Carpe Diem - Whangaparaoa

We had dinner at Carpe Diem restaurant on New Years Eve, with a new chef and management it was an all round great dining experience. The staff were fantastic and the meal, my husband had pork belly and myself the chicken, was excellent. For $65.00 on New Years Eve this was brilliant value for money. The party at the venue that followed was well organised and it looked like everyone had a fantastic time including us. We highly recommend and by the way my husband is a UK qualified chef! Well done Carpe Diem we will be back.

Fantastic food 5/5,service awesome 5/5.<br/ Great choice of wines and a real pint of beer. Wonderful live music on saturday nights and Sunday days. More people should be trying this restaurant. If you haven't why not?!<br/ Such a beautiful location, viaduct quality food at gulf harbour prices. Fantastic new owner that goes out of his way to make you welcome as do all the staff! What an amazing transformation!!

What a wonderful time we had! From our first impressions warm greeting to paying the extremely reasonable bill as we left. I'm afraid I'm going to do a rave. The service was outstanding. The food was plentiful and delicious. The staff were ever present, friendly and helpful.<br/ And something most unusual in cafes around town the coffee was excellent!<br/ <br/ We travelled an hour to reach Gulf Harbour and we can't wait to go back. (I haven't said that about a cafe for years! <br/ <br/ Thanks very much team for making our Sunday special.

We've had two meals here in the last 2 weeks.  We hadn't been in for years but had heard great things lately so decided to give it a go.  Honestly the best meal we've had in a while.  It was quite busy but the service was still good.  Will be back again soon for sure.  Well worth a visit.

Awesome menu and food is always 5* great Marina location wether it be lunch or evening meal we have always been blown away by the quality and quantity of our meals.Staff are friendly.Well worth a visit!
