Homeland

Food was amazing, the views out over the water and harbour bridge were top notch and the service was great. Will absolutely be coming back. We had sticky lamb ribs and pigs head croquettes to start, steak for mains and a beautiful soft and creamy cheesecake for dessert. The peach cocktails were a hit too!

A spacious restaurant located next to the waterfront with a stunning view. It has a spacious and bright indoor seating space as well as a lovely courtyard. Friendly staff and quick service. Food was excellent, amazing flavours. My favourites were the lamb ribs, paua ciabatta, and the blue cheese beetroot.

Overall it was a very good experience. Service was excellent. When my friend sent a dish back the staff were so obliging and friendly. Aside from a slight issue with one of our mains, the food was very good. The desserts were a particular highlight.

Homeland is such a lovely, calming space. It’s one of those restaurants that is quiet enough to hear your friends talk but lively enough to feel like you’re part of something exciting, with that low hum of other conversations going on around you. The ambience is perfect and the staff so friendly. I was also impressed by the wealth of delicious & unique cocktails (including a mango lassi one & a kimchi Bloody Mary!) and the wide variety of vegetarian & vegan options. Everything pictured is vegetarian & some of it vegan! And I love how many Aotearoa / NZ specific ingredients (like kawakawa) are utilized so beautifully. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)

I’m happy that I come for breakfast before heading home. Recommend to come with few friends as they have interesting menu so you can share to try more from the menu. I’m happy with my Turkish egg. I love eggs and yogurt but never think that Turkish eggs, whipped garlic yogurt, chilli butter is a good combination but it works. It serve with a slice of sourdough. Recommend to share by two, I finish it by myself tho. My boyfriend ordered Smoked Salmon, soft boiled egg with yuzu hummus. The salmon taste so good and the whole plate is nicely presented. Last but not least the cheese scones is their signature too. Very crispy outside and butterfly soft inside. Delicious, I asked for strawberry jam too. There are smoothies and fancy drinks menu that I can’t try it all. But I’ll definitely come again next time to try more from the breakfast menu, brunch and dinner.

Amazing coffee and cheese scone! would recommend booking in advance as on weekend they can get very busy, lucky to get a table without booking the other day. had salmon dish and creamed paua, the price is def higher for the portion you get but the quality and taste makes up for it. and the coffee is def the best in Auckland imo, I would come back even just for a cup of coffee and cheese scone. They are also pet friendly, so easy to take your dog walking around marina afterwards

Whether it is sitting outside, watching the sailboats in the blue sky and white clouds, or the spacious interior decorated with Cozy, it is visually quite comfortable. There was a girl who served very well and was very considerate. My wife likes their coffee very much, it tastes great. I love honey ginger tea, this is the real honey ginger tea. The fish of the day was Blue Cod and the fish was handled very well. The combination of greens and a prawn wonton was interesting, and there were a few slices of porcini in the soup (probably). Food handling is mixed. The restaurant has cooking classes. There are also a lot of ingredients and cooking ware for sale. Parking is limited and there is a 60-minute limit at noon.

Beautiful ambience, quite a relaxed yet modern atmosphere, dishes are beautifully curated, carefully outsourced by local produce providers and ethically thought through when put together as a dish. I love the idea behind how the components of each dish come together and homeland imparts a nostalgic message to remind us the journey our food takes before being served for us. The mains we picked were good, did remind me of standard cafe style brunch food done well but not wowed. The dishes were slightly on the smaller end, but still a joy to eat and it meant a clear plate. Highlight of our picks was the corn ribs-that really hit different, well seasoned, lip smackingly good, I’m grateful the staff suggested it. Oh not to mention their in house baked focaccia is really good, got me into a whole focaccia phase and I just can’t seem to replicate it, I dream of eating more focaccia.
