DEPOT EATERY

The oysters were very delicious. They were small but delicious. It was the first time I ate such delicious oysters. The oysters were 7 New Zealand dollars each. The cod burger was nothing special. I ate too much in the afternoon, so I ordered some for a midnight snack.

Great coffee and hot chocolate. My friend and I had bacon and omelette for breakfast, which was super fresh and delicious. Don't like drinking water from metal containers though, it has an unpleasant metal taste. Glass ones are best.

A popular seafood bar, its specialty is oysters. The local oysters are very big and you can really eat a lot of them. The local specialty lamb chops are very good, similar to the cooking method in food stalls.

This is a great restaurant. If you arrive before 17:30, you don't have to queue. If you arrive after that, you have to rely on your luck or your patience. The Italian-style food tastes great, and the Asian flavors are also quite satisfying. The only drawback is that the restaurant is not big and there are not many seats. P.S. The waiters are all very good-looking!

The first time, I was going to go to the one next door, but they only had breakfast with refills of American coffee, so I chose this one just a stone's throw away. After entering the door, I realized that it was an oyster bar. The theme was wrong again, but there was coffee. I ordered a small cup of espresso, which looked good with cocoa powder, but tasted sour like lemon. I still can't accept the use of sour beans in milk coffee. The milk quality is really good, but it was paired with the wrong owner. The second time, I really enjoyed the best oyster varieties in New Zealand, and I was very satisfied with one after another. The location is particularly good, and the Sky Tower is right next to it, which is pleasant to just look at.

Behind several famous Auckland restaurants that have won many awards, such as Depot and Best Ugly Bagel, there is the same name, that is Al Brown, New Zealand's "national treasure chef". The most ordered dishes at Depot are oysters, cod burgers and lamb chops. I had a poor appetite that day, so I replaced the lamb chops with fish. The overall taste is good, the oysters and shells are so fresh, and the small biscuits served before the meal are also delicious, because this is the food that is closest to Chinese food. The location is right under the Sky Tower, so you can use the Sky Tower's Wif. There are so many people in the restaurant, including many Chinese tourists, and it is still full at 10 o'clock in the evening. For a popular restaurant, the price is not expensive, and it is about the same as other restaurants of the same level, about 100 yuan per person.

At noon, the place was so popular that I could only sit at the bar and watch the waiter make simple drinks and use skills to open various shellfish. The free pre-meal cookies were crispy and the dipping sauce was fat; at the waiter's suggestion, I ordered one of each of the three oysters to try. The onion sauce provided was either original or lemony enough: the oysters from the Bluff looked and tasted different from the oysters I had tasted before. The meat was delicate and the shape was round instead of the common long shape. The fresh and salty oysters were endless aftertaste; the Pacific oysters were slightly smaller and slightly fishy, ​​which reminded me of eating hairy clams when I was a child; the largest one was familiar in appearance and taste, very fat, salty and sweet. I am not an expert, so I took one of each as a farewell by intuition, and returned to Shanghai with New Zealand's unique advantages!

This restaurant in Auckland ranks in the top ten of Auckland's food list and can be said to be an Internet celebrity restaurant. It is a typical New Zealand restaurant, full of Maori food culture. Although each dish is simple to make, it is very tasty and brings out the freshness of the ingredients to the fullest. It is really delicious.
