Soul Bar & Bistro

Beautiful food and lovely view overlooking the water. My salad had such beautiful flavours with every mouthful!! Big servings !! The pate was devine too We booked for lunch - as had been disappointed before for not booking.

I had read about Soul before visiting Auckland so when my husband and I were walking around the harbor and saw it, I needed to try it! The staff was super accommodating for our walk in and seated us right away. Our server was great with recommendations and attentiveness. We got the pea risotto which was so creamy and delicious but the lamb rack was the true star. It was cooked perfectly and the sauces were great. We were celebrating our honeymoon and they even brought out a little desert for us. Highly recommend for the food, staff and vibes!

WOW. I am blown away by this place. My new favorite spot in Auckland. First off, the vibe in the place is incredible. The entire place is so cute!! If your looking for a place to go and have nice drinks in a gorgeous more upscale environment, i definitely recommend this place for that. Secondly, let me say the service here is outstanding. I worked in miami nightlife, restaurants and bars in america for years and you would think at this place theyre working off tips because they are on top of the service. No waiting to order and super attentive to the table for everything like refilling water, noticing our wines were under half, and clearing dishes immediately. Best service I have had in Auckland since i moved here one year ago. Lastly, the food and drinks were up to par as well. They had a vegetarian menu for me which was amazing and the ricotta tortelli was delicious as well as the goat frais app. My boyfriends prawn & saffron dish was great too. Amazing wine and drink selection too. I cant wait to come back!

A group of friends and I enjoyed a beautiful few hours with a fabulous lunch and service at Soul Bar for my birthday. The food was superb and we were treated like Queen's. So much variety in cuisine, it was difficult to choose from such a varied menu. The whitebait fritters were divine - more a delicate crepe in lemon butter, just superb, as was the trevally toast, crudo, crayfish crumpet and oysters. My friends devoured their duck gnocchi ragout and commented how tender and delicious it was. A friend who dines at Soul regularly could not bypass the Green Goddess salad and Korean chicken and I will be back for that! We could not fault a single thing. Thank you Soul Bar for a wonderful experience and for my sweet birthday treat at the end of our meal.

We felt like having a special date night last week, I had been to Soul before just for drinks but had heard the food was exceptional. Despite being a Tuesday night, Soul Bar & Bistro was lively, busy and definitely the place for a fancy date night, work drinks, and family/friends group dinners. The staff are lovely and helpful and food was amazing. I had to try the famous Mac n Cheese - was unlike anything else I've had, did not dissapoint! Drinks were really good as well. All round the spot if you have anyone you'd like to take to a nice dinner on the waterfront. Still raving about it- we will be back

Soul Bar & Bistro is definitely one of our favourite places in Auckland, we happened to walk past it multiple times but never had been in until a few weeks ago. We absolutely loved the vibes and you definitely are getting what you pay for, the food was delicious (our favourite would've been the green goddess salad, prawn pasta & mac & cheese). We ended up going again last weekend to celebrate a birthday and had a lovely waitress I think from memory called Anessa? She made it super special and was super accomodating! Definitely will be back 🙂

I’m so glad I chose Soul to celebrate my graduation! Everything was absolutely perfect — the food, the atmosphere, and especially the amazing staff who were incredibly friendly and kind. The beautiful dessert you brought out made me feel so special — thank you for that sweet surprise! I’m truly happy I picked your restaurant for such an important day. I’ll definitely be back. 10/10 all the way!
