Ada - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Pretty good place, very cute place for a couple or date. We came in a big group and it catered very well! We had the set menu which was a OK amount for the price, dishes were full of flavour however relatively smaller than what we would have liked. The drinks are the best here!

The best way to say goodbye to our New Zealand trip! The dinner at Ada was an incredible experience, the place was very cool, the stuff super friendly and try the best maori-fusion food! We sat in the counter and we even had the chance to speak with chef and ask for his recommendations directly! Definitely this was the best way we could end our trip and we only wish we can come back some day! We’ll definitely recommend this place to all our friends visiting NZ!

Managed to skip the reservation and crash this eclectic offering. Wonderful old church, a little spooky which adds to the appeal. Food offerings were exquisitely executed. Service was warm and inviting. Ada is definitely a special occasion destination. A must try on the top of Auckland dining list!

Lovely staff throughout our arrival and service. I initially felt a bit unsure sitting on the high chairs by the chef but it ended up being quite entertaining. Chef Kia out did himself as we love every dish. Went for the bacon fried bread to start with and spotted the friarielli which really brought the dish together. Loved the texture of the potato dough boys gnocchi style dish, had just the right amount of cream but I would have loved more beans/asparagus and less peas. The roasted cauliflower was not as warm as I had hoped but the fennel complimented the dish well and it tasted amazing nonetheless. I would usually have my pork belly crispy so I would probably come back to try the fish instead next time. Also had the pleasure of trying the signature Ada purple lemonade which wasn't too sweet or overpowering, definitely recommend. We ended the night with the chocolate Panna cotta which wasn't really set so it ended up being more on the ice cream side of things. All in all, good experience and a beautiful restaurant with the exposed brick and textured walls. Would likely come back to share the experience with others.

The long lunch is a must of you're in Auckland! They under charge it's ridiculous. Get there before the prices go up. Service was amazing and the place is beautiful but the food is heaven! We had the pleasure of staying overnight so it was nice to just walk up the stairs with over full bellies
