duck cooked well but the portion was so tiny! And it was little salty from feta cheese and sauce that came it with. The puree was good though.
4th - venison loin - Venison cooked well but I don't know what they cooked/glazed beetroot with.It was so salty!!!
5th - chocolate cremeux - Favorite of the night, dark chocolate went well with sour sorbet. Really yum!
Been here 3 times in the last 6 months with the grab one specials
Service is top Knotch and the food beautiful could be slightly bigger portions but flavours were great

Went there for the 5 course degustation on a Thursday night. Its a small red building at city road which opens upto a relatively big space once entered. Inspite of having made a reservation, we had to wait for 10 minutes. This can be disregarded as the restaurant was all booked for pretty much all slots hence tables needed to be cleared.
Upon entering we were asked if we had the booking and what were we having. Our server led us to our table and gave us the degustation menu. Not that it matters too much, but the menu was printed on an A4 sheet of paper.
Menu for the night:
-TIGER PRAWNS, BRANDY with WATERMELON, TOMATO, BASIL
-CITRUS CURED SALMON with MARSCAPONE, LIQOURICE, VANILLA INFUSED CUCUMBER
-ROASTED DUCK BREAST with APPLE, PARSNIP, FETA, MINT
-VENISON LOIN with WILD MUSHROOM RISOTTO, GLAZED BEETROOT
-VALRHONA CHOCOLATE CREMEUX with ALMOND NOUGAT, CHERRY AND CHOCOLATE SORBET
The tiger prawns was a cold dish. 2 massive prawns. Perfectly cooked. The salmon was not my desired taste as I am not a fan of raw fish. But the star of course 2 was vanilla infused cucumber. The duck was medium rare and was melt in mouth. The pairing with feta made the flavours shine. I asked the venison to be done fully. This course again did not do wonders for me although the risotto was creamy and highlighted the beefy mushrooms. The star of the experience was the dessert. Absolute delight. One scoop of chocolate cremeux complemented by another scoop of cherry sorbet. Accompanied by pieces of glazed chocolate and a measly piece of almond nougat. Each and every spoonful bursted with flavour.
My company had the same meal but with wine paired. I would not comment on how it went as I did not get the first hand experience of the wine pairing. As for the food. It was good if not great.
The ambience did not impress me much. It seemed the tables were laid to a makeshift place. The servers were polite and explained each course. Kept refilling the beverages just on time.
Pricewise: On a usual day its $129 per person for a 5 course degustation. One might be able to find deals on grabone/groupon which work out way cheaper. Wine pairing is an additional $60 per person.
Comebacks and returns: I'd say no. Would prefer to try some other degustation. After all its an experience.
The deep purple and white decor finished with elegant cutlery and crockery makes it known you're at a fine dining restaurant. Service is prompt but the staff were slightly cold and lacked enthusiasm.
The food was great. The duck parfait was quite strong but smooth and creamy. My only complaint would be that the ratio of parfait to bread wasn't even so I had parfait left over. The pork belly was fantastic. Beautifully cooked and nicely paired with apple and carrot flavours. The dessert was also very delicious and well presented. Lovely combination of citrus and white chocolate; a refreshing end to the meal. A very classy restaurant but not my favourite fine dining restaurant in Auckland.
I have been to Number 5 many times now and it is always such a treat and lovely. Tonight I had the Duck Ravioli and it was beautiful. The sizes of the meals are perfect and even though with my tiny tummy I still can't finish them I don't feel like I'm wasting much. The flavours of the dish were beautifully complimentary and there was so much duck inside the ravioli it was well balanced with the pasta. For dessert I had the deconstructed Black Forest gateau and it was lovely. It was really yummy and the cherry sorbet was a particular highlight. The service was really good and the waiter was very attentive and responsive to our needs. I always enjoy Number 5 such great food, good service and lovely ambience.
The ambiance of this boutique restaurant was elegant, understated and utterly pleasant. I'm glad I dressed up before dining here! I had the market fish, which was snapper that night--done just right and complimented well by the wine match recommended by our very polished waitress. Definitely try Number 5 if you're feeling a bit fancy.

Very accommodating staff with excellent knowledge of wines. Our four course meal was good but nothing overly exciting. We did have a lovely time even though one of our courses was almost cold when it reached the table. It was very busy at the time and perhaps the food was held up in the kitchen. I guess the excellent service and ambiance made up for the shortfall in quality. We will return and try Number 5 again in the future.
This dining establishment has never disappointed - even with the Grab One voucher! We dined here last night and once again experienced impeccable service and amazing food. Included in the menu was Salmon, beetroot soup, duck, beef cheek and Chocolate Tart. The degustation courses were served at appropriate intervals and the wine and water was constantly topped up without our prompting. I love the quiet and cosy ambience of this wonderful old homestead.. The carpet subdued the noise - I so wish more restaurants had this. We have dined here many times and hope to visit again soon.
We had the degustation menu and really enjoyed it food was great and service was just enough. I would recommend this place for intimate nights very romantic setting. Lovely reminds me of old restaurants back home in Scotland. Classy.... One down side is the toilets they just don't meet the standard expected this is why you only get a 3.5!

Went on a Friday night with the grabone voucher. The 5-courses meal menu was set so we didn't need to worry about anything when we arrive. Food was served not long after we settled down.
Food:
The food was decent, although I couldn't recall anything particularly amazing in the set menu. Funny thing is, I liked the scollops entree and the trio mushroom risotto but not so amazed about the main-- Beef brisket. The main was pretty average as the meat texture was dried up probably due to its beef brisket, the mash potato was however the highlight of the main.
Service:
The waitress and waiters did come and ask us how we find the meals and filled our water cups. However, just after we finished our dessert they took our plates and literally I was about to have a sip of water, they asked us to leave as they said there's ppl still waiting in the lobby.. I felt very rushed and rude, I understand they had other bookings but I paid to enjoy both the food and the atmosphere too.
Overall:
It is a good place for fine dinning and couples who want more private atmosphere. However I personally would be reluctant to visit again if I didn't get the vouchers. Or maybe I would try a different main next time to give it another try.
Went here with four friends for their special 5 course degustation menu. There are no bad things to say about this restaurant.
All courses were presented absolutely beautifully, all came out at the exact right time, and all plates were amazing! Each plate was absolutely heavenly and left us wanting more.
Went to Number 5 on Friday night with a voucher for Mid Winter Xmas 5 course meal. Not sure if people who were unhappy about the size of their meals were big eaters because we left having had perfect amount of food, any more would have been too much, and we had no sides.
Entree was Duck Liver Parfait - absolutely delish, would have eaten a tub for the rest of my meal if given the chance, but then I wouldn't have had the opportunity for the Duck served with Potatoes, Peas, Baby Onions and Bread Sauce. Worth going for this alone. Stand out dish of the menu and one of the best meals I have ever had. Sauce was amazing, onions were perfectly matched for the flavour of the dish and the little bits of duck bacon were to die for.
Dessert was good, not too sweet and overpowering as the whole menu was quite rich and the Mulled Wine a perfect way to finish before going back out into the cold night.
Great service and even better food from start to finish.
We always enjoy our visits - great ambience, attentive staff and wonderful food
Top marks for the Duck and Akaroa Salmon - yum

Came here for dinner with the Mr for our anniversary. The food I have to say was perfect. I can't fault a single thing. The Mr and I decided to share entrees so we could each try. The chicken liver parfait was set in front of me and at first bite I wished we hadn't decided to share - it was melt-in-your-mouth divine!
The other entree we had was the Venison Carpaccio - a rather interesting mix of flavours; in addition to the thin cut meat there was licorice, cherries, hazelnuts and cocoa. This was a dish for the more adventurous so I ended up giving the rest of my parfait to the Mr as he is more on the safe side but the Carpaccio certainly wasn't offensive - in fact, I finished the entire plate even though licorice isn't normally my favourite. It somehow just worked!
We had been considering trying the degustation menu so decided to slot in an additional entree in between entrees and mains that caught our eye to share. This was the Spring Peas. Sounds boring but wow!!! Best thing I have tasted in a long time! Even the Mr who is a carnivore through and through loved this vegetarian dish that was immaculately presented and had the perfect mix of flavours.
The next round was mains - steak for him, duck for me. Mr loved how there were two different cuts of meat on his plate and I enjoyed the duck with its crispy skin immensely. While we were pretty full by the end of that (having devoured every morsel!) we decided we should give the dessert menu a try. While the Hot Chocolate Pot was calling out my name, we went with the more sensible panna cotta which turned out to be a perfect dessert to end a meal such as this one; it was light and contained fruits. Just beautiful.
The wait staff were very attentive without being overbearing and I couldn't fault them at all. They could see we were after a little privacy without losing the ambience of fellow diners and seated us at a quiet table with a view. Mr chose a whisky from the liquor trolley and the staff kindly bought the bottle over when requested so that he could take a photo of his 'new favourite' so he could purchase a bottle to add to our domestic collection.
I would recommend this venue to anyone; this meal to celebrate our anniversary will not be forgotten! Perfect location for a romantic dinner/special occasion.
We celebrated our engagement here 10+ years ago. He must have been sure of my answer with a chauffer, rolls Royce and dinner at Number 5 booked.
Forget the detailed analyses you'll read below - this is a top notch restaurant that is passionate about food and cares about your dining experience. If you are looking for a special night - book a table.
Mr S had a tasty pea entrée - followed by the beef and me the lamb rump with pinenuts and dates on a bed of pumpkin (as you can see - MUCH more attention paid to my own food!)... We shred a selection go 2 cheeses - accompanied but caramelized walnuts, pear poached in saffron and a delicious chutney... the complimentary port was just divine... beautiful aroma and taste... perfecto!!!!
There is a reason they have been doing this for 25 years. Great service, divine food and even a complimentary port with our cheese to mark our 10 year anniversary. Thanks for a wonderful night!
We had a Xmas function here. It was my first timeback after a couple of years but I found the food and service to be of a suitably high standard. No.5 won't push the culinary boundaries, but they don't pretend to. If you want well executed tasty european inspired food, with excellent wine, in a quite setting with good service give this restaurant a go
Had a deal voucher for Number 5.
Very pleasant evening. Good ambiance, tasty food - although portions were quite small.
Waiting staff friendly and attentive.
Would certainly go back.
My husband and I took a business client to Number 5 late Nov 2012. It is truly a 5 star restaurant. The menu is diverse enough to satisfy most diners. The wine menu is extensive and I found the staff extremely knowledgeable and able to suggest wines that were perfect for the courses we ordered. The food was wonderful. Our guest was very impressed with his courses as were we. The restaurant itself is an absolutely beautiful and historical space to dine in. A relaxing ambience and clearly happy diners around us completed a fabulous evening out.
The lovely owner and ALL the wait staff were wonderful to us and I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. We have eaten recently at another "high profile" restaurant and were very disappointed there, not so with Number 5. We will most certainly be back.
What an awesome evening out. Deal voucher - Degustation menu... Wow! Impeccable, friendly and knowledgeable service and wine recommendations. Every course was delicious and just when you thought it couldn't get even better the next course was even tastier. Yes I may have still been slightly hungry at the end but I have a voracious appetite and that wasn't what the evening was all about. Can't recommend this restaurant highly enough for a special evening out :-)
Although not a favourite, I'd still recommend giving this place a go, the food is a little on the pricier side but the ambience and atmosphere makes up for it. the old Victorian style building gives a warm feeling and the staff are all very friendly and prompt.
We tried Number 5 last night and had an exceptional evening. We started with fresh oysters which were amazing followed by the 5 course Degustation menu...each dish was memorable and the service impeccable. We'll definitely be back & would highly recommend Number 5.
A flawless fine-dining experience in central Auckland really. I visited recently with my partner for our anniversary and it suited well as the ambiance is private, very comfortable and the expert service struck exactly the right balance.
I highly recommend the varied Assiette (assortment) of Beef and indeed the beef and lamb dishes are standout.
Love this place! The decor, the food (always try the degustation menu divine!) and the wait staff are attentive but not in your face! They have the knack for good timing in taking away glasses/clearing out plates in between meals.
It's been awhile since I have been to Number 5, I was not disappointed the first time and this time was even better. The food was outstanding and wine was great. It is so good to go to a place were the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. They really know their stuff when it comes to matching the wine to the meal. I will be back and sooner rather than later.Well Done Number 5 and thank you for a great night.
Eaten here many times but not for a while, but friends booked us in for new years eve.
First class food and the matching wines were excellent.
The clear winner was the beef main course which was outstanding. so many elements from the animal and all ate beautifully together. The lemon meringue dessert was the perfect ending.
One small gripe was that they were very busy but the two older ladys at the bar still had time to stand there chatting all night. That said "Manny" was fantastic and really made the night for us.
This is one of our favourite places to go to spend some discretionary cash and indulge our appetite for delicious gastronomy.
I particularly recommend the degustation menu. I tried it one season and I'm still desirous of more.
The favourites - the items which stay on the menu - are good. My experience with the changeable items are various.
One time I had Beef Wellington. I wish I could have more of it.
One time I had whitebait. I made better whitebait plate myself.
Service is excellent, always.
Verdict: I need more money to spend at Number 5.
Hands down the best lamb I have had and that is saying sometyhing! (Lamb and steak is all i ever order). Cute romantic views and friendly staff helped but the food was a great standout for me!
Love your work number five!
Not been here for a while, but wont be leaving it so long next time. Enjoyable from start to finish.
Very friendly relaxed service(from a very young duo) and great food made for a great night out and left my table wondering why there were only 10 people in on a friday night.Big fat scallops and tender venison capaccio where the choice from the entrees, while duck and beef were devoured for our mains. Brave choice to use a cheaper cut of meat in a restaurant of this standing, but it was really nice.Best of all was the desserts, outstanding. Come on Auckland get behind this great little Bistro.
Went here on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner. Lovely decor, great service and a very extensive wine list. Being a beer drinker there were limited options - three to be exact but it made a nice change having wine instead.
Starters were excellent, especially the carpaccio. Mains were good, though a fellow dining partner did find the lamb to be a little chewy and had a bit too much fat on it.
Desserts were amazing. Definitely recommend the Lemon Curd Cheesecake and the brulee.
So 9/10 for food, 9/10 for service and 7/10 for price.
Always a good meal at Number five our steaks were excellent if rather large for our modest English appetites. The starter of Venison was superb we would never had ordered but for the recommendation from the waitress. As for wine the lady really is the best I have had some amazing wines over the years and have never been disappointed. Probably mean not giving last star.
Tony Buckingham
Been here many times and never fail to be impressed.Great service from knowledgeable staff, beautiful food(I personally love the duck entree that the last reviewer disliked. Always a good night out. My favourite in Auckland.
Number 5 has a great atmosphere and exceptional service with wonderful staff who are always attentive (but never overly so). I have a number of food allergies and a gluten intolerance, and it is never a problem to cater for those. The menu is always divine, with great options for vegetarians.
The restaurant was intimate and gave us the best culinary experience we’ve ever had. The service, ambiance, and food were all spectacular. We did a customized tasting with wine pairings and the beef carpaccio, Kingfish, Burrata, and Wagyu hanger steak were some of our favorites. The wine pairings were expertly matched as well. Also, don’t skip dessert! We can’t say enough positive things about our experience and would recommend to anyone.
A hidden restaurant delivering delicious fine dining dishes, featuring local produce and ingredients! All dishes are very well thought out! The kingfish was firm yet melts in your mouth, and the beef cheeks were so tender and soft that you don’t a knife ! Fantastic service and great view of the city as well.
Wow, what a fine dinning experience. Very delicious fusion dishes. Highly recommend tasting set menus with wine matching. Definitely much visit again.
Absolutely DELICIOUS food , staff were very accommodating and looked after each and every need that we wanted , premium food , the flavors were extraordinary , Jack topped up my glass at the perfect time after I'd finished the glass , the waitress was amazing , she had perfect manners and told me exactly where the bathrooms were , my experience here was stunning I will without a doubt be back here again as I would like to try a few more of the dishes , the cocktail with the salted coconut was a beautiful flavour I had never experienced beforehand , Jack had told me the first cocktail may not be to my taste if I wasnt more used to a flavour profile, he then mentioned I might like (and named some cocktails) I chose and I never looked back after taking my first sip , absolutely delectable experience, please once again send my compliments to the chefs , omg the bread and whipped butter at the start was AMAZING flavour profiles went perfectly together
Awesome restaurant for small group.
Quiet and cozy environment.
Good quality service and tasty food.
Had the 5 course, Amazing experience all around, nice quiet delicious place for some quality time, great service too
It's actually 4.5 stars we want to give as we thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience there. The food tastes amazing- not over powering with heavy seasoning/sauce, but finely flavoured, so you can actually enjoy the gourmet ingredients. Maybe the portion of dishes wasn't quite enough to feel fulfilled. But overall we loved the food, and willing to go back.
Good quality food with obvious thoughts put into the plates. However it lacks creative spark as compared to other fine dining restaurants. Also the portion was extremely small for the price.
Some details were off, for example all wine varieties are served in a uniform glass rather than specialised glass for each wine variety.
1st time there and will redo the experience for sure! Passionate executive chef guide us through the meal and for the wine choices. Amazing sourdough bread! The swede carbonara was so light and tasty! Outstanding sorrel dessert with a perfect balance of flavours! Thanks to the team, we will be back for summer menu!
Superb. The waiter added immensely to the experience with a very knowledgeable account of each aspect of the food. The layers of flavour were excellent - we will remember the olive, the pork belly and the strawberry dessert for a long time. Thank you for a great evening.
Beautiful restaurant. Staff very polite and attentive to needs. When making the booking for our party we asked if they could cater to someone who has a auto immune disease who can't eat lactose soy or gluten, they said they will cater to everyone.The food tasted great and the variant dishes were just as good in taste, presentation and thought. Wine selection was excellent for the meal. Enjoyed our night there. Will definitely go back when returning to Auckland.
Really enjoy the food over here. I am very surprised about this restaurant first time we came over because of friends give us voucher then this is the restaurant I come over every months. Food over here is super tasty if you want to try some flavor you never experience before . This is the place to come. Also the service is very nice as well. Very sweet place for date and family dinner.
Ambience plus if you want a leisurely meal and the chance to talk. Carpet and soft decor: you can actually hear! Classic food to a high standard. Lovely service. We enjoyed our meal here as always. Would go more often if the menu changed more. Not huge for vegetarians but you can eat, and they are obliging.
We were six people dining and had the five course degustation menu. Delicious, every single dish was outstanding, sure one of the best meals we ever had.
And the service was impeccable, the manager was very knowledgable about the wines and recommended great matches with the dishes.
We will be back.
Cheers!
We visited with a grabone voucher for the 5 course degustation menu. It was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere and decor was lovely, staff excellent, service timing was just right and food was impeccable. The fig entree and cured salmon was just brilliant. Some times when you use a voucher you are made to feel a bit second class but not here. We where treated as normal customers which we really appreciated. Thank you!
We often dine at Number 5 for a special event. The last one was a 'big number' birthday and we booked the upstairs dining room for 20 guests. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and the setting, the service and the food and wine were excellent ... as always.
