Almost perfect. Everything has high quality. Meat, bread, salads. The beef was slightly rough and salad was over-salty. But lamb was perfect.

BBQ! I recommend the chorizo. The pork belly was also good, but the beef steak was quite tough (maybe due to the meat quality?). I liked that plenty of side salad was served with the main dish. When I visited, there was only one chef and one manager working, but they were professional and friendly even in a fully packed and busy situation – true superstars! It's a great place to stop by for a drink with the chorizo.

This small restaurant serves a really nice meat. We ordered some dishes and beer, everything was amazing! I loved my short rib. The salad that comes together has a nice sauce. My friend told me they serve "farofa" to eat with meat, but unfortunately, they hadn't. The size of the dishes is not big, though. We had some empanadas as an entree, that was a good choice. It's hard to find parking nearby.

The Food was absolutely delicious. The meat was nice and tender, juicy and cooked to perfection. I love that there is always a salad in the side for the mains and that they recommend wine pairings of each dish. I find it very thoughtful. The place is very cozy which is perfect for date night. We had the perfect spot in front of the bar where you can see the chef at work .

A cozy spot with great vibes. The food is amazing, stumbled upon this spot back in 2020 and was amazed by the food. Came back again recently and it was what I remembered. Perfectly cooked meat, amazing sauces. I would say it is a carnivores dream to just have all that amazing meat! The service is great and the staff were friendly, just as I remembered. I would definitely recommend getting the platter with multiple meats to share!

Wow. First time here. What a treat to end the week. Went for first table on an Auckland Friday. Outstanding food, drinks, and service from Tomas and the team. Great atmosphere as you’d expect in Ponsonby. Beautifully fresh salads and buns and incredible coal bbq’d meat. Perfectly cooked steak. Sumptuous, all round! Cheers
