Mr. Morris

Excellent meal at the restaurant. We chose to let ourselves be guided by the tasting experience, and we were not disappointed. Each dish is crafted with great care, and the plating perfectly matches the flavours on the plate. We were lucky enough to be seated at the counter, giving us the chance to watch the kitchen team work with excellence and a smile. As for the service, everyone was incredibly attentive. Each dish was explained to us in detail, and the staff were warm, professional, and genuinely friendly. Spending our one evening in Auckland at Mr Morris was truly a pleasure. It’s definitely an address you can visit with complete confidence.

We dined at Mr Morris for our 6th anniversary and had a lovely time. The service was impeccable - they even had a card saying “Happy Anniversary” from the Mr Morris team, along with a complimentary snack of pumpkin seeds, which was a thoughtful touch. For drinks, I had two different sakes, I highly recommend the Tsuru-ume Yuzu Sake. My designated driver had a grapefruit soda, which was also excellent. To start, we shared the sourdough with whipped chicken fat. While it wasn’t anything too special flavour wise, it was a creative alternative to the usual butter you find at most restaurants. For entrees, we ordered the dehydrated carrots with nduja, which were very good. The texture of the carrots was particularly interesting (in a good way), and the sauce reminded me of a more intense version of penne alla vodka sauce. For mains, we had the scotch fillet and pumpkin agnolotti, accompanied by sides of potatoes and a pear and walnut salad. In my opinion, the potatoes were slightly undercooked for my liking, and the pear lacked a bit of crunch. Dessert was my favourite course, a seasonal summer berries dish with honeycomb. Overall, I would definitely recommend Mr Morris for a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary, or any celebration. Their attention to detail in both food and service is outstanding

ngl Mr. Morris is kinda hit or miss. The first time I came here, the food blew me away, but the second time not so much...Their meat dishes are definitely solid, cooked well most of the time, and the sides are pretty good but the fish not really my vibe. Could just be me not being a huge fish fan. Veggie stuff is alright too, but if you’re coming specifically for vegetarian ig a cafe might be a better move. Cocktails are actually really good and pair well with the food, so props for that. One thing though, service could use some attention. Nothing crazy, but little things like personal hygiene do matter in a place like this. I mean, if the staff’s own body smell is part of the “vibe” that’s supposed to go with the food, maybe a heads-up to customers would be nice. A quick mouth freshener or a bit of cologne would make the whole experience feel cleaner and more polished. yea cool spot for a meat-heavy meal and drinks, but don’t expect every visit to be a 10/10.

Had a lovely dining experience at Mr Morris. The staff were friendly and atmosphere was welcoming. The wine selection was excellent, our choice was full of flavour. The food was creative and thoughtfully presented, with generous portions for the mains. However, while two of the dishes looked stunning, their taste didn’t quite live up to the presentation. Overall, still an enjoyable meal and a place worth visiting for its service, wine, and inventive menu.

My friend and I tried the “Mr Morris Experience Menu”, which included eight dishes each plus a side of potatoes to share - and what an exceptional culinary experience that was! What I love most about this restaurant is how creative and thoughtfully executed the food is. Every dish features unique flavour combinations, beautiful presentation, and a strong emphasis on textures, spices, and balance. The sauces they pair with the dishes are absolutely divine and provide a distinctive touch. 🦑 The highlight of the night was the squid (for both of us) - it doesn’t look like much but the flavours came together beautifully and the squid was incredibly tender. 🥔 The sauce that came with the potato side also deserves a special mention. If only the potatoes had been crispy, they would have been THE ultimate potato dish in town. 🐟 I hate snapper, but the way they cooked it could convince me otherwise. It was unbelievably soft and didn’t have that rough/dry texture that usually puts me off. The yeast emulsion it came with was amazing. 🥥🍦 The salted coconut ice cream really took us by surprise - super refreshing and came with crunchy desiccated coconut around it. The smoked banana caramel was a nice touch. 👎🏽 The only let-down was the cauliflower dish, which lacked flavour and substance. It felt underwhelming compared to the others, mostly consisting of shaved raw cauliflower with three prawns underneath. This was my fourth visit and just like every other time, I absolutely loved it (cauliflower aside)! It was my first time trying the set menu after always going à la carte, and I’d still highly recommend this place!

It was our 37th wedding anniversary this week and to treat ourselves we went to this lovely restaurant. We have been once before and loved it so this was a return visit. It was as great as we remembered. Lovely staff, wonderful food and just a great vibe. Meitaki maata for the added touch of an anniversary card!

We had a wonderful birthday dinner at Mr. Morris and absolutely loved the experience! The food was beautifully presented and full of flavour. I especially enjoyed the sauces, which were incredibly tasty and elevated each dish. The cocktails and wines were also fantastic, creative, balanced, and just the right touch for a special celebration. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, such a memorable evening. Highly recommend for a refined yet relaxed dining experience!

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Auckland rn. Staff were so warm and welcoming and the food was next level! The sommelier and waitress were extremely helpful in choosing our food etc and the pacing of the meal was perfect (no awkward super long waits) we will definitely be back! Ps. Get the chicken skin parfait, squid starter & duck for the main YUMMMM
