Soul Bar & Bistro

Went here with a work group, we had the set menu. They have an excellent vegetarian set menu.albeit a bit to oily. All the meat eaters had food envy in the end! Very good service, with attentive wait staff.

All in all a good time!

No idea of the cost

Love this place. Was here at the weekend for another 4 hour Boozy lunch. The staff were very helpful with the wine pairing aswell, letting us try a few before we got a bottle.

Lovely atmosphere and I will be back again very soon for some more amazing food.

Thank you to Megan the young waitress, she was very friendly.

So we had what was possibly our best meal out this year last night at Soul Bar and Bistro. We hadn't been for a good few years, not because we didn't like it (quite the opposite), but because there are so many excellent restaurants to try in our fair city. It is every bit as excellent as it always was. Smoked Trevally Toast was a fantastic start, and the Yellow Fish Tuna Entree was good as well. The roast Hapuku was perfectly cooked, tender, moist, just excellent. The two totally stand out dishes however were the lamb racks with Peanut Rayu, and the Green Goddess Salad (which I am going to ask them to share the recipe wth it was so fantastic!). The service was really good, and it's a beautiful dining area. I can't highly enough recommend it.

Great food and vibe. We came looking for snacks and drinks, came across a very tasty Mac&cheese with great ingredients. Cravings satisfied.

Great place, we had hapuka and the duck with beetroot and both were very good. Interesting wines by the glass without the common price penalty or meagre pours, same as bottle prices. Exceptionally good service, friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Always a special place for dining. Beautiful food great service lovely setting in the viaduct.

Always one of our best place to visit while in Auckland but service wasn't that great this time around.

For the price it was okay, the food was fantastic. Drinks are a bit pricey for what they're worth, especially cocktails. Has that high lifestyle look for an evening meal. Great for a date but a bit pricey for a cocktail session afterwords. One of those places you go for food and leave for desert/drinks.

But I refused to let it ruin my quality of life
Thank you soul
Your staff were amazing
The food as usual 100%

We had Smoked Terekihi on toast as well as fried Squid for entree, then Scampi Risotto for a main. Absolutely delicious. The best though, was the fish on toast.

From start to finish we were served by an amazing waiter (Michael) who made our experience there more amazing. I recommend being waitered by him. Your experiwnce would become more memorable. Despite that the food was amazing too! Highly recommend this venue.

Lively spot on a Friday night. The space is split in two, with music from the bar half gradually growing louder as the night goes on. Pasta was satisfying and not heavy, creamy without being cloying. Good selection of local and international wines.

Have been here a few times, I've always enjoyed the food and ambience. Minus one star as it's price point is slightly too high for what you get in my opinion.

Lovely cuisine. Service was ok with a waiter that talked very fast and with my aging hearing difficult to understand. The sav blanc was nice but came out close to room temperature. Not good enough for the price charged. So we waited about 15 minutes while they chilled the wine! Loved the cheese board and the American chocolate bar was delicious!

Booked a table which I’m thankful I did as I got the nicer side of the patio. The atmosphere is really nice and would be perfect during the summer time. Excellent service. The food was delicious though the shoestring fries could be thinner and the espresso martini was a huge disappointment. When I’m paying $20 for a classic cocktail- I would expect they would decorate it with coffee beans or something, and the foam was very thick (not silky smooth)

This place is still an iconic place for special occasions and I would still recommend it, just not the espresso martini.

Food - amazing
Service - outstanding
Beer - cold.

Cannot fault.

Definitely recommend the Soul Punch lunch, an event they put on every quarter.

One of my favorite places to eat in Auckland.the staff are amazing, super friendly and the vibe is just amazing. Outside decor is always spectacular! Food is next level amazing and drink/wine selection Won't dissapoint. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or local who has never been!

I went here for my birthday with my partner and we loved it so much. The food, the ambience and the service were a 10/10!
We never usually stay at restaurants for too long but we stayed for about 3 hours here. All love x

Food was amazing (little over salted) the main concern was the waiter waiting for us to pay. We asked for the bill and wanted to discuss how to pay in private. But he was breathing down our necks, that prompted us to just pay quicker, when we wanted to either split it between two cards or add cash. His attitude also changed after we declined the tip button. Everyone’s in different Situation and the foods already expensive not everyone can leave a tip after however exceptional the service was prior to the decline (the older gentleman who works there) great service prior though.

Been here several times and it is consistently good. Whether you come for lunch, dinner or 12am. Love that it's open quite late and even when the main menu has stopped the bar menu still has a bit of everything.

Can't go wrong with the calamari which is always on our order.
