20 kiosk road, parnell, auckland & waiheke island

look at what you’ll see on our food trail guide…

Why: We visited and were taken by the opportunity to sit in a piece of New Zealand’s history, and to experience a moment just a little back in time - this pavilion was created in 1913 as a model of an “ideal home” for New Zealanders. And there was also the chance to enjoy some hot soup on a crisp day…
What’s more: This daytime cafe serves up classic fare from a menu and cabinet choices. There’s outside seating for blue sky days, and plenty of inside options… including a few benches by the window to look out at the park and ponds.
What else: One good thing to do here - you’re in the Auckland Domain, plenty of park to wander, and the War Memorials Museum is there too, with some impressive collections and exhibitions to explore.
