Tuitui Museum Bistro & Café

World class level museum Café from start to finish. Location and quality of fittings and atmosphere is up there with London, Paris or New York. And so is the service and quality of food and drinks. Have a coffee and a sweet or savoury dish and taste one of New Zealand‘s top craft beer brewery McLeod‘s from Waipu here on tap. Culture with a nice kiwi 🥝 twist also in form of the famous tomato ketchup squeeze bottle. What’s there not to love about this place and setting.

Very delicious- a good frosting to cupcake ratio, and very quick and attentive staff. Definitely a well oiled machine, they were able to quickly serve me and five other customers in about five minutes. Prices are a bit high - be prepared to spend $$! Portions aren't stingy or generous, just what you'd expect. Seats are hard plastic, a little uncomfortable. Table are cleaned and wiped down by staff, who quickly replace cutlery and napkins holders. As it is the museum, there is some background chatter but you'll still be able to hear your table conversations. If possible, try to prepack your lunch before going to the museum- there is a kai room you can eat in! The cafe is OK - the price is the main con.

Sat in bistro section. Served by Sally. Awesome service to everyone around us. Elevated to outstanding when advised husband was coeliac. Great care given in checking with kitchen staff. Lots of effort given to ensure he had a great experience. Very thoughtful in serving my mum with dementia. Really nice food. Highly reccomend Thanks Sally and staff.

Had a lovely lunch with family at Tuitui Museum Bistro and Cafe. The pizza was cheesy and delicious the cranberry sauce was a surprise but really worked! Chicken burger was okay, and the chips were crisp and tasty. Big thanks to Sali for the friendly service. Nice spot to relax and enjoy a meal in a beautiful setting.

A decent eatery with friendly staff. A simple but very innovative idea they have implemented is that the kids menu has a colouring sheet which my son loved.

Went to see the Auckland Museum with family and this was the second time visiting the cafe. Amazing food absolutely loved the Mediterranean pizza. The atmosphere was hood and Nathan - the guy serving us was absolutely amazing.

We were hungry and thought we could get something. We normally do not patronize food at museums. This knocked our socks off! We split a Waygu smashburger and it was delicious! The service was prompt and friendly and the restaurant was very clean! Highly recommended!

We have lunch during our visit to museum. It was busy afternoon but luckily we managed to get table. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Modern environment with nicely decorated. Foods are good. I was very happy with charred chicken skewers with roti and my wife enjoyed her seafood chowder. My son was very excited to have his Trex plate but the portion of dinosaur sandwich was too small that he had to order another meal to make his tummy happy 😆. Overall we are happy with our visit.
