By chance we ended
up having lunch on a Friday at Market Kitchen and Bar at the bottom end of Carlton Gore Road Newmarket
It has recently
been voted the People’s Choice Restaurant for NZ – but although it is good I
can’t imagine what poll would put it best – ahead of say wonderful restaurants
like the French Café.
It is more of a
local restaurant – a bit like the Tardis in that it appears small but actually has
quite a number of different dining areas as well as a bar. The décor is very pleasant.
The service
very friendly and relaxed – my only slight whinge would be that we were asked
by 3 different people whether our food was ok.
The chicken
liver parfait I had was simply divine.
The better half’s market fish – pan roasted snapper was reported to be
good but not earth shattering. The side
of hand cut fries were very good indeed but I would have liked the option of
aioli with them rather than just good old tomato sauce. The special side of roasted beetroot with
blue cheese cubes and orange segments actually tasted a bit odd – it might have
been better served cold.
I would be very
happy to go to this restaurant again.
If you click the names below you will see what I have said about some other restaurants in Auckland.
