Pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, and a great place!
Our experience at Devon on the Wharf was phenomenal. The waiter was very attentive. The food was cooked perfectly.
And you cannot best the wonderful views of the city. I recommend going just before sunset and watching Auckland turn from day to night.
I had a meal here tonight with my friend Onn and it was truely amazing.
We enjoyed the Share Platters and the Cocolate Fondant desert.
The food was excellent, tasty and beautifully presented.
The service was extremely friendly and prompt.
There were complimentary dishes included for us and the whole experience including the atmosphere was one of the best I have had in a long time.
Will definitely be returning here and recommend it !
We hadn't booked and it was a Saturday evening but they slotted us in without a fuss. Our waiter was excellent; great service and even some advice on menu selections.
The only downer was my Turkish coffee, which arrived lukewarm, but when I pointed this out they were straight onto it and brought me a fresh one with no fuss.
Pricing was very reasonable, too.
Had the most spectacular customer service here. Not only that, but their Jordanian hummus dish is one of the best things I've ever eaten. 15/10
Great food and ambience. Great service from our Macedonian waiter + 2 other lovely wait staff. Beautiful presentation, thanks for a great lunch!
Great views. The staff is helpful and the food is delicious. Went there after hike and had ice cold beers šŗ while waiting for ferry.
A better place to be and have a meal. Ambience is cosy and relaxing with stunning view of Devonport.
Great venue.
Friendly,professional service.
Scrumptious food and it was nice to see real champagne on the drinks list.
Our seats were perfect.
We had the outdoor heater in the patio area keeping us warm and lovely garden wall to look at and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach in the background made us feel like we were on holiday.
Glad I gave Dev On Wharf a second chance they have made alot of worthwhile improvements.
Great place to relax with breakfast and coffee. We call regular when working in the area.
Great place, great food with great people. I highly recommend it.
What an amazing experience! Motherās Day roses and bubbles and beautiful food! Lovely staff and atmosphere ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½
I went here with a group of friends for lunch. The food was absolutely delicious. Great service and beautiful decor. Canāt wait for my next visit
You could not ask for better service and food the hole place is just amazing
Went here with my family for my birthday dinner. Service was soo amazing, our server recommended great options for sharing. Got the pizza deal as it was a Sunday, also got the feast, lamb and burger. Place was warm and cozy for a winter szn. Would give 5 stars but the chicken was dry and needs more flavour. Would definitely come back again tho š¤
Stunning setting, and great food. It was busy (Saturday night dinner service) but wait times were short. I only wish weād decided to stay for dessert!
Came in for a birthday dinner tonight with friends. Ordered the curly fries, fattoush pan roasted chicken salad, bodrum sizzler steak, yuzu tonic, tropidelic, grapefruit spritz and hot almond milk. Tropedelic was huge. Portion was the size of a small bowl, very worth if you like alcohol. Curly fries were so crispy and came with tomato sauce and aioli. The salad had a vinegar sauce and was perfect to eat alternating from fries.
We had breakfast in Saturday morning, the food is average, but the service and dining atmosphere of Devon on the wharf are awesome! Would like to visit again.
Iāve been this restaurant twice, one with my family and one withy friends. All of us love the restaurant. The location is premium, just on Devonport wharf, which means you can enjoy the sea view and fresh air. Chips from fish n chips with skin on, hand cut and healthy. The Turkish pizza is really recommended. Also they are providing kids activity bag with kid order. It can occupy the kidsā time and give parents a break. But sometimes it rush hour they will offer a bar stool chair and table to those who have young kids. I think itās bit high for those younger kids. Please make reservation for sofa seat or normal seat if possible.
Absolutely amazing food. Had the fried calamari for a starter and it was one of the best I ever had. My main was the kebab, but the dessert now that was absolutely mind blowing. 11/10 for the chocolate fondant. Definetly will be coming back ā¤
Whether you dig into ādeliciousā Kiwi fare while enjoying the āabsolutely dreamyā views from the Portāromanticā porches, with āpalms swaying above and the iridescence of the waves rolling inā, or devour your āterrificā breakfast buffet, the experience ācouldn't be more wonderfulāboth boast photos of the legendary namesake surfer and āalohaā-spirited service.
Awesome location, we received good service here and food was very nice. We recommend this place. Awesome view of the ocean and Auckland City. :)
Lovely location, vibrant ambience, friendly staff and decent food. My partner and I spent a great afternoon at Devon on the wharf and we'd visit again.
Even if we had only coffee here, there were kind and give us good service. We had iced coffee and mocha latte. It was good to take a rest with nice view.
Came here with some friends for a Sunday lunch. All our food was very tasty and they even had home made fries with the fish and chips. Pizza was nice with thin base, dessert menu wasn't massive but the brownie was very good. Waiter we had was friendly and served everthing in good time, so no complaints there , will be back.
What a great place for a lazy weekend brunch; sun shine, sea breeze, delicious food and great coffee. Having been here for brunch on several occasions, we can deffinitely recommend this place. Eggs bene is one of the best I've tasted, sprinkling of dates and thinly sliced apple add a little bit of sweetness that I never knew was missing.
Great spot with awesome view and service, huge well made coffees and delicious food. Your biggest problem will be trying to pick what to eat! Highly recommended
I went here with a friend on Saturday. The restaurant is really nice they have a large indoor and outdoor area which is fully heated so you are comfortable no matter where you sit.
The staff are very helpful and friendly as well. Always topping up water, asking if we needed anything without being annoying.
The food was pretty good but nothing special. We shared one of their platters and most of it was nice but the falafal tasted like it was frozen then deep fried and the cold potato dish didnt really taste like anything. The cocktails however were delicious!!!
Would definitely go back for a drink and maybe for dinner to try out their full menu.
Very vibrant plates of food and an amazing, peaceful ambience. We came for dinner and ordered the fried chicken small bites, fish and chips and the lamb two ways. The lamb was so flavorful and tender and omg the butternut squash and pulled lamb accompanying it was as equally tasty with complimentary textures. Dishes ranged from $25-60 each and we paid around $82 for all three dishes, but they were still substantial (after the sharing plate, I struggled to finish my main.) I love Mediterranean food and it seemed modernized with a great range to select from! The customer service was very good. The server came to check up on us and advise us of the specials! Also topped up our water multiple times and gave us the jug. I will be back to try their deserts! šš

Devonport is probably my favourite suburb in the North Shore besides Takapuna, my home. Itās such a great place to go for a walk, stroll around the quaint town and have brunch. Right smack in Devonport Wharf is the aptly namedĀ Devon On The Wharf.Ā Weāve been here a couple of times so Iāve tested this place out.
This place has amazing food and amazing view. I had 3 ways lamb, chicken salad and deconstructed tiramisu. All three dishes were amazing. The staff is very friendly. Must visit.
Really enjoyed our lunch here today! Photos donāt do it justice but I had the bruschetta and my boyfriend had the crab cakes. The halloumi was a little rubbery but still pretty good! would have liked a third crab cake instead of just two purely for the price but it was really yum!
Its my first time visit . Staff are welcome. I ordered crab fritter curly fries my friend ordered creamy mushroom . All amazing. I will try dinner next time.
Very nice ambience, great service. A perfect place for brunch. Food is tasty. I liked the presentation. Had a great time. Good place to relax and enjoy the meal.
I picked this restaurant hoping to see the beautiful harbour view. Unfortunately it was raining that night. We were welcomed and seated by friendly staff. This place was full at that night, almost all tables were occupied. I'm glad I made a booking prior coming. Food came pretty quite despite the amount of people they had. Presentation was attractive and food are tasty. I wish they could have more options for dessert. Hope to come back again to enjoy the view.
Really lovely place! Love the deco and the service! Happy staff! Food was amazing! Interesting, but amazing! Would highly recommend! Would definitely go again!
Fantastic venue, and outlook. Service was excellent. Came here for Breakfast. Coffee was perfect. I had French toast which was beautifully made and presented and my wife had eggs Benedict with a potato Rosti which she loved. Menu includes Turkish dishes. We will be back sometime to try a lunch.
Wasn't planning on eating here, so glad we did! The whole experience was amazing.Ā Handy location right on Devonport Wharf. From the moment we walked in the staff were very friendly and attentive.
I had the Fish & Chips, Husband had the Chicken Souvlaki. (Said it was one of the nicest things he has eaten in a long time) Asahi on Tap is a bonus too :)
Would highly recommend, we will definitely be back
Excellent location, friendly staff, great food but
service was slow. We had a function and pre-ordered our food however the service was still slow and disorganised. Tried Prawn cocktails, Three Cheese Tortellini, Lamb Rack, Chocolate Fondant, Tiramisu and Devon Sundae. The food was well-presented and delicious although the spiced yoghurt overpowered the taste of the lamb and vegetables. I reckon the chocolate fondant was the highlight out of all the dishes I tried, very rich and decadent chocolate dessert. Stunning views from the restaurant and very accessible in the ferry station. Just to make a point on how slow the service was, our table was served dessert around 9:45pm. However, we will still come back for the quality of food and nice settings.
Just outstanding, as soon as I walked in the waitress smiled and we knew we were in good hands. It was my girlfriends birthday and the crew at Devon on the Wharf made her feel so special.
We were recommended the pulled lamb and the Turkish pizza and both were 10/10 in freshness and taste.
To top it off the staff brought out a brownie with ice cream and a candle and sang happy birthday!
We need more people like these guys in out city.
Absolutely will recommend to my friends and family.
Keep up the good work!!

I went here for a coffee after running half a marathon so didn't eat, others ordered food and it looked so delicious and great sizing portions. The whitikkas hot chocolate was amazing and hit all the spots.
We got the Fattoush Salad of slow-cooked lamb and their Mama's Dolma with chicken.
For drinks we got the Power Granate smoothie and a apple juice.
By the time we dug into the dishes it was already cold, so the fat on the lamb had already started to solidify, texture was therefore a bit iffy. The Lamb itself was cooked nicely, soft and falling apart. Would've preferred more flavours though.
I loved the presentation of the Mama's Dolma; it also looked really nice, with rice inside the capsicum. I didn't get to try it though but I would get it next time!
The interior decor is absolutely beautiful.

Velvety flat white. I only had time for a quick coffee stop but will be coming back for a proper meal next time. The setting is beautiful! Right on the waterfront but sheltered away from the weather. The restaurant is decorated with light blue and neutral tones setting up a very relaxing atmosphere. Service was good.

They're a fussy bunch in my family - two coeliacs, a vegetarian, a five-year-old, and two nonagenarians with small appetites and traditional tastes, plus aĀ handful ofĀ 'normal' people! We've had a few nights out turn into disasters as a result, so I booked Devon on the Wharf with a measure of trepidation, but I needn't have worried. The mezze platter we ordered on arrival was customised to accommodate the coeliacs, while still offering plenty to please the rest of the party. (Best hummus I've ever tasted!)The five-year-old was provided with the best activity bag I've seen anywhere, having been chosen from the Ā four different themed bags on offer. Her meal, and her fancy looking orange juice were both big hits, and arrived very promptly, just ahead of everyone else's mains. Between us we managed to sample a wide selection ofĀ both the foodĀ and the drinks on offer, and every one of us was happy with the choices we made.Ā The staff were attentive without being intrusive, the big heaters kept the veranda area where we were seated very warm on a chilly night, and in the end our only regret was that no one had room for dessert. But I guess that means we'll just have to go back...
Had a nice morning coffee on Sunday morning, this is a place to go no matter summer or winter, sitting outdoor but still under cover with the sun shinning above you, friendly service as usual.
FINALLY! Devonport has got a restaurant with style, delicious food and staff with smiles that never seem to go away.
Had the crispy chicken souvlaki for lunch, teeming with flavour and colour.
Will definitely come back more often :-)
We came for lunch today and the new menu was awesome! I had the slow cooked lamb burger. The flavors were really well balanced and the feel of the place was amazing. Definitely a must do
Slow to seat us, take our menu, give us water and cutlery. We stood for a good 2mins just waiting to be seated and acknowledged
Very understaffed for a mothers day dinner
But the food was alright, beef cheek was cooked beautifully and was soft. Loved the butternut puree but questions about the mascapone - got too rich
The chicken dish was alright too- resembled a couscous salad w chicken
The calamari was bomb! Would come back just for that
The lovely waitor who took our photos was very friendly
The lady who seemed like the manager was attentive but didnt get friendly vibes
But thank you for the dessert that was served for free! That was a nice touch as restaurants dont often do that
So basically, could work on service and seating people down quickly and greeting them
But lovely interior and vibes! Can see it will be lovely in summer
While strolling with friends after dinner, we landed in this place for dessert on my marriage anniversary. It was late and this place was going to close in 20 minutes. In spite of this, we were served so well. We ordered for Whittaker's Hot Chocolate and Cushala (the staff member) made the evening special for us. She also recommended us to try Baklava which was so delicious and neatly presented that none of us will ever forget. Overall, a great place and amazing ambience.
Excellent all round. Attentive waitress, great location & our meals exceeded expectations and were delicious. I'll come back for sure. Apparently I have to fill 140 characters , how dumb is that?
The food was amazing. Who would've thought that salmon and licorice would go so well together. Pavlova was a work of art and very tasty. The service was very good Will definitely return.
So we came back as promised and again were very happy with the food and service. Had the sirloin this time. Yum. Not enough room for dessert but our friends who ordered them were very impressed.

Updated review 12/12/2017
We went in for my work lunch, it was amazing
Service was spot on, super chilled and friendly
Damm the food is tasty and the desserts (i highly recommend the baklava)
Will be going there a lot I think šššš
The coffee shop is in a perfect location, right on the wharf, with sea views.
There is a selection of good indoor and outdoor seating and its clean its fresh looking
We ordered a couple of coffees and icecreams for the kids. The coffees were ok, not bad but not great
The staff seemed to be having a bad time of it, not friendly at all. Normally this would put me off but watching how rude customers were in the very small queue to the staff made me sympathetic. Always amazes me how impatient people here can be (3 minute wait)
So I will definitely go back, and re review
čÆę
This is a very nice restaurant, pure and fresh style.
At night you can see the lights of the city.
Food was greatļ¼had beef cheek and a chicken dish both really goodļ¼but I think the best thing is the musselļ¼will back again.
Great service and wonderful atmosphere. Food was superb and very satisfying. Great portion sizes as well. Only thing that lets it down is the lack of toilets - you have to use the ones in the ferry terminal.
Absolutely love it the service is superb and they really know how to look after you. The food is absolutely delicious and highly recommend. We had lunch and will definitely be going back. Very authentic.
Wow - I went to Devon on the Wharf twice this week - all I can say is WOW - first the decor is stunning, fresh, different and has a tropical/turkish/bohemian/plantation feel .
The staff are friendly and my coffee was served immediately - loved the coffee so ordered another.
Today I was there for a breakfast meeting and ordered poached eggs on gluten free bread - it was perfect and again the coffee was stunning.Ā Ā Ā
Devon on the Wharf is going to be my local!!!Ā Ā Ā IĀ LOVED the style and feeling when sitting in the cafe.Ā Thank you for providing a stylish & fresh cafe in Devonport.Ā It was SO needed.Ā Ā I am discerning in how I live and to go to one of the many "nothing" cafe's in Devonport had a lot to be desired.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Kathy
With plans to go and see the Dragon Poi fire show in Devonport, our thoughts turned to where to have dinner beforehand. Weād heard whispers of a brand new opening right on the wharf so it seemed the perfect place to have dinner before the show. The major selling point of Devon on the Wharf is this fantastic view. Situated right inside the ferry terminal, you are rewarded with stunning views of the Auckland skyline.
This place has amazing view and cool decor. Ordered Apple Turkish Tea, Blueberry Pancakes, Fattoush Salad with Lamb Shoulder, Dolma with Chicken, and Classic Benedict with Mushroom for lunch yesterday. As we never been to Turkey or Mediterranean before, so we don't know how authentic the dishes are, BUT the presentation, the taste, and the flavour are very good (for us anyway).
According to our experience yesterday lunchtime, the only downside is the service. It takes a while for someone to take the order, no server (or waiter) seems to care how the diners are doing. I know it was busy but it looks like it was quite chaotic.
Anyway, we will come back to try their dinner menu (when it is not soooooo busy).
A cafe with a quintessentially British name, in a tropical Bahamian style, with a Turkish menu which tastes very Kiwi......wow! Ā It is an amazing new space, and finally Devonport finally has it's own waterfront cafe (actually over the water). It is beautifully presented and definitely a popular new spot. I was expecting to see Devonshire tea on the menu, but instead saw a Turkish bent to the menu which is awesome, although the fish souvlaki I was looking forward to so much looked and tasted like a fish taco. The service was spot on and we had a great time, so we will definitely return next time we are in Devonport!
Loved it! Apart from the obviously amazing views and the cool decor, the service was good and the food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the haloumi and flat bread (great haloumi), courgettes with whipped feta (incredible!!!! Soooo tasty) and a souvlaki each. Can't wait to go back! It's one of my new faves.
Lovely place right on the wharf, chic interior with some real cool eclectic clutter. Service is excellent, friendly and knowledgeable and the views......
Add to this the people watching possibilities from all the ferry users and you're in a good space. Then comes the food. Frankly I'd give all of the above up just to be able to stuff myself with the food! Beautifully presented delicious wholesome gorgeousness. If you go for breakfast try the potato roti it's blissful with a perfect poached egg and smokey bacon. The draft beer is yum too.
Dinner with my wife here last night, overall the food was very good. Calamari main was very tender and well flavoured. The beef cheek was a solid potion slow cooked to pull apart with a great gravy and mash on the side to compliment it. Also had the falafel dish as a side, falafel was slightly on the dry side. Took a while to have our orders taken, however the staff were friendly. Overall would come here again, good size portions and delicious food, just need the staff to be slightly more attentive.
Have just had my Birthday Lunch and it was lovely. When I rang this morning and spoke to Stella I said I wanted to reserve a table for my birthday lunch and could she make sure I had sunshine- well guess what I did have sunshine and a lovely greeting on arrival it was so nice. We all enjoyed our meals very much and the staff were very friendly . We will be going again that is for sure.
Visited last week for the first time with clients and all thoroughly impressed. The decor, ambience and warmth are wonderful and the service exceptional. We enjoyed great coffees and muffins this time, but look forward to returning for lunch and dinner - the menu looks delicious varied and original.
Stunning. Ordered seafood platter, fillet, chicken tagine and all the deserts on the menu. All were outstanding. Super atmosphere and outstanding service. A great addition to Devonport. Highly recommended.
Excellent service, very nice presentation and food test, very vibrant environment and i love the interior.
Coffee is very nice but they don't have many options for vegetarian. Please add some vegetarian food, I love to come again.
So great to finally have a nice restaurant in Devonport. The decor is lush with a beautiful view and the food is awesome and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend.
This is a newly opened restaurant and I'm sure it will soon be a part of Auckland's elite list.
With a classy view from the Devonport wharf and a well thought of architecture makes this place very fascinating in terms of the location and the seating etc.
The food is superb and you can sense that the chefs are not afraid to experiment with how the dishes are put together. The results of course are positive.
We ordered a couple of mains and desserts and loved every bit of it. Memorable experience overall.
P.s - staff are friendly and very courteous.
I'll be back here again šš¼
Had dinner date night here on Friday with my partner. Very lively and pleasant atmosphere. Blown away by the portions of food we ordered. Worth your dollars and staff were very attentive :) just a bit disappointed that the cocktail menu wasn't available at the time but overall definitely revisiting this place
Lovely place, plenty of indoor, outdoor seating.Relaxed atmosphere.Wonderful views of harbour from all directions,great location.
The restaurant is located right at the wharf where we met friends and all 6 of us had dinner. The food was delicious and well presented. We had the Spanish Octopus (real yummy), crab empanadas, Devonport Wharf Fish & Chips, Capricioza and Garlic Pizzas plus drinks. Recommended
Never disappoints with the level of service to the quality of the food & cocktails.
Had there big breakfast & the eggs was cooked to my exact liking.
Left satisfied & the view/ambiance is unmatched.
Went there for the first time with my pals and the food was amazing!! I enjoyed the lamb so much. The spices, the meat, everything! You wouldnāt believe me if I said cranberry jam was perfect to be pizza topping!

Nice place with a great view. But the service isn't the best š„²
An excellent Restaurant for a quick wine/beer or for dinner. The staff were very attentive to our groups needs (and we did order a lot of food & drinkies!) I would definitely recommend this gorgeous place
& would love to go back again in the future.
Absolutely lovely place for brunch. Excellent service. Yummy food. Great coffee.
Had a very nice time here, the location is great, the ambience staff and vibe fit the place so well.
We ordered a variety of food to meet our needs and it was executed perfectly, the portions were satisfying and the food was absolutely delicious.
11/10 would recommend, most definitely will come back for seconds
Was almost empty when I was there at night .. great food .. very impressive garlic bread ..
We read the reviews before coming to this place and we did not disappoint. We ordered a Souvlaki open wrap with fried chicken and a Fattouch salad with Chicken skewer. We also ordered a Turkish tea and coffee. The food and drinks were amazing. We loved the view and atmosphere.
Lack of Halal Certified shops. Muslims can not have meal .This is huge loss to local shops and community
Absolutely delicious š pizza & šø cocktails will be back.
Just the thing to eat after gng over on the boat.
Service amazing too & seated & took order as soon as we @ a table
We had our Valentineās Day dinner here with shared small plates and dessert. The plates were generously portioned and delicious. Staff were very attentive and the location was just right. There is plenty of space on each table so no one was too close. A very pleasant place to have a relaxing meal.

Great place on the water. Had a lamb burger and hand cut fries, a very nice. The Whittaker's hot chocolate was devine. Rug up warm if visiting in cold season, even inside was a little open to the cold wind.
Food quality is awesome. Happy with the service š
