Depot Auckland: Total Letdown (My Honest Take!) đš
I gave in to the hype and finally visited Depotâonly to leave feeling so disappointed! đ€ Letâs be completely honest (this is purely my personal opinionâyours might differ!):This restaurant is constantly touted as a âmust-tryâ for foodies in Auckland, but honestly? It was just⊠mediocre. đ€·âïž No standout dishes, no memorable flavors, and absolutely zero âwowâ momentsâtotal letdown when compared to the endless glowing reviews Iâd seen online. We waited ages for a table (even with a reservation!), and when the food finally arrived? Nothing impressed. The portions were average, the flavors were basic (not terrible, but definitely not worth the hype), and the atmosphere felt overcrowded instead of chic. đ„± I went in with extremely high expectations, imagining bold, creative bitesâbut left thinking, âIs that really all the fuss about?â Donât misunderstandâitâs not a bad restaurant by any means, but itâs far from the âbest in Aucklandâ title itâs been given. If youâre after authentic, flavorful food or looking for value for your money, there are countless underrated gems in the city that do an amazing job without the social media fanfare! đ Save your time (and cash!) unless youâre determined to check it off a bucket listâyouâre better off exploring Aucklandâs lesser-known spots for a truly unforgettable meal. #AucklandDepot #AucklandFood #AucklandFoodie #FoodieFail #OverhypedRestaurants #HonestFoodReview #NZFood #AucklandEats #RedbookRecommendations #FoodDisappointment #NZFoodie
