Where to Eat in Auckland over Labour Weekend

An extra day off calls for something good on the table. Whether you’re central or heading across the bridge, we’ve got your Labour Weekend dining sorted. Even better, our $10 Sundays menu means selected beers, wines, spirits, two classic cocktails and fries are all $10 at every one of our venues open on Sunday. Here’s where to settle in.

Sports & Rec

Sylvia Park

A big weekend deserves a big screen, and at Sports & Rec we’ve got plenty to keep the whole crew entertained between plays. Join us to back Auckland FC against Western Sydney Wanderers at 7pm on Saturday, or make Sunday a family affair with foosball and a proper roast feast.

Our Roast-isserie Sundays give you the choice of classic rotisserie chicken or roast cauliflower, served with golden roast potatoes, seasonal roasted root vegetables, roast onion and herb stuffing, and rich roast gravy.

The Lula Inn

Princes Wharf, Auckland

You don’t need to leave Auckland for a mini Pacific escape. Down by the water, Lula Inn serves fresh flavours with a new menu that has plenty to love.

Start with the Tiki Taco Cones, filled with sesame tuna tartare or raspberry beetroot tartare, then share hot honey fried chicken with seaweed togarashi, pickled pawpaw and herb slaw. If you’re settling in for a meal, try the Snapper Suruwa with braised fennel, coconut curry sauce and wakame jam. Add a cocktail and your favourite people, and you’re golden.

Rosie’s Red-Hot Cantina

Takapuna, Viaduct

Whichever side of the bridge you’re on, you can have a taste of California via Tāmaki Makaurau. Our Takapuna and Viaduct cantinas bring the energy from lunchtime to late, with tacos, burgers and margaritas galore. Drop in for a bite after a wander around the waterfront, or get the group together for a feast. With Monday off, you don’t need to rush home.

Moretons Bar & Restaurant

Tamaki Drive, St Heliers

Set yourself up at a beachfront table with a cold beer and Rangitoto in the distance. At our St Heliers local, we’ll welcome you in with bistro-quality food, premium New Zealand beers and panoramic views across the water. Come in for lunch, then stretch your legs along the beach. Are you game enough for a post-lunch dip?

Goldie’s Bar & Yard

Hurstmere Road, Takapuna

Inject a little country spirit into your Labour Weekend plans. At Goldie’s, we’re serving modern American food, Southern-inspired share plates and flavour-packed cocktails to boot.

Settle into a cosy booth or while away an afternoon in light, bright The Yard surrounded by Western murals, with a fully retractable roof that’s made for sunlit days. If you fancy some friendly competition after lunch, there’s a pool table in The Bar to get your game on.
