Canton Café: Worth the trouble to find
kiwi Says: This place is a real gem! Great for small groups, albeit a little bit noisey but fun all the same. They serve the food to the centre of round tables, on a turntable. Communal meals such as this are fun and usually very reasonably priced.All the food was delicious and I...
Bouchon: Authentic French food.
kiwi Says: Another very special "find" in the Kingsland area, is this place. You will eat authentic French cuising here, and I doubt you will be disappointed.Summer time sees people dining out the back in the summer garden area. However the main restaurant area is tastefully decorated...
Deve Brasserie: Nice open plan and interesting.
kiwi Says: Visually appealing, really tastefully decorated. Interesting too.But the service was terrible, making us wait too long, even just for initial drinks.Staff not prepared to have eye contact and behaved like we weren't really there.Sadly, it didn't used to be like this, but...
Atomic Coffee Roasters: Great freshly roasted and ground coffee.
kiwi Says: Specialist coffee roasters, they roast blend and grind the coffee themselves. Very nice! Also distributors of their product, but you can enjoy a coffee and muffin here on the premises if you wish. Nice to sit outside in the sun if it's a nice day. Coffee, freshly blended,...

kiwi Says: If you are in this part of town during the daytime, take a wander along the street before you have your meal, if possible. It really is interesting and quite a hotchpotch of shops and eating places. One of the older areas of Auckland, Kingsland has quite interesting...
kiwi Says: Just in case you need to get some cash while in this part of town, there is a money machine (ATM) at the chemist shop (Pharmacy) just near the restaurants in the main street.An unusual site, to see it placed like this, but very handy all the same.
