Scarecrow - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Couldnt wait to write about it... Just been here for the restaurant month.. Not a great start to be honest with the greet and seat thingy.. But i think the food definetly covers up for it...<br/ Started of with the vegetable kofte and the beetroot hummus and i should say the flavour pairing was amazing.. I personally think the kofte could be cooked a wee bit more cz i could taste a bit of a raw taste in it.. The beetroot hummus was really really good..<br/ Moving on to the second course we got the iraqi pilaf with crispy onion roasted butternut and tahini cream.. Only one thing about this i can think.. FAULTLESS, couldnt be any better.<br/ <br/ The dessert couldnt honestly get what was going on in there but i loved the vanilla coconut labneh that came with it<br/ <br/ Over all had a great time would surely come back to try different stuff

Have been here with a friend twice. If you get the tea for two the teapot isn't super well designed so it tends to leak when pouring. My friend had the cheesecake and said it was nice and light but the crust was a bit too sweet. Pretty pricey but their stuff is fresh and there's a whole lot of fresh produce you can get from here

Every time I walk past I get a high from the amazing smell. Love the rustic vibes of this place and their simply but beautifully executed menu. The shakshuka is amazing. A wonderful choice for brunch.

I’ve come here a few times but mainly for their cabinet food, this was my first time ordering from their menu. I got the shakashouka which was absolutely divine, loved everything about the dish. The bread, the egg, sausages and the tomatoes were all great. It was a bit too big of a portion for me, very very filling, so I do wish I hadn’t added on the sausages in the end. <br/ <br/ Service was quite friendly and helpful when I had questions about the menu items, a little bit of a wait but that’s expected when you come for lunch on the weekend. Overall, a pretty nice place and I would definitely come here again.

Just a quick tip, you have to order at the counter first before you are seated, which was kind of confusing at first. My friend and I came here for lunch and it was pretty busy. She got the millennial bagel and I got the matakana organic eggs (scrambled) with smoked salmon. The artisan bread was really delicious, I think it was sourdough and it was super crunchy and fresh. The eggs were pretty average as I felt they were too buttery for my liking (which is beneficial if you like buttery eggs since it leaks onto the bread so it soaks up the butter). The smoked salmon was delicious as well.
