Best Brunch Restaurants in Shortland

I just enjoyed a wonderful boozy breakfast brunch at Autumn Rooms. Perhaps the best brunch I’ve ever eaten from the Bloody Mary to the sublime Açai Bowl (particular credit to the young man on the team who made granola that sings 😊) and finishing with a good long black. Sat out the back in a shaded, spacious area with lots of plants. Service staff didn’t have notebooks but always had smiles. Thanks for making my birthday one to remember. If only you could do something about me turning 54 🤔. All good wishes, Sal

It may not look like much from the outside, but boy oh boy were we surprised today. The food was absolutely spectacular. It was authentic and yet so beautifully presented. We ordered cooked dishes, not dim sum and dumplings. The beef was exceptional and the sweet and sour fish was Devine. The vegetables were crunchy and the tofu seafood dish was very tasty. The atmosphere was wonderful with beautiful colours and coordinating tableware. The bathrooms were clean and comfortable and parking was easy to get too. All in all, we would go back again and again and again. A spectacular food joint.

Meantime is my favorite restaurant in Hamilton -Newcastle, I usually go Tuesday Wednesday nights when trade is a little slower, however there is always more business than one server can handle, Hannah is a great server and Meantime owners should be glad they have her, but there should be 2 servers this close to Christmas.

Food was excellent Service was great and atmosphere is perfect for fun summer catch ups

Great food Great staff Great service Definitely go back again
