No.8

Absolutely loved our experience at No.8 Restaurant in Whangarei! The food was delicious and beautifully presented - I had the raw tuna and calamari, both were just fabulous. My daughter had something from the kids' menu and really enjoyed it too. The service was outstanding ,the waitresses were super friendly, caring, and gave us the best recommendations. Can’t wait to come back!

Dinner at No. 8 Restaurant in Whangārei was truly something special. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely cared for. A huge thank you to our server, Owen Stephen Telfer, who was a wonderful person. His kindness, humour, intelligence and instincts were spot on. He knew exactly when to guide us and when to simply let us enjoy the moment. He made our evening feel unforgettable. Of course, the experience wouldn’t be complete without the food, and chef Usama deserves real praise. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with passion and care. It was the kind of meal that stays with you long after the plates are cleared. No. 8 isn’t just a place to eat. It’s a place to feel welcomed, surprised, and truly looked after. We’ll be thinking about this dinner for a long time. Merry Christmas! Talib, Jade, Nigel, Anna and Family

We love it here. Wonderful fresh varied food, banging cocktails, and friendly knowledgeable service. Highly recommend!!!!

19 of us celebrated our daughters 16th birthday and we have the best night. Service was wonderful right from the booking to leaving. The lady who served us throughout the night was both friendly and professional. The Atmosphere was pleasant with the bonus of a beautiful view of the town basin in the evening. Now the food.... was delicious!! Full of flavour and a few dishes that packed a punch. The Sesame Prawn toast starter is a must. Thanks all and will be back again.

Just wanted to give a special shout out to our server tonight Henny. She had incredible service and knowledge of the menu and it made our overall experience feel amazing (especially for those with allergies in our group!). We wish her all the best!! Xx

We had the banquet 1 for 4 people for 55 dollars each plus drinks. The food was really good, but the portions were extremely small. We ended up leaving still hungry. We also had to wait for a very long time (1.5 hours) Also one of the dishes listed in the banquet was literally just a small sauce :(

My fiance and I hosted our engagement party here last month and everything was 10/10, from the staff, to the food, to the atmosphere. We had such an incredible night celebrating with family and friends. Despite being a large crowd, the staff were so friendly and accomodating every step of the way and even had disability access for those who required it. We will definitely be back and I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Thank you to Coco and the team :)

Absolutely delicious. We ordered so many plates and shared them all between us. Was a great way to share a birthday meal. Have to say the kale salad, the duck with pancakes and the mushroom dishes were bit hits. Thank you so much for how you brought out the birthday cake too. Will definitely be back :-)

Cute place in the cbd in whaigeri by quay food was great and filling service was excellent got out food super fast. Truffle rice was delish smelled and really taste the truffle. Pork belly was suckulant with spicy sauce. Duck was ok a bit dry for my taste may never order here again .

Right along the harbor front is a wonderful place called No. 8. Starters and main courses on the menu but tapas style size and ordering. The won tons were excellent and the beef tartini was cooked perfectly. And as a native Californian I appreciated chopsticks being available to use.

Very good food. Nice range of cocktails. Dishes that can be shared. Helpful staff. Recommend the Passion 8 cocktail.

Went on date night here and was an excellent choice. Service was great, food was top-notch (shared), and selection of wine excellent. Would love to go back!
