Rhythm Cafe — Restaurant in Hibiscus and Bays

Unsafe Food practises! Eat here at your own risk! I ordered a Thai Chicken Wrap for lunch at Rhythm Cafe. It was my first time eating here. It arrived and the chicken on the edge was dry and old looking. I took a small mouth full of filo pastry which seemed ok but then peeled back the filo pastry to see a huge lump (3cm diameter) of black/green mould with white furry edge right through the chicken filling in the centre of the wrap. Disgusting! The waiter took it straight back to the kitchen but no one bothered to come and talk to me. When I challenged the owner she quickly offered me a refund. I asked her why the food was like this and she said the refrigerator had been broken for the last 24 hours. That they were making new wraps but instead of chucking the old food away they had continued to serve it to customers! I was shocked and I told her this was not acceptable food safety practise in NZ. They do not deserve the A rating they have. I have since laid a complaint to “food and safety” with the council. I will never eat...

The day's quick pace, the hurried race, Finds a home in...

Tucked away down in the courtyard is this fabulous cafe that was open on Labor Day, when Miss 10 and I were looking for a bite to eat. A delicious tropical smoothie for her and iced coffee for me, the containers filled to the brim! We shared a basket of fries with aoli and tomato sauce, with thw fries covered in a flavored salt. It was so nice we went back for a second basket. We sat inside at an open window that overlooked the courtyard. The lovely staff member went outside to serve us through the window with a smile and friendly comment. We had a lovely time here and felt that we had value for money. Highly...
