Chefs should be commended on the food, both for buffet breakfast and dinner menu. Great to have a good selection for dinner - both a dinner menu but also cafe style food if you did not want to eat too much. Try the tapas style entree - excellent.

Finally, after many months, a dear friend and I managed to catch up over dinner. He chose The Cafe at Pullman Auckland Hotel. The restaurant has been refurbished and looks great. Lighting is well balanced and creates a pleasant atmosphere. Rose, a charming waitress, looked after us superbly. I love Caesar salad but Rose introduced me to Salmon Caesar Salad,... More

Quite extensive menu, I had the Angus and it was reasonably well cooked. Not my favorite cut but as I wanted a steak it was all that was available. Chips were cold. Meal was attractively presented but think a little over priced to be honest. Service was excellent however. Overall the rest of our party enjoyed their meals and as... More

Ate here as we were staying in the hotel, and it is quite a hike to the city. An inspired choice. Very efficient staff - friendly but not overpowering. Salt & Pepper squid to start. Great flavours. A medium rare steak, perfectly cooked, and a risotto main. Both a tribute to the chef and his staff. Thanks for that.

After settling into our apartment after a long flight, the issue of where to eat on our first night had to be decided. We decided on The Café at the Pullman after reading the reviews and discovering it was only two block from where we are staying. And we couldn't have made a better choice!

Before we joined our New Zealand/Australia cruise we had an overnight at this hotel, and we decided to eat at the restaurant that night. The service was excellent and my husband ordered the chicken livers cooked in brandy in a pastry case. I ordered the salmon which was very good but I really wished that I had ordered the chicken...
