After we finished visited the Auckland Museum and the Wintergarden we were pretty hungry.  We were tempted by the Wintergarden Pavillion’s amazing location and we weren’t disappointed.  They have a beautiful, covered outdoor seating area overlooking a pond with a fountain that really takes advantage of their location in Auckland Domain.

Ian had the fish and chips, $22.  It was lightly battered with a mildly sweet flavor.  It was a little on the oily side.  It was served with a nice sprouts garnish.

Wendy had the roasted eggplant and halumi cheese.  The chewy cheese was drizzled with pesto and olive oil.  It was very good!   The meal came with sundried tomato pesto bread which was slightly crispy and delicious!

The service was excellent and the location couldn’t be beat!  It was a wonderfully relaxing lunch to cap off a great morning exploring some of Auckland’s best sights.
