Super unique restaurant conveniently located in the downtown area near sky tower. Offering up some fantastic seafood and land based dishes. To start, the complimentary hummus and pita really hits the spot with an aesthetically pleasing start. Pita perfectly soft, thin but pillowy. Next up came a half dozen oysters two of each type on offer that day. Small but juicy and easy to differentiate between the different species. Super fresh, light amount of lemon juice pairs perfectly well. Then came the half size bone marrow which was perfect for one person. Crunchy toasted French baguette with the creamy perfectly roasted marrow was a match made in heaven. Perfectly dressed with a nice tartness, the coriander salad in the corner was the perfect counterbalance. The main dish was the clam with a pizza pita underneath. Loved the fresh clams that were each large, plump and juicy. The braising liquid was the perfect dressing. To top it all off, the staff was super friendly, quick, paying at the counter was a breeze.

SNAPPER SLIDER + BONE MARROW - Highly recommended dishes. The snapper sliders were served as a three, but can be customised to the amount needed. The snapper was grilled, it was perfectly cooked which was moist and soft. This was complimented well with the lemony mayo sauce, along with the fresh tasting buns. It is perfection. Bone marrow is an unique dish. The experience is like no other, where you scrape the bone marrow and spread it onto a wholegrain seedy bread. It has a nice meaty fatty taste. Then you have it with some of the salad greens and capers, and it makes for a very memorable taste. Staff were best in my recent dining experiences, they were very attentative, kept our water cups full and checked in on us. It is a walk in only, but often seats available as turnover is fast. Their cocktails are also amazing!! One of the best restaurants in Auckland in 2024 for dining out, where there is a nice balance in ratio of affortability, to service, to delicious food! Highly recommend!

I went with my daughter for dinner. It’s a small but very cool restaurant with casual ambience. As the name suggests we ordered the oysters and we had a feast! They were the right size and super fresh. Then we shared the crisp “freedom farms” pork hock with apple and horseradish and salsa verde. The pork was really crispy and tasty, the meat was carved from the bone and very tender and moist. Loved the horseradish mash. The three ingredients complemented each other. We also shared the Greg’s courgette flowers with Persian feta and Pinole pine nuts. The flowers were almost a tempura which combined which combined with the fried slices of courgette, feta and pine nuts making this dish amazing delicious! I don’t advise the sugar pie though which is considered a speciality. Too much sugar and it’s texture was not that creamy. The restaurant doesn’t accept table reservations and like most New Zealand’s restaurants the wine is too expensive! I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

I booked a table at 12 today. The foods were nice, but very disappointed about their service. They made a mistake, and I could not hear a single word “Sorry” from any of them, including the manager. When I was paying for the bill, the bill was extremely high, but I paid without any doubt as I thought depot is not a low-quality restaurant. However, after I walked out of the restaurant, my friend showed me the receipt and they charged me 80 DOLLAR FOR A GLASS OF WINE. So I went back to ask for a refund, but no apologies from any of them about their mistake, they were just like “uh”. I felt like I am the one who needs to be sorry and thankful. I am never upset about mistakes made in hospitality, but the quality of restaurant can be defined by how they solve their mistake. My overall experience at depot was disappointing. Their quality of hospitality didn't suit the place.

THE Kiwi restaurant of NZ. Where does Gordon Ramsey go when he wants a taste of NZ? Depot. Where do Auckland Foodies go for a cosmopolitan but rustic, Kiwi-as night out with their out-of-town friends? Depot. Depot, every bloody time. Why? Because it's always down-to-earth, 1st class food. The original wine-on-tap place. The original raw bar. The original (and still one of the best) Kiwi small sharing plate place. There are classics on the menu from the 1st day it opened, there are staff who will surprise you with dishes after you explain your tastes, there are new dishes that push the boundaries of what "simple but excellent" food can look like. Not a place for the hearing impaired. This place is LOUD and buzzing. But they're amazing. Put your name on the list, pop out to a local bar for a cocktail, and come back for a great night of food and drink. Love it.
