Excellent Vietnamese, an atmosphere that is fun, special or casual as you make it. If you have been to Hoi An the food will be familiar. No bookings, if there is a wait then XuXu, their sister bar/dumpling bar across the road is perfect place to wait.

Ah, iconic Prego. Great courtyard area for summer evenings. Very child friendly early in the evening - 5-7 - good kids menu but it can be a little overrun with kids - but after this expect a wait at their bar - don't go too hungry if you turn up like the rest of town from 7 - so get in early or relax at the bar for your turn.

Sightseeing
If you love a vineyard visit for lunch or dinner you wont go wrong heading over to Waiheke. The ferry is 30mins and $40 return. There's a quaint village - buses and cabs from the ferry building. I would recommend Tantalus (book in advance) Te Motu, StoneyRidge or Mudbrick - but there are many many more. Take your togs as there are some good beaches also - or electric bikes to get around i hear.

Consigli per viaggiatori

Bus Car - called a HOP card.
If you plan to bus a HOP card is handy. However it is $10 for the card. Buses do take cash but best to have exact change. The Superette along the road (under 5min walk) have them.
Best to download the AT Mobile app, and use the Journey Planner. Can be used for two people - just ask driver to add another person. Can be used for Ferries but you need one per person.
