Great service! Fancy area with older crowd/ people on dates. The decor is standard fancy lol. The portions are small but worth the money because it is very delicious. I would recommend the lamb, truffle chips, raw fish, even something simple like bread was amazing. I have dreams of that lamb it was that good. Honestly we ended up buying so much food because it was that good! The drinks are pretty good too. Would come back again for a special occasion.

Euro bar - finally!!
Service was good and friendly, we were well looked after.
Dinner was great, to snack on we had delicious bread and brown butter which was delicious.
Then had the spaghetti for starters, good flavour and well seasoned. Only problem is the pasta was sooo thick, they should really switch to a capellini pasta.
Mains was the chicken, boring! Nothing wow about it, chicken was a bit dry too. I should have gone with the pork belly. The pork belly looked amazing and soft.
Sides were the fries and cauliflower, yummy!!!
All of the dishes were well seasoned, finally a restaurant that I donโ€™t need to ask for salt, actually the salt was on the table which is a massive bonus.

I went to Euro with my friend last Friday evening to have a dinner. We were greeted by the most amazing waitress. She was very thorough, cheerful and open to our questions or even sharing her suggestions. I forgot exactly what we ordered, but the starters were the most memorable to me, especially the calamari. The calamari was really great that I was too eager to be served the mains right away. There was about a 10 min wait per course so depending on who you are it can be a significant wait or not. One thing that I noticed though, is that it was a bit salty, that I ended up drinking so much juice because your mouth becomes dry at one point. The truffle fries were average, so it might be better to try their other sides and pass on this one. We ordered the chocolate dessert, and I would dare say that this is not a kiddie dessert. It oozed with liquor that it was the most distinct flavour that I picked up instantly. The crumbs on the dessert were really yummy though. The overall experience in this restaurant was very good, and I wish I could have tried their apple dessert.

One of my favourite restaurants in auckland. I once ordered one of every entree between 2 and the waiter didn't even judge me so I can conclude their service is top notch.
If their omelette is on the menu, get it. Just trust me on this one. You will never view eggs platonically again.

Euro was wonderful.

Got in early so the place was fairly quiet which means good service and fast service.

Beautiful venue on queens wharf over look the harbour and harbour bridge

Crispy calamari was delicious. Very well balanced and even though it looks wet is was still crunchy.

The eye filet was a fine main as well. Beautifully presented and packed with flavour.

Beer list small. Ok wine list.

We had a family dinner at Euro during restaurant month. The interior was gorgeous and felt extremely cozy. Our waiter was great, he was friendly and provided good service throughout the night.

I got the duck tacos and they had a nice smoky taste. The hoisin sauce definitely lifted the entire dish in terms of flavour wise. My brother got the Wagyu beef carpaccio and it was presented beautifully.

Next, I got the spatchcock chicken and the portion was quite large. I was extremely surprised that it was seasoned so well because usually Iโ€™ve had flavourless chicken before and itโ€™s not great. My mum got the veal schnitzel and I tasted a bit of it, it was kinda sour from the sauce and I wasnโ€™t much of a fan. My dad and brother got the raviolo and they both said it was a bit too salty for their liking and the inside of the raviolo was cold. However, we didnโ€™t bring this up to the waiter because itโ€™s still edible.

For dessert, I got the vanilla cheese cake cigars and it was very interesting. It tasted really good and the mandarin ice cream was flavourful. My family got the treacle tart and the ginger ice cream was really unique, I had a bit and it was quite refreshing. Overall, a good experience.

If you want and impeccable service then dine at this place and you will be treated like a king the floor staff is just amazing in everything they do but what about their food?. We dined in here a couple of months ago on a lunch time, there were some diners but it was not that busy so we got more attention than normal. It started with the staff assisting us with our jackets and placing it in a cabinet just beside the wine racks. We were then first offered some oysters and I told them I never liked oysters, they told me this is a different oyster and tried to explain their offering, I was sold and tried some.

Another day another dish @pastaecuore . Came here yesterday for my uni grad lunch with the fam and as usual they didnt disappoint. My entire family was very pleased ๐Ÿฅฐ
We ordered a cheese plate to start off which i forgot to take pics of ($29.5), Tagliatelle al Ragu Classico Bolognese ($28), Gorgonzila Spaghetti ($28), Spaghetti ala chitarra all'Amatriciana ($28) and the chicken ragu gnocchi ($27.5)
My fav still remains as the gorgonzola spaghetti with its rich creamy sauce and pungent gorgonzola flavour, however the other dishes were all soooo good. For those of you with grandparents who have sensitive teeth, the gnocchi is a go too, my grandpa found it easy to chew and loved the flavour. For those who don't like creamy/ flavours that are too rich, the Amatriciana is spot on since its sharpness cuts through the fatty pork. And ofc the no one can go wrong with the classic bolognese ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ

Went to Euro for the first time to try out the 3 course special lunch menu at the moment, which starts at $29.95 and features truffle in every dish. We were seated outside in the sunshine overlooking the wharf, which proved the perfect setting to consume copious amounts of truffle. โฃ
โฃ
๐‘๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ญ๐ญ๐จ- The truffle and mushroom risotto was the easy star of the day. This gorgeous risotto took creamy to a whole other level thanks to the mascarpone, and had a delicious mixed variety of succulent and tender mushrooms. The truffle was grated generously on top and dominated flavour-wise, which was exactly what we wanted. Only downside Iโ€™d say was the raw slices of mushroom on top - Iโ€™m actually one of those rare individuals who enjoys raw mushrooms, but they were ill-fitted to this context. 9.5/10โฃ
โฃ
๐‚๐ซ๐จ๐ช๐ฎ๐ž ๐Œ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐ข๐ž๐ฎ๐ซ- This was basically a gussied up truffle cream toastie. The bread was one of my favourite parts - brioche loaf that was slightly crisp and caramelised on the outside and soft and pillowy inside. The truffle cheese sauce was delicately herbed with chives and had a subtle, creamy flavour to it. As veges of course we ordered this senza prosciutto but to be honest I think this removed a zing factor - there was no really dominant flavour and it was lacking the normal level of cheese Iโ€™d expect from a croque monsieur. Still it earned a solid 8/10โฃ

๐“๐ซ๐ฎ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ซ๐ข๐ ๐š๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ข- This was another simple meal, and basically a great example of simple pasta done right. The rigatoni was cooked so al dente I actually felt like I was in Italy again, and the truffle sauce mixed with the egg yolk to make a juicy sauce that provided enough flavour (along with the grated pecorino) to make it deliciously moreish, 8.5/10โฃ

We came here with a First Table reservation for my birthday dinner. We ordered the Atlantic Scallops w/ Sweetcorn, BBQ Banana Prawns and Mussels, Slow-Cooked Pork Belly w/ Summer Beans, Day-Boat Caught Fish w/ Tomato, Agria Potato Puree w/ Truffle Gravy, Broccoli w/ Blue Cheese Butter, and the Pistachio Cake, all to share between the two of us.

My favourite dishes were the entrees (prawns and scallops) and the sides (potato puree and broccoli). They were absolutely delicious and I wouldโ€™ve loved full main sized portions of those, as I feel like the mains (pork belly and fish) werenโ€™t that amazing. I wasnโ€™t the biggest fan of the flavours in the pork belly and it was quite hard to cut into and eat and the crackling was very hard.

Service was very friendly and attentive, I was pleasantly surprised when the dessert came out as I didnโ€™t give any notice that it was a birthday dinner, however my mum asked them to write a little message on the dessert when I had excused myself to the bathroom prior.

A beautiful dinner by the water.

I really love this place. The service is immaculate and I being Asian and a little tight with the coin purse - love their $29.95 3 course meals and bluff oyster specials.... theyโ€™re almost โ€œgiving backโ€ and thatโ€™s nice...
Iโ€™ve been here for quite a few degustation with wine matched events too, which Iโ€™m also a huge fan of.
If youโ€™re looking for an impressive date or a cheap meal - this place strangely has both! Thatโ€™s what I love about it.
God, you must try their smoke infused whipped butter (with the bread of course) I think itโ€™s about $9 and o promise you wonโ€™t be disappointed- it may almost be your favourite part of the meal (not in any way discounting the deliciousness of the other items on the menu)

This was my first time to dine at Euro. The restaurant is a higher price point than other restaurants, however they delivered on all fronts of exceptionally high quality presentation, meal deliciousness and service. All of the meat was cooked to perfection. The service was very warm and conscientious , and we were treated to a very high level of attention and care. Kids loved it. Euro is the best restaurant I've rated.

Came here on a First Table booking, which allowed us to get essentially a 50% off. Firstly, the service and ambiance is excellent, and you definitely get your moneyโ€™s worth for the price.

The food is quite good - I especially liked the sauces they used for the fish. However, itโ€™s definitely not worth the full price.

I would come here on a First Table booking, but under no other circumstances do I see myself coming here for the full price.

Been here twice and thoroughly enjoyed both my experiences.
The service here is lovely and the food is amazing. The atmosphere is very fitting for the Viaduct - almost feels like youโ€™re on a cruise.
My favourite dish so far is definitely the duck confit - but there are so many other dishes they are amazing like the scallop entree.

Highly recommended to come here especially for a nice occasion.

Booked as part of First Table experience where you get 50% off the bill. Total bill was approx $400, 50% total $200 split between two couples $100 for the evening was not bad! This include few rounds of bluff oysters/ cooked bluffies. Mains, two shared desserts and cocktails each.

Went to Euro a few months ago during their Winter lunch special which at the time was their duck menu.
There was a nice selection of duck dishes on offer with the duck sausage being my favourite but overall the dishes would rate 3/5 stars for me.
What makes the overall rating 4 stars was the service from the staff.

Great ambiance, food and service.

The beฬarnaise accompanying the Wakanui scotch fillet was delicious and the steak was perfectly cooked. We also tried the agria potato pureฬe with truffle gravy and the broccoli with blue cheese butter and toasted hazelnuts. The mashed was unexpectidely flavourful and the broccoli had unusual elements which all blended together very well. My friends tried the fish of the day and the eye fillet and really enjoyed it as well.

The only item that we didnโ€™t quite enjoy as much was the squid with peanut miso aioli, toasted peanuts and Korean chilli. The chilli powder tasted slightly artificial and overpowered other flavors.

Iโ€™d be happy to go back to Euro and try more items off the menu or happily order the scotch fillet and mashed potatoes again!

Excellent food, lovely premises and attentive service. We tried their crayfish cocktail, crayfish quesadilla, a whole crayfish thermidor, schnitzel, fries, kidsโ€™ fish and chips. They were all perfectly cooked. The crayfish was a real treat with lovely flavour - the sauce with a little mustard and salt complements the crayfish meat. The quesadilla was tasty and cheesy. The schnitzel was flavourful and the meat was tender with the right thickness. The fish and chips was good. The snapper was perfectly cooked with crunchy batter and the fries was delicious too. Great dining experience for us.

My partner and I were promptly greeted when we arrived into Euro, and we had a very attentive and friendly waitress that cared for us during our dine.

We had a three course meal where each course came out nicely timed. I did find they have a very interesting and different way to put each food together but they were all tasty.

My favourite was my entrรฉe pigโ€™s cheek with a side of scallop, scallop was so juicy and pigโ€™s cheek was soft.

I ordered a chicken dish for a main and the chicken looked like it had been poached, which was a bit different for me. The chicken went really well with the wine sauce.

My partner had a chocolate tart for his dessert, I ordered the carrot cake for mine. I was a bit jealous of my partnerโ€™s choice as his was sweet and rich, whereas mine tasted sweet but also healthy, and I prefer the former when it comes to desserts.

The place is elegant with tables filling up fast even on a weeknight. They have a very spacious and beautiful bathroom as well.

The guy serving us was great in terms of his menu recommendations, service, banter and everything else. The appetiser highlights were the fresh oysters, kingfish and fried squids.

Came here for lunch with my husband. We were given the bread with brown butter to start with. The bread was delicious, very fresh with a nice crispy crust and the butter was amazing! I have never tasted butter that good before.
ย We shared the duck pancake for an entree. It was great, the duck was very tender, the hoisin sauce was delicious but could have done with a bit more sauce.
ย For main I had the Scotch fillet with red wine jus and bearnaise sauce with a side of pureed potatoes with truffle gravy. The steak was not medium rear how I asked for but more medium-well. It was still very juicy and had a nice flavour, I really like the jus as well. The truffle mash was fantastic, loved that rich gravy with it. Perfect for winter. Our waiter asked how our meals were and I said very good but my steak was over done, he apologized and said they would make another, I said no it was, I had had enough and didn't want to fuss and that I had still enjoyed it. The host then came and apologised too and said they would make another but I again told him the same thing.
ย We then ordered the chocolate tart for desert with dulche de leche and milk ice cream. It was fantastic! By far the best desert I have had in a long time, not to rich or sweet, delicious flavours and I loved the milk ice cream. The host gave us the chocolate tart on the house to apologise for the steak which I thought was very kind of him.

I thought the service was very attentive and we were looked after very well. I would love to come back again, especially for that chocolate tart!

Dinner here for restaurant month was a winner. The set menu options were fun to choose from. I went with the pork belly entree, snapper main and choc tart dessert and was a happy girl with my choices.

The pork belly and scallop dish looked small and underwhelming when it arrived but it was packed with flavour. The pork had a thick layer of skin or some sort of crackling and a good amount of fat and tasted very rich, so the small portion was perfect. I liked the hazelnuts it was covered with too, something a little different.

The snapper was perfectly cooked and went really well with the celeriac puree and fennel. Loved the crispy salted skin on top but a little bit on the too salty side.

Chocolate tart came with milk ice cream and some sort of salted caramel paste. I was surprised by how much I loved milk as an ice cream flavour - who would've thought. It's on the savoury side and along with the salted caramel it was balance out nicely by how rich and smooth the tart itself was.

Also pictured are the baby goat jaffle and carrot cake ordered by my friend.

Service was pleasant and attentive, water topped up regularly and not a lot of waiting between dishes.

The epitome of fine dining! Came here for an early birthday lunch and was not disappointed! Was given an ideal table on the patio which was nicely heated. Service was impeccable. Highly recommend ordering a passion fruit mojito - not on the menu but delicious! I had the confit pork belly with Brussel sprouts - pork so succulent and sprouts cooked perfectly and full of flavour. Had the broccoli and truffle gravy mash on the side - so good! Finished with the feijoa pavlova - a must try itโ€™s so light and the valrhona choc tart which was a twist on a lava cake and super yummy too! Over a top experience and canโ€™t wait to come back!

We entered through the door nearest the kitchen and our server happened to be right there placing an order. I said โ€œwe have a reservation for 5:30โ€ and she knew who we were. A quick confirmation with the Maรฎtre Dโ€™ for table number and we were seated with menus and water. The service is a seamless team effort. We placed our order, the busboy adjusted the table, then he and a runner correctly placed our orders, without conducting an auction at the table. The wagyu beef and the Peking duck were superb, as was the broccoli with blue cheese and walnuts. Glasses of Louis Roderer champagne and waiheke man oโ€™war and we were sorted. A fantastic fine dining experience where people at a nearby table were in T-shirts shouts that this is the best place for your ordinary bloke/couple to get to get a high end feed without any fuss. Brilliant. We will definitely go again.

Took a close friend here a little while ago for her birthday as she always wanted to try it and it was a lovely evening the premises was lovely and the lighting was perfect. Our waitress was well deserving of her tip and the food including the bread was divine. I couldn't finish all of my food sadly but I gave it a good shot. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the overload of nuts in the coleslaw with the chicken. It would of been perfect without them or with a lot less of them.

We spent about $300 or just under for 2 including drinks.

Had the 3 course duck special for lunch on Sunday. 2 choices for entree, 2nd course a duck pho, 3rd course had the option of spending additional $15 for a half a duck a l'orange which my wife chose, or a duck breast. I had the duck sausage at no additional cost. All dishes were very good and the optional half a duck was indeed half a duck & my wife said was very tasty. Excellent value and very good service.

What doesn't change is the formal yet friendly service - our waiter this time (I think his name was Benjamin?) was very funny and always had a line to make us laugh, as well as being very patient and informative through our many questions and hmmming and aaahing.

The highlights for me this time were the Chinese Peking duck, so tender and filling and made scrumptious by the hoisin sauce, and the Raglan day boat fish, which to the eye is quite standard but is delicious and beautifully cooked.

Can't wait to go back again!

Came here on a Sunday night with a group of 4. We were seated outside with the harbor view and dim lighting which was really nice. The service was good as the waiter just refilled our cups and gave us the menu, and explained the size of the dishes we wanted.

Starters - Scampi, wagyu beef carpaccio, oysters. The scampi and oysters were really fresh and when you add pepper and the lemon juice to the oysters, it tastes even juicier. The wagyu beef, salty yet acidic, was really flavorsome and amazing. The thinly sliced beef, perhaps a bit too thin, melts in the mouth.

Mains - lamp rump, slow cooked chicken breast, pork belly. The lamb was the favorite of the day for me as it was cooked to medium rare. It was very tender and soft which even the slightest bite would go through the meat easily. The bacon crumbs and the puree with the red wine sauce was spot on.
The chicken was also tender with a lighter taste contradicting the lamb. Its purรฉe tastes fresh like its full of herbs.
The pork belly, although crispy on the skin and surface, was a little dry on the inside. It was a little bit over cooked but the completely burnt carrot (skin) and dried raisins added the extra sweetness to it.

Desserts - Yuzu curd & coconut, chocolate terrine, creme brulee, pavlova, panna cotta. The best desserts Iโ€™ve had in a while. The yuzu curd has a cold sweet & sour flavor to it. Creme bruleeโ€™s raspberry & lemon sorbet adds an extra kick. Pavlova was crispy on the outside and very sweet and soft on the inside. Panna cotta was my favorite of the night as it has a chocolates sweet flavor to it. And the chocolate terrine has a very dark chocolate taste, but if you eat it as a whole, itโ€™s not that bitter.

Taste - 9/10
Size - 8/10
Price - 8/10
Service - 8/10

We were greeted and served by a very friendly lady from start to finish; she was so lovely and attentive, I really wanted to know her nameโ€”thank you for the amazing service!
We got a dozen oysters, Seared Beef Carpaccio, Torched Diver Scallops, Hand-Cut Parpadelle, Raglan โ€œday boatโ€ fish, Confit Pork Belly, Forever Evolving Butcherโ€™s Cut, and side of Stem Broccoli with blue cheese dressing and walnuts.
โ€ข Oysters were inevitably fresh, though we really came for the bluff oysters but unfortunately they were out by the time we got there (5:30pm). Nonetheless they were refreshing, albeit a bit too many small broken shell pieces inside.
โ€ข Seared Beef Carpaccio was amazing! Full of sophisticated flavours, with cheese, fried bread slices, radish, and smoked yolk! The yolk was a very interesting and unique touch. Generous portion and incredibly tender too!
โ€ข Torched Diver Scallops were succulent and broke away with a gentle bite. The Granny Smith apple cubes lifted the freshness of it, and the crushed peanuts in a small bed of coconut curry paste was delightfully tasty.
โ€ข Hand-Cut Parpadelle was flavoursome with a strong kick of seafood. However it felt a little lacking in something; perhaps something cheesy or creamy? Itโ€™s mainly tomato/based.
โ€ข Raglan โ€œday boatโ€ fish was a little bit unexciting, but the fish was cooked to perfection! The mushroom purรฉe had subtle smoky flavours pushing through, but the burned sautรฉed onions on the side was a bit overpowering.
โ€ข Confit Pork Belly was good! Extremely tender and the carrot purรฉe and burnt carrot complimented it very nicely! However also lacking in seasoning in the Pork itself, albeit beautifully presented!
โ€ข Forever evolving Butcherโ€™s Cut was the 500g Lamb Rump; the star of the show for me! We requested for medium rare and it was cooked to perfection and amazingly juicy. The subtle smokiness was sophisticated but not overpowering and was extremely satisfying. I personally would recommend anything from their Cuts section!
โ€ข The Stem Broccoli with blue cheese dressing and walnuts are a must if youโ€™re into strong, bold flavours and textures! Perfectly smoked broccoli that was crisp yet tender, and the blue cheese dressing was full of flavour. The crushed smoked walnuts was an absolute delight with every mouthful; satisfying crunchy and really complimented the broccoli.
โ€ข Yuzu Curd + Coconut is one of the best desserts Iโ€™ve had in Auckland! Creamy yuzu slice that was soft and buttery, complimented by a really mild and light coconut cream and fresh blueberries for a tangy and fruity lift! The edible petals were also a beautiful touch.

Overall, I would definitely recommend their Beef Carpaccio, Scallops, anything from their Cuts section and the Yuzu Curd + Coconut dessert! Service was perfect from the minute we stepped into the restaurant, ambience is amazing (even the toilets!), and definitely worth every dollar.

As an oyster lover, itโ€™s absolutely a fantabulous experience. Waiting for bluff oysters for so long. It felt like heaven when the first one slip into my mouth. Pure happiness. Iโ€™d say itโ€™s the best oyster that Iโ€™ve had so far. It goes so well with the chips. Pity they have limited one dozen for one person. Iโ€™m up for the oysters buffet next time. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.

One of the best spots in Auckland to have lunch or dinner by the sea. Just be careful that the sun have no mercy of the ones sitting on the open area by the "grass".

Couldn't try the set menu as unfortunately it is only available for lunch, so me and my boyfriend got a couple of entrees, two mains and a pair of desserts.

The scallops were beautiful, fresh and with an Asian twist, but the prawns that came along with the other entree were overcooked. That was the only big mistake during the whole meal.

First main was pork with carrots and a beautiful puree, silky and delicious. My scotch fillet was awesome, cooked to perfection.

Couldn't say less about the desserts. The pavlova with passion fruit sorbet was very well balanced, and the creme brulee was just great with thin slices of peach.

Service was also good. The only problem was that there was a big 30 min gap between entree and desserts. I also think some of the dishes are overpriced (oysters for $5.50? No!), but sometimes that's the price to eat with the harbour by your side.

Easily one of the best European dining at the viaduct: excellent food, service and ambience. Had some Bluff oysters and the degustation course. Never had a meal that I was absolutely pleased with from the very start till the end. The degustation course takes 2+ hours to enjoy. Must visit when in Auckland.

Food: Excellent quality and presented well. Portion sizes are very small, especially the mains. The desserts here are amazing, I usually don't like Pavlova but the one here is far above average.ย 
Service: Had to wait a bit to be seated. The owner (guy by the till) is really cool, as are most of the waiters. One older fellow wasn't that friendly though. Wait times for the dishes weren't long at all which was nice.
Ambiance: Very nice location by the waterfront, place is really clean and quiet.
Overall: Good experience, not really worth the price except for the desserts.

Very fresh seafood presented beautifully ~ ordered: diver scallops, handcut pappardelle, marketfish and clams and buttered crayfish. The best part about everything is itโ€™s all very very fresh and cooked to the perfect level. The scallops were small but tasted so smooth with the cauliflower purรฉe. The pappardelle was filled with crab flavour and herbs. The fish was cooked well and the clams were to die for. The juice from the clams was so fresh!! Unfortunately, the sauce for the fish and crayfish was too overpowering and took away the seafood taste. The crayfish was a let down. Very small and overpowered by everything else on the plate.

Started with ceviche and Korean chilli squid, mains of Te Mana lamb and crispy pork belly, finished with warm apple pudding - all great!

Have heard many good things about Euro years ago, and finally went to celebrate birthday dinner. Never been Euro before as there are so many different restaurants to try in Auckland these years, and I actually enjoy trying something new and interesting. Euro is always on the list back to few years ago, but feels like too expensive/high classic to try in my type of restaurant list. Have to say even the restaurant design, food presentation is not as amazing as what I expected, the food is nice, portion size is big- I order too much as I thought the size would be small. The service is great. When I first arrived, the waiter who served us is little bit too professional for me, I actually like little bit more casual, warm and friend service. Then a French waiter took over the table,and he is friendly and funny, and I believe that's what restaurant service should be. Thank you for a great night in Euro.

My first time at Euro was for a work lunch about a year ago, where I was treated to a range of high quality food and top-notch hospitality.

Euro seems to have a range of seasonal (or daily?) specials that are worth asking about. To start, I had a croque madame-type dish with egg and whitebait fritter. I loved the runny fried egg on top, and the brioche they used was simply sensational. It was surprisingly filling, too.

For my main, I chose a seafood pasta that had a good amount of spice. At fine dining venues, you normally expect small plates with big price tags โ€“ so it was refreshing to find that I was given quite a decent portion. Wouldโ€™ve loved chunkier bits of seafood, but all the flavours and textures on the plate were definitely keeping my palate occupied and satisfied.

We ordered a bunch of sides too (broccolini, mash potatoes, and fries) which were solid dishes to share and fill us all up.

By the end of our meal, I was too full to go for my own dessert โ€“ so I tried a little bit of everyone elseโ€™s. The coconut tapioca had a foam element to it and was a bit citrusy/sour with fruit at the bottom. A nice, light choice compared to the rich (but delicious) chocolate fondant that was popular with our table. There was also a pear and caramel dessert that caught my eye; it looked a bit weird but also quite tempting too!

All in all, I had a memorable time at Euro and judging by their websiteโ€™s menu it seems like there are some new dishes for me to try next time.

Knowing that bluff oysters in New Zealand were in season, we dropped by Euro with some friends for a post-lunch oyster feast.

Came here for lunch on a very busy Sunday. The wait staff were awesome and attentive. We ordered bluff oysters as an entree, and as someone who doesn't eat a lot of raw seafood, I really enjoyed them. Very fresh and simply presented too. We also got the bread plate for entree, which came with an interesting caramelised butter. Great portion sizes for sharing on a table.ย 

For main I got the Crispy pork belly with tua tua, green tomatoes and chili. This was really delicious. The pork belly was well cooked, and the tua tua were a nice addition. The greens on the plate were well dressed, and there was heaps of coriander in the dressing which was amazing - added a tanginess to the dish.ย 

We also ordered dessert - I shared the Ricotta Cheese Cake with my partner. Lovely texture and creamy flavour. Overall had a great dining experience at Euro and would definitely recommend the place for a special occasion

Went here for my birthday lunch and I can say that it was actually really good.

The service is superb. We were welcomed and seated promptly. Ambience was excellent and the weather was good as well with the view of the wharf.

The pork belly was really soft that it melts in your mouth. Had it with a side of potato mash and bone marrow which was average. The tropical treat drink went well with my pork for I just wanted something non alcoholic.

Girlfriend ordered the chicken which was full of flavour and really soft as well. She finished her plate which means she definitely enjoyed it.

I would recommend to get some of their bread as a starter which was surprisingly good.

Lucky was able to try their dessert. And would highly recommend it as well!:)

I chose to dine here with my brother for my 21st birthday dinner, courtesy the parents (who live overseas). The service was fast and friendly. My brother and I were a bit daunted when it came to ordering, but our server that night was lovely. He was patient and funny, helping us decide on what we'd like, keeping our appetites and preferences in mind. We ended up having freshly shucked oysters (my brother), and Peking duck leg and breast (myself), for starters. The food was divine and excellently prepared. We followed with woodfire roasted chicken for him, while I had Hawke's bay lamb, rack and belly. Again, expertly cooked to perfection. And I'm not really one for lamb, but I could not get enough of this! As a person with a relatively small stomach, I managed to fit in a starter, a main, AND a shared dessert of molten chocolate fondant. It was heavenly, and I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate my big night. If you're looking to splurge on a fancy evening out and want a bit of pampering, look no further - Euro is the place to go.

Thanks to children's Xmas voucher we dined at Euro on Saturday night, my first time here, my wife has been before, so looking forward to the experience.

Met by David who became our server, extremely good at his job, great knowledge of the food and wine list and was very friendly and attentive, top marks to him for making it an excellent evening. Breads to start and that set the tone, crisp crust soft bread and a delicate butter set the standard for the meal and it did not disappoint. After a lengthy decision process I went with the Yellow Fin Tuna Entrรฉe', my Wife the fresh Oysters stunning start to dinner. The Tuna was awesome and served with an Avocado whip was simply stunning, the Oysters lived up to the hype as well.
On to the main, I went with the rare steak with sweet breads and Broccoli, would rate as the best steak I have eaten, cooked as I had requested and with crisp vegetables and a beautifully subtle sauce this was just amazing, my lovely Wife went with the lamb rack and was similarly impressed with the taste and quality of her meal.
Desert was a chocolate pudding with ice cream and berries, cut into the pudding and a decadent liquid chocolate sauce flowed from within, very rich but a great end to the meal. Finished with a Irish coffee a great way to finish a simply superb meal. Beverage to start and with Entrรฉe, as Kirin a favourite beer and a lovely Pinot to go with the main.ย 
All in all this was a very special night, a couple of hours of decadence which we enjoyed immensly and will definite go again and recommend it to others

Walking into the pre-booked 8PM dinner for two, I was presented with an option of inside or outside, I picked outside, which included a white setting accompanied well with hints of green from the plants boxed up on the outer rim of the restaurant.ย 

Menus were placed at the table, along with a short presentation from the waiter/sommelier extraordinaire, Alastair! Tap water did us fine throughout the night, but to set things off in the right motion, I picked a Maroni Espresso Cocktail, essentially a beautifully tasty and well presented espresso martini with a hint of cream on top! My sister went with the Man O War Rosรฉ, which lasted her the night. However I moved on to bigger and better wines!

We both decided for the starter that the Scallops would assist us nicely in filling ourselves up, and easing us into an already beautiful night. Although before that, we opted for the Handcrafted bread and whipped brown butter, which was no other word other than delectable. Oh, and filling. The butter, while brown, tasted like any normal butter. Although, before tasting, my sister and I both came to the assumption that it would taste like mustard. How wrong we were!ย 

The breads were also amazing, given, itโ€™s a 5 star michelin star worth restaurant.

Next along came the scallops, grilled, with curried mussels, and other little goodies. Which Alastair the good man paired with a glass of Mishaโ€™s The Starlet, which gave the perfect acidity to the scallops, while easing down the harshness of the curry. Overall a lovely dish, which goes into the recommended list!

For the main, I chose the scotch fillet, with a pea puree and mushrooms. Overall the dish was impeccable, although my only minute fault would be the coldness of the puree, I tend to keep my main meals warm! The wine paired by Alastair was a french red, which from what he informed me now grows in Uruguay and Portugal.ย 

My sister went for the chicken, which also is a recommended dish, paired with quinoa tabouleh and light greens. And from what I tasted and was told was absolutely gorgeous and light.

We also chose a side of french fries, which were beautifully cooked, although perhaps too much food after two filling dishes!

We chose for dessert a light and delicate strawberry and ice cream, which composed of a strawberry ice cream, candied strawberries, elderflower pannacotta and my favourite part, crumbled butter shortbread!ย 

I had with this a champagne cocktail, which was recommended by Alastair as the sweetest option.ย 

I ended the night with a delicious espresso, which perfected every part of the meal for me.

Overall, the night was perfect, high end and delicious. I would definitely recommend this restaurant not only for the food, but the service. 100% I have never had better more personal service than this such restaurant. And both my sister and I hope that Alastair reads this, and recognises his hard work is not only paying off but giving the best impression for an already amazing restaurant!

What a transformation this stalwart in the Auckland scene has undergone...and it's for the better! New decor without feeling like a totally different restaurant, but brought into the modern age. I was really impressed on my last visit at the new menu...the chipotle butter risotto I ordered...

Came for Birthday dinner with friends. Beautiful setting and a warm friendly greeting. The portions were not consistent, my husband had the duck which was to die for and a huge portion, however my friend had the ceviche and it was gone in seconds. The prawn entree and green gazpacho were both incredible. Whe it came to mains, again there were inconsistencies in portion size and appearance. They didn't look like they came from the same eatery, the scotch fillet was huge as was the Dover sole (albeit there was a bone), however the other fish dish was tiny (and a scale was found) and the cray fish was also quite small for the price, it was very rich and really should have been served with an ingredient that cut through the richness. All said the food was as expected. Although the food was ok there were a few improvements that could have bee made with the service. Chairs were not pulled out for the ladies, napkins were not placed on laps, cutlery was not polished and the waiter leaned in front of me when pouring wine to my husband, just did not meet my expectations for a fine dining restaurant on Auckland's waterfront. Would still recommend for anyone that desires a good plate of food as long as they have $$$ and not too high service standards. The waiter was very good at describing our plates once they were on the table, but we found this a bit OTT, considering the overall dining experience.

We visited on the 28th for a late lunch as we were craving some of the familiar Euro dishes we've enjoyed in the past. It wasn't until we ordered our drinks we realised the menu was completely new. No steak, no salad, no truffle mash and no pizza :-( Our very attentive waiter made some recommendations and we ordered the kingfish Niรงoise salad and the scallops. Both dishes were nice, fresh and presented beautifully. We also shared the raw tuna and tarakihi cervice which were equally as nice. All in all it was a lovely experience although the old Euro menu will be missed!

Just reopened on Wednesday and I was lucky enough to be invited along to the opening evening, so could be one of the first to see the new fit out (with the funky wall art) and sample their new menu. Next door Coley & Punch and The Culpepper were both pumping, whilst Euro was an oasis of calm and refined fine dining. No room for any amateur diners here, professionally qualified only please. All the plates that came out were intricate works of art with extreme flavour combinations, presented beautifully and of course deliciously edible. Perhaps a little high brow for my taste but when one is surrounded by quality it is recognised. Seating is warm and accommodating (take the corner booths) and service top notch.

This was a surprise dinner thrown by my wife.
We always heard so much about euro but never had a chance to go there.
Everything was awesome
Lovely hostess who seated us....
One of the best server ever Jared
Exceptional personality with super sense of wisdom and humor
He made great recommendation and was always attention to detail.
Both the bar tenders were friendly.
Let's not be shocked.... We had appetizers three of them....hawkes bay lamb , fresh mozzarella and the crab and prawn in jalapeรฑo cream n caviar... No words to explain the creation.
The snapper got mains hot the spot !!!!
My wife enjoyed the lamb rack
The desserts were superb. Cinnamon creme brรปlรฉe and some delicious sorbet

Me and my boyfriend went there for our anniversary dinner. We ordered the Auckland Month special 3-course menu which is 55per person. It's a value deal compare to their normal prices in the menu. Highly recommend the Peking duck which is really tender and flavourful. But I didn't enjoy the Long Island Duck because the duck is a bit too fat and the sauce is too oily and sweet.
Overall, the food is well presented and taste great. But for the normal price I think it's a bit overpriced. The server who served us is quite professional and humorous.

My partner and I have dined at Euro Bar a few times and we absolutely love it. It's definitely our favourite fine dining restauraunt. I love the modern setting and the staff are always so friendly and efficient. For starter my partner will always order the bluff oysters and surprisingly can eat them all to himself! I always go for the Italian flat bread with the tomato and garlic dip - although the last couple of times the bread has been really burnt around the edges. For mains we get the Fillet Mignon and the scotch fillet, both are always cooked perfectly and very tasty. For dessert, the chocolate pudding and the creme brรปlรฉe. They definitely have the best tasting desserts here and we're never disappointed when we leave and the prices are definitely worth it.

Today was wifeys birthday so we ate here for dinner an we were actually surprised it far exceeded our expectations. First off, our waiter was a knowledge of information, memorizing the ingredients of the dishes on the menu, by heart. And a very friendly, happy and funny waiter, obviously who enjoyed his job.
Its a big place, lots of room and plenty of tables, but not crammed close with other tables/diners.ย  It was quite busy when we arrived.
Our entrees came quickly, one being the crab and prawn, and the other was the duck pancakes. Great presentation. Beautiful food. Mains was the duck for Mrs and the tuna steak for myself. Again, the presentation was neat and intricate. And the flavours were delicious. Desserts were extraordinary, such precise presentation, the additional touches, flavours and tastes were quite something. The gooey chocolate oozing from the pudding was sensational and the creme brulee was different than the normal, and so damn good. Very good timing between courses, no long delays.

Service 5/5 - this can make or break an establishment in such a fierce and competitive industry and the service at Euro is at level I don't think many can match. Not just the waiter who served us, but the other staff we came across were friendly, courteous, helpful - and smiling.

Layout/tables/washroom - 5/5 - clean, tidy, immaculate.

Food/Wine - 4.5/5, all courses were fantastic, generous portions, beautiful flavours.

Our experience at Euro bar and Restaurant provided us with a very enjoyable dinner we would totally recommend.

We visited Euro Bar during lunch for several times in March as they had Bluff Oyster promotion. For a dozen of Bluff Oyster they only charged us NZD25! And it was limited to a dozen per guest. The restaurant was a high end restaurant, serving good food like angus steak. I like the view of the Maritime Museum and the port. Looking at the ships, with sea breeze blowing to us and enjoying Bluff Oyster, make my days so relaxed and wonderful!

I am an early bird diner and I like to dine before the beautiful people are en-route. I pay by cash so I minimize my electronic trail so my bank cant divulge my spending habits to others.
We decided for a grown ups meal this time, a wine me, dine me & refine me night! Our girl was away on weekend camp so we thought lets treat ourselves
Parking is easier when you go in at 5.00pm, park right outside the place. No need to book and you have an excellent choice of places to sit. The staff was receptive,attentive, sharp as a pin and happy to engage in light conversation. Hospitality basics are exceptional at this time of dining.
We ordered the Rachael Scott Ciabatta (mushroom truffle mascapone dip) and the offerings placed before us were generous. The ย mascapone was creamy and thick and was enjoyed by us both.
This was then followed by the two asian raw bovine appetizer dishes we selected, The Zen - Noh wagyu Cappaccio and the Buffalo on crout (from specials board, a take on vittello te nato substituting venison with buffalo). Both were wonderful dishes to indulge in. I had this with a wheat beer and I thought they went great together! Wifey agreed too after sampling my beer
For my main I had the Long Island duck breast with gouji berry couscous. The duck ย breast I thought was just borderline overcooked but was very nice and a change from having it Chinese style all the time. I'm not a fan of couscous but it was nice I donated it to my wife and she devoured it. I asked the waiter to match a glass of wine for me and came with a nice earthy red. It was perfect (I can't recall what it was)
Wifey had the fish of the day which was Hapuka. It was a good solid fish, plenty of meat, nicely cooked The waiter compared Hapuka to being like Groper which after eating it, she said it was an insult to the Groper she's had in the UK. (She still biased toward Atlantic deep water fish).
We were very pleased with our meals. The cost came to about $200.00 which I thought was worth it! We were both full and no late night trips to the fast food outlets this time.
We left before the beautiful people, the shakers n movers and pretenders arrived

Great location right next to the harbour. The service is consistently good and so is the food. A little bit pricey than your average but it's worth the splurge every now and then. Been here several times now and have enjoyed the food every time. Best dish I've had here to date would be the rotisserie chicken. If you like cocktails, my fav 'forget it' is worth a try! The menu has a lot of variety and also a decent list of drinks. You'll have to book in advance to get a table during the weekend. Take a jacket or jumper if your seated outside as by the water you'll always feel a cool breeze.

Amazing Every Time. I was pretty shocked to see some people who didn't "like" Euro. This was the second time I have dined at this Restaurant whilst visiting New Zealand and the most recent time I dined on a Monday night. The restaurant was surprisingly busy by the time we arrived for our reservation at 7.30pm. We were promptly seated at an outside table by our waiter who was competent, efficient, friendly and catered for our every need. I had a Prawn Tempura starter and my partner had the Duck Pancakes. Both excellent. We followed up with a Tuna off the specials list and a Salmon dish. Once again, you would be hard pressed to find any faults with both meals. Washed down with a couple of bottles of bubbly, you would be silly not to consider Euro as an option for dinner while you are visiting Auckland or are a curious local.

Great first try!. Little did we know this restaurant that piqued our attention was owned by a top New Zealand chef. The guide from our harbour cruise recommended we try it for fresh seafood. Although we probably a bit underdressed it was early in the dinner hour and we were able to have a table. Our server Nicole was very friendly, taking the time to explain the menu and welcome us to New Zealand. We began with two appetizers: fresh oysters, half raw, the other half cooked in tempura; the second was octopus. They were both very good and definitely fresh. For dinner my husband had the daily fish special - a lovely local white fish accompanied by a tangy salad. I had the scallop and shrimp risotto special. On first glance I was a bit disappointed - the scallops were much smaller than those to which I was accustomed and the risotto appeared to be floating in melted butter. Once I tried the dish my fears were allayed - the risotto had a lovely flavour and was loaded with peas along with seafood. We both enjoyed our meals very much and would definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try!

My best friend wanted to come here for her birthday and I gladly obliged as I have wanted to come here due to all their good reviews.

It's a beautiful location right on the waterfront and we were seated outside and I can imagine that on a weekend how packed it would be so I am glad we went when it was quiet and we could really enjoy the place.

Our waiter was amazing! He really made us feel welcome, laugh and joked with us and honestly we think he made the whole experience so much better.

We ordered a 3 course dinner a la carte, the ravioli could have been a bit softer but the flavours were mouth meltingly delicious. I was advised to try the steak as I couldn't decide what to order and I normally try to avoid it because most places generally don't have enough flavour and I just feel like I could do better at home but he insisted I try it. So when it arrived and I took a bite of it I was just so happy I got it. It was cooked perfectly and the mushroom sauce complemented the steak and I just thoroughly enjoyed the dish. I finished it off with the Creme brรปlรฉe and it rounded off a perfect meal at Euro.

The only downside is the price, if you order wine expect to pay a pretty penny for it. Definitely a place to go once and for a special occasion!

We came here a few months ago and forgot to write about our experience. Anyway, our waitress was amazing, very attentive and knew the menu inside out. She knew alot about what the food was cooked with and if she couldn't answer that question. I had duck for my main, it was to die for. The most beautiful and tasy du k dish I have ever had. My dessert was really nice too, but just a little bit too rich. The restaurant itself is nice, but it feels like it lacks personality. I could have been in any restaurant along the waterfront.

Euro is a bit of a local, and sometimes we're cruel to the things we're closest to. At a recent underwhelming visit, a straw poll voted meals between 2-3.5 out of 5. Frankly, for Euro, even a 3.5 is a fail.

Yet here I am, barely a week later, turning the other cheek.

At 5 pm the deck is the place to be in summer. The waitress, a collection of tattoos and hair dye, was overly devoted to border on creepy. Glasses were refilled between sips. All orders were for bottles, even if you'd only meant a glass.

I'd spied Simon in the booth next to ours, and maybe that explains the improvements since least time. Fish excellent. Duck excellent. Oysters excellent. Canapรฉ excellent. Nothing here to remind you of your mother's cooking.

Rationaut rating: 4 inconsistent visits out of 5. While this definitively has potential to be a top culinary experience, for the price there are others who can deliver the best every time.

Euro has fantastic interior design and lovely, confident staff. I can't remember our waiter's name but he was so enthusiastic, passionate and had great command of his section. I had a mocktail called Tropical Treat which was delicious! My chocolate fondant dessert was also wonderful, it was so dark and rich and very satisfying. The only negative part of the evening was the slightly dry Terakihi. However, it was such a gorgeous place and I loved being there. I know I will come back for many more experiences with Euro!

It's quite rare these days to go to a degustation - let alone a Chef's Table Degustation. Paying so much for a meal, there's the expectation of stellar food - which sometimes explains the hefty sigh that would follow an overdone steak. Or the chance of having that knowledgeable but icy waiter who makes me mirror it in the most awkward stretched-smile-kind-of-way.

A super special occasion or a yearly treat would justify going. For me, it was to reward a hardworking momma who had been busy looking after an energetic ball of cuteness, otherwise as known as my nephew.

Euro had revamped their menu late last year into a gluten-free dining experience that promises the same indulgent flavours without the dreaded food coma afterwards. This new food ethos echoes the recent food trends of healthy eating and people being more educated and aware of what they are ingesting.

I'm all for it, dining out and less guilt. We were seated on bar stools along an L shaped table around the kitchen, giving the allusion of watching a private chef at home. Our two chefs were brilliant - boisterous with happy energy that rubbed off on the 10 guests. Everything was explained as they cooked.

I could ramble on about each of the 10 dishes but you can check out my full blog for descriptions. At first I found the food almost bland, especially when I faced the greenness of the cucumber and kale sauce in the second course. But after my tastebuds adjusted, I realised I was used to the expectation of the overly salty and seasoned food when dining out. My first surprise was the red pepper egg in the Red Tomato Consomme which pops gently when you pop the whole thing in your mouth. These flavours were light but tasty - there wasn't the overload of flavours, just clean and fresh ingredients.

As the courses went along, the flavours got more heavy and food more creamy and dense. We weren't served any form of carbohydrates until the 7th risotto course -although faux spaghetti was spotted before that, which was a dream accompanied with the quail breast.

The big perk of a Chef's Degustation is that everything is well personalised. Before serving the wagyu, the chef promised one of our well-built male diners that he will most certainly be full after the degustation, otherwise she'll personally make him a burger. The wagyu, while looking tantalizingly small, had my taste buds going from the moment it started searing on the pan. I cannot resist it, I am a carnivore.

Eating at Euro, you'll observe the use of fancy glass gadgets and liquid nitrogen smoking up the kitchen. It's more like a show than any other dining experience I've had. Even when one of the irreplaceable expensive contraptions broke, the chefs were calm and made do with something else. Huge ups for keeping it together and thinking quick on their feet!

At the end of the night, we were even given an extra course - cake pops along with a personalised chocolate message to each of our guests. Whilst my sister in law's one read "Happy Birthday", I got a cute one which said "Just Because". To round off the night, a mini burger was delivered to the male diner for being a good sport, even though he insisted he was full.

Needless to say, I loved it at Euro. Princes Wharf hasn't got the pulse of Federal Street, or the glam of Britomart. But understated elegance has always been what attracts the business people that come here for their after work drinks. Don't be intimidated, change up your dining scene and head down to this area for something special.

Excellent food, excellent service and excellent decor and location. We had ciabatta to start, which comes with a delicious truffle butter we couldn't get enough of. For the mains, we ordered the rotisserie chicken which comes with a beautiful mash and the best coleslaw I've ever had. It was a huge portion, almost half a chicken to myself and I barely finished it. We also had the market fish which comes with spiralised courgettes (not the best side but still good) and the flounder which is covered in crispy kale and spinach and also very tasty. For dessert we had the European cheese platter, which had 8 different cheeses and a combination of bread and crackers. My favourite part about Euro is that you'd expect to pay a fortune for a tiny portion, but the portion sizes are more generous than even a lot of pubs. Its definitely up there in my top two restaurants.

I have been fortunate to visit Euro several times in the past year either for business or at a function held there. This restaurant is efficiently run and serves excellent food. The signature dish for me is the roasted chicken with peanut slaw it is the best in Auckland. It has been on the menu for years apparently it is not likely to leave it either the staff tell me. A great location on the waterfront as well makes it just the place for special occasions.

Visited Euro this weekend (Nov-2014) for a special occasion and attended the "Chefs Table", which overall, was an absolutely amazing experience. ย The service and food were both outstanding. ย Service probably got a little friendly towards the end with the waiter making a couple of slightly odd comments to us, but other than that from the moment we walked in, to the minute we left, we were looked after. ย The food was incredible, 10 courses no less and we wanted for nothing - something to suit every palate. ย We were both very impressed and Euro delivered. ย The atmosphere and music was perfect, nice level, we felt we could easily interact with others at the chefs table, but also be in our own little world - Euro you have this perfectly set up, however the one negative was the smoking area was directly outside this area, with large doors constantly opening/closing, loads of smoke wafting in... which wasn't ideal, but perhaps could be looked at. Overall, very impressed, just have to now think up an excuse to visit again! ย Thank you Euro, we enjoyed our special occasion very much.

The staff are so friendly and welcoming.
The warm olives are very tasty and leave you wanting more.
The salmon and i added the creamy mash was really amazing. That scallop with it was perfectly cooked! juicy and tender!

Haven't tried the dessert menu yet, but this one is definitely fine dining at its best! good work Simon!

I have been to allot of restaurants and reviewed several fine dining restaurants and this one tops them all.
Don't look at the price, just go!

We were on a last night meal with my sister in Auckland before she headed home to England. It was a choice between Sky tower and Euro...so we chose Euro...Ben was our waiter he was great very friendly great knowledge of the food ...he made everything we ordered sound like the best food ever...the food was really good, I had clam chowder and Ben explained I should eat the food from the clam first and advised me to stir it through my soup, to get the flavour it was gorgeous. I then had the salmon that was lush and lastly the lime meringue pie omg that was fantastic I could of eaten lots of those. Ben didn't hurry us was very attentive very polite he's a credit to Euro.
If there was anything we didn't like it wasn't the food, only two issues one being, we waited about 45 minutes for our starters ....others who came in after us were given there food long before us. Ben apologised a couple of times for keeping us waiting. The other was a table beside us had two men on it who sadly were very rude, the langauge was fowl every other word from one of them was either f... or f...ing or c..t they were quite loud with it too. I would've liked someone to ask them to tone it down or mind their language. Not a good look for a great restaurant. In all it was nice great food good service shame about the obscene diner.

Euro Restaurant has the nicest food I have ever tasted! The veal was perfect along with the dates. The banana caramel dessert was absolutely lovely. However, their service isn't great. Our waitress never seemed to be around and was always accommodating other tables who seemed like regulars. I would go back for the food and hopefully next time, our waiter/waitress is better :D

Tempted back to Euro for lunch by their $25 half crayfish special and the experience did not disappoint. It was actually Fremantle Rock Lobster but that made it no less juicy and tasty, though the pickled cucumber salad on the plate was best left as a garnish. Tried the Patagonian Tooth Fish starter and this was just amazing - I am sure this is the best fish I have ever tasted. Firm, buttery in the mouth, paper-thin crispy skin - yes the cooking set it off to perfection, but the fish itself was the star. Two starters did not make a meal so we also shared the Duck Pancakes, a long-standing menu item of shredded roast duck and pancakes to build for yourself with spring onion, cucumber, and spiced chopped nuts - divine. Thanks Euro, we'll be back, and this will continue a top restaurant recommendation for visitors looking to experience the best of Auckland.

I was lucky enough to be taken to this restaurant. It delivered everything we expected and so much more.

My husband had the duck and he loved that too.
The service was exceptional and the waiter was professional and friendly all rolled into one. Waiter also recommended the type of wine we were after so he knew his stuff.

The desserts were a perfect finishing touch to the meal.

Great food & service. The SG crab & prawn entree was great - presentation awesome and taste fantastic. My partner had the Calamari prosciutto wrap which seemed an unusual combination but was delicious. The Venison and Scotch fillet steak special we had for mains were melt in the mouth and cooked to perfection along with a side of of truffle parmesan fries which just seemed to disappear in no time! Dessert...Warm chocolate pudding... molten orangey chocolate oozed from inside with home made dark chocolate and orange ice cream on the side. The waitress (Irish) had just the right amount of attentiveness and picked up on our quirky sense of humour stright away - left a tip for the first time in a long time ! Can't wait to go back.

Wedding anniversary called for a top dinner, so off to Euro for the first time. We were seated quickly, & our fantastic waitress gave us plenty of time to decide on the menu.
Peking duck for her with me having Calamari Prosciutto wrap. Both of us slack jawed with how good they were. Mains of Veal & Lamb Rump. Hands down the best lamb I have ever had. (Sorry Mum). We only dine in this price bracket a couple of times a year so I expect bang for my buck. Nice 'Happy Anniversary' touch on the desert. The little things mean a lot. A good balance of being really classy without being pretentious. Loved the chairs - I could slouch - if I wanted to. Definitely returning. My new fave !

Had lunch @ Euro on the weekend, Was an epic party in my pants. Food was amazing. Oysters to start, Duck for my main and chocolate pudding for dessert. All very tasty and presented. All our wait staff were friendly and knowledgeable. No question asked was met with a "ill go check for you" what you usually get in restaurants. An amazing experience the only complaint I have (being very minor) is they were a bit slow on the drinks service, but that's being picky. 10/10

A mainstay of the Auckland scene. Didn't disappoint from any perspective. SG's Crab and Pawn was spot on. Following on with SG's recommendation I had SG's choice of steak for the main, that's where the star got deducted, can't remember exactly how old the steak was but it was insanely old (100 plus days). Unfortunately as it was sirloin and ordered blue it arrived with a raw fat strip. I would have expected the chef to sear the fat strip. In hindsight a cut like this is probably not suitable to serve blue - lesson learnt. But I'm dwelling to long on what was a blimp in an otherwise very enjoyable experience by the four of us.

If you're a foodie then you've already been or are planning to go at some point. Highly recommended.

We had a booking for 9 people and on arriving at 7pm the place was heaving with people extremely busy and noisy. After reading previous reviews I had my doubts about the evening ahead. However we were greeted and told our table was almost ready and true to their word we were seated quickly and what a table over looking the great harbour.
However we came for the food. Although very busy the waitress was outstanding.
There were 9 of us at the table we started with the Oysters three ways they were sublime.
Each of us had a main and dessert and every person at the table said their meal was total mouth watering. The servings were large and everyone was total happy with what they had ordered.
The service was friendly and efficient.
Would definitely recommend the restaurant and go again very soon.

Last night we went for the 10 course degustation meal at the chefs table. When we got there, we were very well looked after by our waitress Nicole. She asked if I would like to choose my own wine, or should she. I am a big wine/food fan, but thought I'd leave it in her hands, and told her so. She was fantastic, bringing wines that matched perfectly with the food. A choice that I initially thought a bit different was the pinot noir she recommended with the fish burgers. It was an inspired choice and (surprisingly perhaps) matched far better than one would have expected. She was top notch. Onto the food. Katie and Eugene were simply fantastic, and made superb meals with beautiful, clean flavours, and brilliant textual contrasts in some. The crab and paua dish was one of the nicest things I have ever had the pleasure to eat. Simply brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, and even Sarah's pregnancy wasn't too much hassle, with separate meals being prepared for her. Whilst different than the other meals, they were nonetheless fantastic. Most of it was simple food cooked well - with a bit of "molecular gastronomy" thrown in every now and then. Buffalo yoghurt eggs anyone? It all had the wow factor, but I won't spoil the surprise too much by describing all the food - it was a real experience tasting it all. When Sarah booked it several months ago, it was as a bit of a birthday treat for me, but for one reason or another, we couldn't attend on my birthday, so postponed it. At the end of the meal, Eugene (ably demonstrating his piping skills) made up a little birthday platter for me. Aw shucks. He likewise made Sarah a 'congratulations' platter for her pregnancy. It's the little things like that that go a long way...

Got a deal voucher for a 9 course degustation sitting at the chefs table. Had heard a lot about Euro some good, some not so good.
From the moment we walked in the waiter looking after us really looked after us. Said he'd come get us when we were ready to start and found us a nice spot to people watch.

Chefs table was a wonderful experience - as the 2 chiefs took us through each course - telling us what was involved and the story behind the dish.

Would recommend Euro - a very enjoyable evening.

Great service was my first impression. Our waiter was informative, friendly and bubbly. He must have picked up we were on a work dinner and the boss was paying because he seemed to direct all questions to him regarding the wine list and starters at him.
Drinks arrived quickly and cocktails delicious.
I had the peking duck to start, tuna steak as my main and was arm twisted (he didn't have to twist to hard) into having into the chocolate pudding. I think my tuna was a tiny bit over cooked however I did not complain.
One of our party was a little disappointed at the size of his lamb off the bone special. It was fairly small. Other than that everyone was happy.

Euro is fabulous. I loved the friendly staff, the decor, the variety of spaces you could dine in; but the absolute standouts were the food and the structure of the menu. Structure first, Euro serves an evening menu all day. You can select anything from the menu any time. I enjoyed a three course meal from 2.30 in the afternoon and was left to take my time relaxing into the evening, matching a wine to each course. Surprisingly reasonably priced, the food was stunning. Obvious care is taken with the presentation, imagination and crafting of each dish. The menu is adventurous with delightful surprises. I was 100% satisfied with my Euro experience and look forward to a repeat.

Sat 9/6/12 our first experience at the Euro to celebrate my wife's birthday.
The service throughout the night was excellent and the staff were extremely knowledgeable about the menu and wine.
Simon Gault was cooking in the chefs kitchen and this really added to the overall experience; Simon took time to come and speak with us which was really appreciated.
The food was good starters consisted of SG's crab and prawn and Chilean red king crab leg. The SG crab was a clever combination of jalapeรฑo crรจme fraiche sauce / tobiko / tuna wafers, it was rich and creamy. The crab legs were succulent and sweet and were accompanied with three butter sauces. However I thought the sauces were quite bland and despite looking different tasted similar.
Simon sent us an amuse bouche as an extra and the flavour was delicious just the right temperature and perfectly seasoned.
Mains were lamb rump and market fish. The lamb rump was cooked perfectly and very tender accompanied with caramelized cauliflower purรฉe / raisin & almond caper salad . The market fish was delicious with a herb crust, again succulent and perfectly cooked. Two puddings to finish a Mandarin tea sorbet and an apple terrine. Both presented amazingly and very delicious.
It was quite an expensive evening but I believe the overall experience was worth the price. Its not somewhere we would eat regularly but will return on our next visit to Auckland.

Firstly, wow - amazing, amazing steak - this was the bottom-level steak, but man - i can still taste it. had it with truffle sauce, and the beetroot and endives were the perfect complement. the side of fries came in a cute little deep fry basket, presentation overall was superb.
only down-side was that the service was quite all over the place - very well-meaning, but over the top and just ended up almost abrasive, waay too long between wanting to order and having multiple visits from various verbose servers. surly maitre-d.
but anyway i was there to eat and man the food was sooo beautiful.

--PS. After reading this the general manager got in touch with me straight away apologising re my comments on service. I really appreciated that. Overall my experience at Euro was a very good one, and that reaction to my review made me feel even more confident that this is a great place to dine.

I had the rotisserie chicken which I would go back for just for that! chicken was so tender and even the mash was so flavoursome!! My partner had a lamb rump and he left one piece for last cause he didn't want to eat it, it was so good and tender. not often you get lamb or beef cooked correctly.

We had not been to Euro for years, until last week when I was invited for a long lazy Friday lunch. One thing I like is sitting by the sea for lunch and while the view is not fantastic it has all the right sounds and smells.

From the oysters and pound of prawns as starters through to the rotisserie chicken for main, all was excellent. For something different try the Mojito - rum baba for desert.

We will be heading back soon.

The first your notice with any restaurant (after the building) is the service and that is hugely important on my list - I don't eat food from shacks first of all - and for all the great restaurants of Auckland, Euro has by far the best service from a professional staff who recognise that you are the customer and look after you in a manner befitting the establishment and the restaurant brand.

The food has always been delectable and I have tried 30% of the menu, but nothing beats their service, especially Nicole.

What can I say? My husband and I have been to Euro several times in the past year or so and every time have loved it.
Even with the changes to the menu (has become more steak-house style) we still love it.
We end up getting the same things every time though - have only tried some of the other menu options on one visit.
We love the fresh oysters, breads and dips, jalepenjo crab and prawn dish, I LOVE the duck - hubby usually gets the steak.
I did find the signature chicken dish a bit dry but the slaw was great.
The service is impecible - the staff recognise us and remember what we order - they also know where we prefer to sit.
The wait staff we have had have all had a great knowledge of the wine list and have been able to recommend us some stunning pinot noir.
We will be back soon to enjoy again!

On Wednesday night my husband and I (sounds very royal!!) celebrated our wedding anniversary at Euro. We hadn't been before but had read very good reviews. We were not disappointed. From the moment we walked in we felt very welcomed and the evening proceeded into an exceptional night. Our waiter was very friendly and attentive in a nice laid back manner. It took quite awhile to choose from the fabulous menu, but finally I choose the crab ravioli as an entree and the Cajun scallops with the most divine creamy and beautifully flavoured risotto I have every eaten( even better than in Italy)My husband savoured his scallop salad and Duck and the mouthfuls he shared with me where yummy. To top this fabulous evening off , our shared trio of Simon's ice cream arrived on a large plate with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate. How nice is that?.I will leave it up to you to decide if you want to experience a delight you wont forget.

My wife, Ann, and I spent the first evening of our ruby wedding celebration holiday at Euro. It was one of the best meals I have ever had anywhere in the world and compares superbly well with many of the famous name and outlandishly expensive restaurants in the UK. After touring round NZ we returned to Auckland before flying back to the UK and decided, which can sometimes be a fatal error, to return to Euro. We were not disappointed and if anything the food was even better. If you are in Auckland this restaurant is not to be missed; the food in great, the staff are friendly and attentive and whats more know their business and their menu. If like me you know little about NZ wine trust them because they do. When we return to NZ it will be our first port of call.

The interior was well done and we had a good view towards the Maritime Museum. However I felt that the food offered was quite un-interesting, nothing that really surprised me.

I got the $49 special running at the time. Without the champagne it came to only $39.
The toilet was really pretty -just thought I'd add it. It reminds me of a changing room at a designer store. Very interesting haha.

I definitely will want to go again for different food. I loved seeing the chefs so openly and they were extremely lovely (:

In the last few years, at the start and end of the Bluff oyster season, Euro have had fantastic lunch deals. We went along and took advantage of it - a dozen Bluff oysters in the half shell for $19. That's cheaper than buying them from a pottle at the supermarket! On a sunny day, there's nothing better than watching the boats on the wharf, enjoying a cool drink and squirting lemon and white balsamic vinegar on fresh, sweet Bluff oysters. We also had a side of onion rings, which were pricey (for onions!) but really crispy and tasty. The service was really attentive and we left happy and satisfied. Keep an eye out for these lunch deals if you love oysters! But of course, realise that in the end you will be paying quite a bit more for any sides or drinks.

Atmosphere is just average to be one of top restaurants in Auckland. I would give them 3 out 5 for atmosphere If they didn't have a kitchen that is open to the customers to see busy chefs cooking delicious food. Their tuna steak is truly amazing. The sauce with the steak is just wonderful.

First impression was pretentious clientele and staff, but if you can get past that you notice that the staff is actually very efficient, friendly and helpful ..., the food although pricey, is to die for... Innovative, well presented and some of the best food in Auckland. If budget allowed, I would be a regular visitor!

My Euro story: when I was there on a business dinner, the 2 of us ordered the steak. It was so damn good, we ordered a third steak to split between us instead of dessert. I'm not kidding.

Euro is Simon Gault's flagship restaurant in the Viaduct. It is huge. The service is impeccable. There is something on the menu to suit everyone's tastes, and if not, they'll probably custom-make something for you. But you will pay for it; this place ain't cheap. Save it up for a special occasion & you won't mind dropping a few dollars; it will be money well spent.

Because it is so big, and so trendy, and so reliably, consistently good, you will probably find a few business people, a few celebrities and a few show-offs dining at Euro. That is all part of the experience. But if you want a specific table or area to sit in, it's worth asking when you book, or you may be relegated to the cheap seats.

Save up for this one - it's worth a visit.

For a special evening, head to Euro. the service is phenomenal...the best I've had in Auckland. Efficient without being presumptious, friendly without being too friendly. The food is very very good and if you ever get the chance to experience the Chef's Table, DO IT - incredible experimentations with flavours and textures which has given me nights I'll never forget. Better than going to the theatre or a gig - this is entertainment in itself. Always busy and rightly so.

Excellent experience, great food, location and service. Anniversary dinner and thought Euro bar would be perfect. We were promptly met with a friendly smile and shown to our table. Scott, our waiter was fantastic, really knew his stuff and had that fantastic balance of not being in anyway overly formal and very friendly and relaxed. Great wine selection too. Will definitely return again.

Such a nice dining experience! ๐Ÿ˜„ Whitebait fritter is a must try. Jerusalem artichoke ice cream + chips is a very interesting dessert. The market fish that day was the highlight ๐ŸŽ‰. The pasta dish though, great portion and has the pretty green colour but is slightly salty to my liking.

Lovely service. Staff were very accommodating and professional. The food was lovely as well. The steaks were in par with jervois imo. Beautifully seared and medium rare on the inside, just how we liked it. We had the roasted chicken with mash.. based on other reviews we were expecting small portions but we're pleasantly surprised with the generous portion sizes of each dish. Desserts though we're average, nicest one of the bunch was the banana peanut butter sundae.

Great food and drinks in a great location overlooking the harbor. It is also less than a hundred meters to the entrance to the Americaโ€™s Cup village. We stopped in for drinks and snacks, and sat in the bar area outside. The service was prompt and the waiters were attentive. We had the zucchini flowers, which were unique and amazingly delicious, and some seasoned potatoes with our drinks. They have many unique drinks and drink combinations, and several beers on tap. We would recommend this place, and will have to return for dinner sometime!

Euro is our top choice for celebrating special occasions large and small. 5 star food and service are consistent throughout the years. Menus are updated regularly and keeping us wanting to go back. Recently renovation has further improved the atmosphere. Top restaurant in Auckland absolutely!

I have to say it was the perfect time to head to Euro. After 2.30pm. It was quiet, one other table with guests. Great service. Food was excellent. Pork belly was not fatty, crackling was perfect, and the truffle mash is a treat. My favourite is Man O war Pinot Gris Excile - Sweet but excellent when chilled perfectly- Tick โœ”

Came here for a friends birthday in May 19. Booked as part of First Table experience where you get 50% off the bill. Total bill was approx $400, 50% total $200 split between two couples $100 for the evening was not bad! This include few rounds of bluff oysters/ cooked bluffies. Mains, two shared desserts and cocktails each. Definitely worth booking via First Table and good was great! Good service with the staff

Went there specially for the Seasonal Scallop menu. The celeriac veloute was nice with roasted scallop, scallop tartare was fresh, scallop slider was our favourite, scallop boudin blanc was very soft but the dish was slightly salty. In general the taste was above average but not amazing, however the seasonal menu showcasing fresh local ingredience was a great idea~ The staff was veru friendly and helpful, comfortable seat, will be nice during warmer day sitting outside on the wharf, ill be back for more.

Fantastic service and food selection as always. Euro always meets the standards I expect at an establishment such as this. There were some delicious things to order from the menu and the atmosphere was great too. Will definitely continue to return here in the future.

Euro exceeded our expectation!!! We went on a nice Saturday lunch during the Bluff oyster season - $29.95 for a dozen! The Bluffs were fresh and plump, with a tint of sweetness followed by strong oystery taste that lingered for a long time. Then we had its Prix Fixe lunch - 2 course for $35!!! Only a fraction of the price at dinner! Though it's a lot cheaper than dinner and it's a fixed menu, but portion was generous, especially for appetizer the portions were a lot more than that of many other upscale restaurants. We had the sashimi, beef tartare, lamb rump, and Raglan John Dory. All cooked and presented in perfection. The food were very fresh, made in a fusion style not just for the sake of fusing different ingredients together but really for the sake of bringing out the freahest and tastiest character of the food. Very delicious. It has excellent outdoor seating too with a nice view of the sea. Booking through the website was smooth. Highly recommended for lunch to get the best value with an amazing view.

We came for the crayfish menu and left feeling very satisfied. As always, it was a casual yet classy experience, with nearly impeccable service. Their special menus are always good value and this occasion was no different.

We took our friend to dinner for her birthday and had a good time. Service was good as was the food. She got a birthday dessert from the kitchen which was sweet.

Excellent quality food as expected for the high price. Portion sizes are very small, would need to order starters and dessert to feel full. The desserts here are amazing, I usually don't like Pavlova but the one here is far above average. Overall a good experience;

I went there for my birthday. The restaurant was very loud and was hard to talk each other. Food was great. We ordered course meal. If we visit again, we would go earlier time.

Had a relaxing lunch by the waterside here. Ordered the pork belly and it had a delicious melt in your mouth texture with a lightly curried flavour. Great balance of textures with the grain based ingredients underneath. Also had the scotch which is literally just a piece of meat and jus, but expected a little bit more than that. Service is great as usual, with friendly staff. We wanted a table outside by the water, but one had plant seeds which must have blown over, so they were very proactive and gave us another table before we could even ask. 5 stars.

First time here and wont be my last. Had the oyster lunch with my parents and we all really enjoyed it. Was a warm summers afternoon, lots of sun, the water looked amazing. Wait staff were super tentative and had a great sense of humor. A little on the pricey side for the portion size but the food is definitely delicious.
