M. M.

Donut pillows are something else. Worth the cost of the ferry from Auckland. Super nice wine list too.

H. M.

We regularly dine here and love bringing the kids to hang out in the back vege garden with toys. It's beautiful and kids love it! The staff are always happy and friendly. We also had NYE 4 couse dinner and the food was divine! Keep it up guys! We love this local gem!!

J.

It looked very busy when we arrived with no spare tables visible but they have a back garden with more space. Food came out fast and was very tasty. Great service. We were on ebikes and there is plenty of space to park bikes.

A. S.

Came here on a day trip and the food here is so worth the stop. Great service/friendly people, fairly priced meals, fresh-ish ingredients and deliciously made. Had a deliciously aromatic Tuna ceviche with light and crispy fish & chips with drinks on the side-planned a light meal since we were biking around Waiheke, and it was perfect.

C. M.

8 of us ate at Arcadia. The service was friendly and helpful. The puy lentils with roasted beetroot and goats cheese was superb. Highly recommended.

U. B.

Arcadia, Best ever experience on restaurant near beaches. Staff is very friendly, food preparation is nice. Since it can be crowded on weekend, you should always call up and reserve your table to avoid any disappointment. Would highly recommend everyone to visit this restaurant.

K. H.

Great coffee, delicious food. Fabulous atmosphere.

M. A.

Fantastic, delicious, relaxing, casual ... just a few words to describe Arcadia. If you want a delicious meal at affordable prices, you can't go past this establishment. The bonus is that it has the beachy feel with inside and outside dinning and the staff are both friendly & professional. I hope that this restaurant is supported by the locals as we've lucky to have such a treasure.

M.

A bit dusty on service. I concede that business have done it tough due to Covid, but over efficient serverce resulted in poor food. They were, however, very sorry and did their best to problem solve and manage the situation. They seemed super focused and keen to improve instantly. Classy responses from average food output.

K. T.

Feel lucky to have this place so easily accessible to my home:) Staff are super friendly and helpful, the back patio area is cozy, and the food is great! Breakfast, lunch or dinner, you can't go wrong! My favorite is the potato rosti - can't get enough of it!

D. K.

What a great place to visit. Breakfast food was very well presented, quock to be served and tasted great. Dinner was even better....portion sizes generous, food cooked to perfection and again, served in good time, even though they were busy. Well woth a visit. We will be back

S. K.

Calm and serene beach ⛱️ on Waiheke.

A.

Location: very convenient and close to the beach. Parking: off street parking available Staff: very friendly and considerate to customers needs. Quick on their toes Service: good pace let's you enjoy the company and time at the restaurant. Seating: lot of options from table for 2 to table of 24. Indoor and outdoor seating available on request. Reservations: appreciated and required to avoid waiting time Food quality: fresh and tasty. Made as per customers requirements. All menu items are tasty too. Good options for vegetarians. Value for money: a bit pricey but is good place to hangout with mates and family. Toilet facility available at the venue. Overall experienc: Good food, quick service...

M. D.

Kia Ora everyone. I spent 25 years working in hospitality world wide. From fine dinning, film catering and large cafes. As a waiter, manager, chef and owner. We visited Arcadia Restaurant twice over w 2 nights, in a row, why, because it was a journey of intense yet subtle flavors. We had a total of 7 dishes between my wife and I. I tried the vegetarian options whilst my wife tried the seafood. The whole experience was in my opinion, flawless. Personally for me the highlight was the ability to use smoke in the artichokes and beets to extract a sense of enjoyment and happiness from my experience was humbling and beautiful. My wife said her dishes was so so good. During her main of John Dorry she was mumbling...OMG this is incredible I/we have dined in many many environments, from London to Israel to L.A to Copenhagen and this experience will stay w me/her/us for a very long time. From FOH to BOH, everyone who took the time, energy and passion to deliver this memorable dinning experience we thank you Kia kaha

R. F.

Could not fault the service and warm atmosphere at Arcadia, although there was a mix up with my meal the customer service we experienced far outweighted the mistake. Would definitely come again.

P. M.

Great local cafe. Usual breakfast options, done well. Good coffee and alcoholic options available. Friendly service. Highly recommended

H.

It’s a really nice spot by the beach and the staff are all sweet but they wouldn’t fill up my water bottle which I do to save on asking for a glass of tap water, I find this weird as I thought it was a requirement for all establishments to provide filtered water ..

A. M.

The juice had a lot of ginger which I dislike. But I feel if you like the burning effect of ginger this is the place for you to get juice. Fish and chips was fair. * juice and fish and chips delicious and worth every cent. Great service.

J. S.

Great atmosphere, perfectly located just across the road from palm beach. Food is great Thai fusion. The location is perfect for a cold beer and snacks after a sunny day at the beach

J. W.

Fantastically relaxed lunchtime venue. Food was tasty and wine chilled. Will plan to return.

D. W. I.

Enjoyed one of the best fish dishes we've ever eaten on the island last night and the service was excellent. Thank you for a fabulous evening - we are still salivating.

M. B.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices for Waiheke. Friendly and efficient staff.

S. T.

Called in for breakfast, great service and tasty food. Dogs allowed and not an issue. Recommend highly

E. E.

Love Arcadia, friendly attentive staff, good coffee. Plant-based options are plus!!! Thankyou for being so kind and patient when we come with our kids.

H.

Really nice place. Good service. Nice food and cold beer. We'd come again.

G. S.

Loved going to this cafe everyday. Very friendly staff and nice food...easily does the best coffee on the island in my view!

Y. B.

Nice food, super friendly staff and beautiful deck! Perfect for Saturday lunch!

B. W.

Food was great and service was exceptional - highly recommended Arcadia.

B. M.

Tasty burgers but the fish of the day is 6 🌟. The staff are fun polite and super friendly.

J. T.

Nice chilled breakfast location, enjoyed the Japanese salad and coffee.

R. R.

Really friendly staff, great location and very nice food. Cocktails are good too.

m. h.

Super friendly staff. Delicious breakfast menu

b. b.

Delicious meal and generous portions. Also good coffee.

L. S.

Love this place. Great food & service & its got a really nice vibe.

C. H.

The best breakfast I've had in a long time. The rosti was delicious and I loved having a bit of salad with breakfast. It was also a treat to have a Bloody Mary with breakfast! I loved the location and the cafe decor was nice. All round, a great experience! 😁

R.

Nice enough, no probs (nothing stands put either). Very close to Palm Beach.

m. h.

The 55 day aged steak was good, but I ordered rare and it came very medium. We had already waited an hour for the meal so I didn't want to send it back. The other meals loomed okay. Nothing special though. The total was about $370 for 6 adults with only one drink each and three kids menu meals. Probably a bit over priced for what we got.

T. K.

Good experience. Genuinely friendly staff and fresh food. Good vegetarian, paleo and keto options.

B. N.

Narissa and I are locals on Waiheke and love Arcadia, you can guarantee a great meal any day of the week (our favorite is ‘Steak Night’ on a Wednesday). Great Food, Friendly Staff - good to see a kiwi, family owned business thrive! Keep up the good work!

S. M.

A great venue for a family birthday. The atmosphere was great and the food was awesome. Called in earlier for a drink in the outdoor area, lovely location.

B. M.

It wasn't bad but it also wasn't that good. Nice enough setting and staff were fine. But the Strangest eggs beni I have ever had, it didn't have any spinach and the hollandaise didn't taste like hollandaise it tasted like butter. I may go back and try other menu items but I won't be back for the eggs beni

P. O.

Tasty menu with good specials. Always some decent seafood options. Friendly staff who enjoy a good chat. And Waiheke's best beach is a 30 second stroll away!

m. w.

Always fabulous food, service and ambience. One of my favorites.

A. I.

So good we came twice... dinner was so good we had to come again for brunch. Both meals were absolutely divine. And the staff were fab too. Great location.

R. C.

Really happy friendly staff. Had boring fish and chips. The fish was so good. Would recommend this place. Is busy which shows it is popular. And they deserve to be. 🤭

j.

Do not miss the lamb rack, it was absolutely delicious.

N. G.

Always friendly staff, good food and nice atmosphere. My small boy loves playing out the back. Just as good for a nice lunch or dinner as for an easy breakfast.

C. R.

A nice café, I feel like sitting down to look at the menu and the standing up to go order is a bit awkward but it's a nice place all the same. The French toast was beautiful. 😍

G. M.

Good food and good coffee. The staff are friendly but not over the top. Nice menu for a fast munch before you hit the nearby Palm Beach. Listen up Auckland food snobs.... Waiheke is not Ponsonby so, dont expect a 50 choice menu. We come by boat to this cafe a few times a year and have never been dissatisfied even when the place is heaving with people. We recommend and we are qualified to do so.

M. M.

My team recently had a meeting in Waiheke and all 23 of us descended on Arcadia for dinner. What an awesome experience - the food was exceptional - everyone is still raving about it. The service was impeccable - no one went with an empty drink for very long. And the staff and owners were very accommodating of a slightly rowdy team celebrating a great year. They even arranged a ride for us at the end of the night so we didn't have to tackle the hill. Thank you so much for a great evening - we will be back again.

A. E.

Wow. What a spot. Great service.(not rushed) Nice wine list and good choice of beers. My favorite was arguably the best Beef burger I've ever had . Ant

f. s.

We are food lovers and this is one of our favorite places on the Island. The ingredients are fresh and the chef always cooks inspired plates including delicious deserts. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, prices are affordable, and service is qualitative. We could simply eat here every day!

M. T.

divine fresh fish and chips..friendly service

R.

Great food, prices and Coffee!!

S. K.

Lovely staff. Yummy food.

H. M.

Lovely homemade rosti thanks. Shame the coffee machine wasn't up and running.

W. E. T.

Dropped in for dinner on Friday night. Just about every table was full within 15 minutes of arriving. Service was prompt and friendly, menu simple but interesting and the food was really good. Didnt break the budget so looking forwards to trying breakfast and lunch before they get super popular over summer.

L. C.

Great people serving great food and great wine in a great place! Waiheke needs a place like this on Palm Beach!

P. D.

Best food we’ve had in NZ. Fell on this place by chance because we couldn’t get a booking anywhere else and were pleasantly surprised! Strongly recommend the white bait as an entrée (we had one each but you could easily share if you’re generous ;), fish and chips and the fish of the day (hapuka) was also delicious. Flavours worked very well together. Restaurant is relatively casual (ie no need to dress up) and service was excellent, attentive without being annoying which is a rare art these days. Prices were reasonable. Ask for a table on the back deck if weather is nice :) Best date night we’ve had during our trip!!!

D.

Popped in just before happy hour finished and snuck in a couple of refreshments (Tokyo dry on tap) before settling in for dinner. Fish 🐠 of the day was awesome, burgers to die for. Great atmosphere and great service.

G. G.

Great vibe and service. Couldn't be closer to the beach.

E. E.

Beef cheeks were amazing. Too big but they supplied a doggy bag for lunch tomorrow. Great staff too.

J. Y.

Great value for money and food is delicious 😋. The stuffs are welcoming and friendly. If you are going to palm beach on Waiheke Island, definitely give Arcadia a try !

J. S.

Really great to have a good restaurant at palm beach. This place will go off over summer. We went for dinner - owners are lovely. Food was on the pricey side ($25-35 mains), but was well worth it. Will definitely come back and would highly recommend.

M. R.

Fantastic food and amazing service. My wife, daughters and I had an enjoyable dining experience and will definitely recommend Arcadia to friends

p. c.

Gorgeous little spot. Most reasonably priced, flash food on the island. Best for small dish and entree orders with beer/ wine. Kids menu is👌🏻Fyi, no Cider on tap.

K. W.

Great little cosy spot with lovely food and friendly staff... Will definitely be back. Thank you

J.

The place in nice enough. I was pretty underwhelmed with the food. I think If you pay $15 for wontons you should get more than 3.

R. T. w.

Wonderful food, best pancakes of my life yum!!!! Exceptional man served us and made me feel so special for my birthday. Loved it.

L. f.

Always good coffee. Always fabulous friendly service. Always good food... But some low carb options would be appreciated! 👌🏼

k.

Went there a few times, the food was nice but there was only one vegan option available (there is literally nowhere else to eat around that area). The service was rather average and not always friendly.

m. c.

Great place fo visit. Helpful and friendly staff. Coffee great, matched with good food.

L. G.

A stones throw from the beach this island gem always has good food, great service and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Very happy to call it “our local”!

T. B.

(Translated) The three stars are given for the service (excellent), the very nice location and the really nice environment. For the food I would honestly give it a star! Minimal portions for the really super high price. I only ate because I was hungry. So I would rate food as "edible". Nothing special ... good thing is they have various gluten-free choices .. to go into detail, I took the chicken sandwich which consisted of a slice of bread with a piece of fried chicken on top (greased and unsalted) with a little salad on top and a little bit of chips. Price $ 23.5! For this price I expect a mister sandwich! (Original) Le tre stelle sono date per il servizio (ottimo) la posizione molto bella e l’ambiente veramente carino. Per il cibo sinceramente darei una stella! Porzioni minime per il prezzo davvero super elevato. Ho mangiato solo perché avevo fame. Quindi valuterei il cibo “mangiabile”. Nulla di speciale... cosa buona è che hanno varie scelte senza glutine.. per entrare nel dettaglio, ho preso il panino di pollo che consisteva in una fetta di pane con sopra un pezzo di pollo fritto (unto e senza sale) con un po’ di insalata messa sopra e un pochino di patatine. Prezzo 23.5 dollari! Per questo prezzo mi aspetto un signor panino!

(Translated) This restaurant is ideally located on Palm Beach, on the way back from the beach for a drink or dessert. It's also a superb restaurant, the place is pleasant, the service provided by staff speaking different languages (it helps a lot when you do not speak English well) and then the best of the best is the gastronomy. The plates are very pretty and it's also excellent, all in a relaxed atmosphere. (Original) Ce restaurant est idéalement situé sur Palm Beach, au retour de plage pour un verre, un dessert. C'est aussi un superbe restaurant, le lieu est agréable, le service assuré par du personnel parlant différantes langues (cela aide beaucoup quand on ne maîtrise pas bien l'anglais) et alors le top du top c'est la gastronomie. Les assiettes sont très jolies et c'est aussi excellent, le tout dans une ambiance détendue.

(Translated) Excellent place in the middle of the island! It comes very well after so many ups and downs. Recommended. (Original) Excelente lugar en el medio de la isla! Viene muy bien luego de tantas subidas y bajadas. Recomendado.
