Orphans Kitchen

Huge disappointment, our broccoli was way too sour, too much vinegar, almost impossible to eat. The crumpets had no taste, the poached eggs came with just a tiny piece of burnt bread and the caneles were completely burnt. Completely overpriced.

We had a catch up lunch at Orphans Kitchen in Ponsonby and the service was wonderful with promptly seated and being attentively waited upon. The espresso was exceptional especially using their homemade hazelnut milk.

We ordered the kumara tortilla with crispy skin snapper which was lovely with Antipodes sparkling water. For a sweet treat we also had the chocolate hazelnut brownie which was unctuous and lovely. I’d like to dine in for dinner next time. Highly recommended!

The staff were excellent and the food was superb

I loved the decor and cosy atmosphere, I had the kumera chips with kawakawa mayo, which were very tasty.

Really nice place. The food was absolutely superb!!! We had the mutton, pappa and fish of the day. Busy atmosphere with friendly, knowledgable laid back staff, the kind that make you feel instantly welcome. I'd describe it as laid back fine dining. High recommend.
