Lady Rosemary was impressed with her meal at Williams Eatery. She had the mushroom with pine buttermilk, porcini crumb, quinoa crisps & pine butternut oil. She said she’ll definitely be bringing her Parnell friends for the dining experience. Her companion had the health bowl of shredded courgette, avocado, honeycomb mushroom in miso dressing + a poached egg with rice cracker. #mushroom #pinebuttermilk #porcinicrumb #quinoacrisps #healthbowl #shreddedcourgette #avocado #honeycombmushrooms #misodressing #poachedegg #williamseatery #daldystreet #wynyardquarter #instaeatery (at Williams Eatery)

Easter catch up with photographer Ken @kendownie at Duck Duck Goose, Rosedale. Chef Willie @nguyenwillie produced excellent dishes while Yessika @yesyessika took the best care of us. We had amuse bouche of roast lamb with Yessika’s dipping sauce that packed a punch with Sichuan pepper and @ddgnz’s variation of Gado Gado. I really wanted to try the Congee, with poached chicken, crispy pork hock, poached egg, sesame cracker and condiments of crispy shallot and toasted peanut. I so love this congee and condiments. Photographer Ken had the pork Belly Bao, of original bao, carrot & daikon pickle slaw, bbq sauce, aioli. Ken demolished this delicious stack. #ddgnz #ddgnzeatery #apollodrive #rosedale #roastlamb #gadogado #congee #condiments #bao #porkbellybao #instaeatery (at Duck Duck Goose Eatery)

Bao wow: Easter treats at Duck Duck Goose. Chicken Karaage Bao: spinach bao, pickled cucumber slaw, pickled ginger, Japanese mayo, togayashi. Or you can try the Tofu Bao (with turmeric bao), Soft Shell Crab Bao or the Pork Belly Bao. Well done Chef Willie @nguyenwillie for the Bao selection. I also spy a Congee on the menu. Next visit, and that will be soon. @yesyessika serves up brilliant cakes. #greenbao #spinachcolouring #yellowbao #tumeric #chickenkaraagebao #baowow #duckduckgooseeatery #ddgnz #instaeatery (at Duck Duck Goose Eatery)

Brunch at Duck Duck Goose. Aunty Alice was mesmerised by the skill of Chefs @nguyenwillie and @yesyessika in producing one of the most beautiful brunches in town. Potato & Kumara Hashcake, with free-range bacon, wild rocket & granny smith salad, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, beetroot relish. It comes in a manuka smoke-filled glass cloche dome. Aunty gasped when the clochec was lifted. She sipped on a beetroot ginger chai latte, watching the presentation of this dish. #potatokumarahash #hashcake #bacon #wildrocket #grannysmithsalad #poachedeggs #hollandaise #beetrootrelish #cloche #manukasmoke #beetrootandginger #chailatte #duckduckgooseeatery #apollodrive #rosedale #northshore #instaeatery (at Duck Duck Goose Eatery)

The most beautiful (and delicious) breakfasts are crafted by Chef Willie Tuyen Nguyen at the intriguingly named Duck Duck Goose Eatery on Apollo Dr, Rosedale. Aunty Renee had this omelette with goat's cheese, rocket, chipotle pepper sauce and crispy shallot. #duckduckgooseeatery #apollodrive #rosedale #northshore #omelette #goatscheese #rocket #chipotlepeppersauce #crispyshallot #artofplating #instaeatery #instacafe (at Duck Duck Goose Eatery)

Amongst meat eaters at Ampersand Eatery, Orakei Basin Village. Challenging light sitting under the red glow of the Ampersand sign, but in a setting where you don't have to shout be heard. Aunties couldn't believe I asked for more hot water for my tea, which resulted in a full set of fresh tea being brought to the table. They told me off, saying this is not a Chinese restaurant. Fish out of water, old man, old habits. Spot the non meat dish on a Friday evening, clockwise from top left: • Besteeya - Moroccan duck pie, butternut, caper & raisin sauce • Spelt, Lentil & Almond Pilaf, with mushrooms, greens & updated nori • Burnt Honey Lamb Featherblade, with goats cheese & bunched baby spinach • Free-range Pork Cutlet 'Kiev' with fresh beans, basil, lemon #ampersandeaterynz #ampersandeatery #orakeibasinvillage #orakei #besteeya #moroccanduckpie #pilaf #yaelsochat #lambfeatherblade #porkcutlet #endofweek #instaeatery (at ampersandeatery)
