Basalt - Auckland

Dined here couple of weeks ago, loved it. Great beer selection and pork belly is the best. Will definitely be back.

The food was fresh and delicious. the staff is so friendly and welcoming.

The only suggestion i would add regarding the menu is, its hard to read small lettering on a rea background. Excellent seating upstairs too

Went to Basalt Tuesday evening for beers and bar snacks. The bar snacks were the best ever. Absolutely delicious and so good the way they were prepared and presented. Quite innovative and some thought has gone in to the latest offerings. Top marks to the chef/s. 10/10. Garlic bread with seeds etc was superb. Basalt has always been good but this time it was really the best. Well done.

We came here for lunch when they recently updated their menu with new options. We ordered the Smoked Brisket Rye Club, Basalt Corn Fritters and the Karaage Chicken. The pickles and the brisket in the club sandwich balanced each other so well and the corn fritters with relish were so delicious. The chicken was cooked well and not too dry and their coffee was pretty standard too. The flavour bomb had us licking our plates and full of satisfaction. The waiter was really attentive to us and ambience was nice as it wasn't too busy when they opened.<br/ <br/ Food 5/5<br/ Ambience 5/5<br/ Service 5/5
