We recommend restaurants for their quality ingredients and passion for their kitchen-craft. Some middle of the range restaurants permit you to bring your own wine, B.Y.O.. Labeled as (BYO) here below. Dining out in New Zealand offers great value for money. New Zealand is blessed with the best ingredients in the world, mostly organically grown or even just caught from nature. You will love Parnell for the broad range of excellent cuisine available. Combined with the excellent breakfast at our house, you are in for a treat. Tipping is generally not expected in New Zealand restaurants.
