Q - Auckland

This is my local coffee spot on the week days -generally coffee is good, nice and strong. Also, it’s a good spot for one-to-one meetings with your boss: Their ham and cheese croissants are very filling and flavoursome and recently I tried Caesar salad with chicken. The portion was big, filling but I thought there a little too many anchovies that overpowered the flavour of the salad. Will be back to try more food off the lunch menu.

It was about lunch time when I walked through the doors of this cafe, I was really feeling like breakfast menu : when I walked in I was great by a girl and sat down at the table. A young polite gentleman came over and said did she explain what the specials where I said. No... then I just asked him if they where doing breakfast he said no. : so I asked if there was a salmon bagel left he said we have one. I had it was nothing special there was not enough flavour more dill and more cheese would of been nice. The iced coffee was really strong just what I needed. I will go back to try the proper breakfast or lunch menu. <br/ <br/

I went to Citizen in a event by Zomato, so the experience is probably not the same I'd have in a regular day.<br/ <br/ But the food they were serving was the same in the menu, and I'd say most of it was quite good: the bread, the shrimp, the salad, the ribs and the squid.<br/ <br/ The only two things that weren't very good were the curry and the cheesecake.<br/

I love Q Theatre!! And was stoked when I was invited to Citizen Q for a Zomato foodie meet up! All profits from the restaurant and bar are used to support the budding community of musicians, start up filmmakers and performing artists.On our visit we were treated to a tasting platter of chicken wings, lamb cutlets, salad, mushroom arancini, prawn twisters and a pesto cob loaf. My favourite part of the platter would have been the succulent rare lamb cutlets and arancini risotto. The cob loaf maybe was a bit dry for my liking I would have loved more pesto spread all over the insides rather than just a dollop in the centre as the loaf was very large. Maybe the salad could have used more dressing or balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and leaves but I'm also not much of a salad person.Our chef kindly treated us to three desserts: warm sticky date pudding with icecream, chocolate mousse, and cheesecake cups. The cheesecake and mousse were very rich (probably best to share these between 2) but the sticky date totally hit the spot. I would totally recommend this, even if you don't like dates.Overall great experience and I look forward to stopping for dinner before the next concert at Q.

$10 lunch special on a Friday. Delicious steak, polenta and broccoli. The polenta was absolutely delicious, could have had a tub of this to take home with me. Steak was cooked well and cut nicely. Just can't beat this for the special of the week. Meals were served quickly, and all staff are very friendly.
