J.

Great atmosphere and cool German decorations throughout. Pork Schnitzels are the must try here.

I. U.

I really missed the European food, and Der Metz restaurant can provide an excellent food. Definitely will go back.

A. K.

Awesome German restaurant!!!! Definetly visit here again. Delicious food, Friendly staff!!!

S. U.

If you after a good Schnitzel that’s the place, venue has good selection of German beers. Traditional Bavarian atmosphere and Great service!

A. D. P.

Great atmosphere, delicious food and a fantastic place to meet up with friends.

L. B.

Went for our anniversary just recently. Can't say enough nice things, the staff and food were both amazing. I asked for them to put a little note on a napkin for my wife to scrapbook and they had made napkin flowers and left flowers and chocolates on top of writing on the napkins for us. A very memorable experience for us and plan to visit a lot more frequently!

J. M.

Greattt authentic German restaurant. If you want a comfy and home type cooked meal then this is a perfect place to eat! Best selection of German brews and massive proportions of food. Made me feel like i was back experiencing a bit of Germany.

A. G.

The place is okay, but it would be great to see at least one vegan option on the menu. I checked the website before going with a group of friends and thought there was one vegan alternative (there are 3 vegetarian). But it turns out it was a typo on their website. Of course I found out when we were all there, so the only alternative was to eat fries (which were very nice and a large portion to be fair).

J. J.

Oh yes, been wanting to get a proper Euro meal since I moved to Nz, ticket all the boxes. Taste of home! 🍺🍺 It’s in the upper price range, but you’ll get a proper German size portion!

B. K.

Been coming to this place for about 15 years now and they consistently deliver quality every time. The schnitzels are all very good but they also do a pretty great Fred Flintsone style pork hock and goulash. Reservations are recommended because it always is busy.

L. M.

Their food is really good, the pork was juicy and the potato dumplings were flavourful, with the purple cabbage complimenting the dish nicely. The serving sizes are massive, an excellent change from most NZ restaurants where you don't get enough food for a main dish. The schnitzel here are also done very well, and I've been told the beer is also good. (I don't drink alcohol.) Customer service is excellent - the waitress that served us was very friendly and professional, and the wait time to receive our food was really short. Well worth visiting again.

D.

Good flavour, massive portion, good service, great beer.

D.

Went there with the kids. Good atmosphere. Food was good, reasonably priced, however very under seasoned, I suppose nothing a bit of salt can't sort out.

T. S.

I like the wheat beer. The chicken schnitzel was very big, a little bit dry. Will come here again and try different schnitzels and beer.

C. P.

We made a reservation for 15 people, just half an hour prior to arrive. The German lady was great and the food was awesome, as always. Thank you!

N. C.

A German institution at the heart of Kohi. Feels like you've been transported to a miniature beer hall in Munich. Der Metz might be the closest thing to traveling to Germany in the next few years... Smallest size of beer is 500ml! The portion sizes are massive. Highly recommend the chicken schnitzel. Get the double portion and take the extra piece for a meal at home 🙂

Á. M.

We still live it. Amazing restaurant and friendly staff. Fantastic food.

s. p.

MILANESAS COMO EN ARGENTINA - The food is amazing, really good quality and quantity for an excellent price. If you are argentinean and you really miss your grandma’s “milanesas” this is THE place, same taste, the sauces are not spicy, the double portion is for 2 persons and don’t end up super full!! The only thing is that sometimes is very crowded and takes time to have the food, but if you are happy to wait, the food is really worth it!!

L. R.

Well you certainly get value for money. Chef generous 👌 Staff attentive and hospitable. Food plentiful and delicious 😋 Satisfied, happy 😊 customer.

T. P.

I came here with a group of 4 and before she seated us the waitress advised there was a wait time of 45 minutes for food. We appreciated the heads up but I don’t think we even waited 30 minutes which was great. Meals were definitely generous and very tasty. I had the jagerschnitzel for main and apfelstrudel for dessert and both were delicious. This is the place to come especially if you like Schnitzel. Service was friendly and helpful.

T. K.

One of my favorite German restaurants here in Auckland. Their German Radler is a must must must have.🍻🍺 Get that in their huge beer jug and you can just be lost in it forever. They serve bloody huge portions of mains and the price is also affordable for the quantity that is provided. My friends and, I ordered the Paprika Schnitzel, Catch of the day and Medallions of Venison as seen in the pictures below. Man, we were struggling to finish them all in one go but had to do a take away after and eat it at home. The food remained scrumptious. Great environment, music and service. Also loved the ambiance. Will definitely go there again when time permits. 👌👌

M. H.

Wow what an experience! This took me to home cooked food from Austria. We got the Deutsch platter, pork hock and pork schnitzel along with a krombacher beer or two. Very generous portions. Friendly and helpful staff.

M.

Large portions and great ambience. Packed a bit too tight on a busy night and we waited a bit long for our food. The schnitzel looked really good and I enjoyed the Deutsche platte myself as it was a perfect mix to try a lot of what they have to offer.

A. A.

A great atmosphere with amazing quality of food and beers. You get SO much for what you pay for. Make sure you have a massive appetite that will leave you stuffed but somehow, wanting to come back for more. I'm going to be bringing my family and friends here for sure.

K. M.

Friendly staff in a comfortable environment. A good place for catching up with friends or family. Good for small groups or couples. The food was good and generous servings.

J.

Great traditional German style food, excellent hosts and great beer to boot We will be back!

E. v.

Happy vibrant restaurant, generous portions, delicious typical german dishes, friendly and fast service. Schnitzel and eisbein superbly cooked.

A.

Absolutely lovely place to enjoy a very good portion of meal and of course beer, best beer!

N. A. S.

The food is amazing, really good quality and quantity for an excellent price. The only thing is sometimes It is very crowded and takes time to have the food. But if ypu are happy to wait, the food worth it

J.

Great service huge portions and gorgeous food! One of our favorite places..

M. Š.

I had big hopes for this restaurant, to finally have a proper schnitzel. Unfortunately the meat doesn't seem to be seasoned. Portions are really huge, service was great and the waitress was dressed into German outfit, the ambient is pleasant, but like I said - if they could start using some seasoning that would make food tastier, they would get more stars.

A. D.

Great food and great vibes. Customer service was great and friendly. Ordered schnitzel and damn it was massive. Well took the rest home and having pork sandwiches for the next few days. Pork hock is an absolute overkill. It's massive enough to feed two very hungry people or a small family. 5 stars from me. And the german beer was great

B. D.

I love it, it’s very different to anything else you can experience in Auckland. Plus prizes are quite reasonable. The meals are quite big portions, you definitely won’t leave hungry. The German feels are fantastic, from the waitresses to the amazing wall decal!!! It’s a must visit.

B. G.

Awesome food, real German gastronomy. Well priced for huge servings. Come hungry!!!!

H.

Delicious meaty dishes with generous portions. Wash it down with their wide range of beer options. Nicely decorated and good service. Double up on those schnitzels!

m. p.

Very good meat dishes. It'd be nice to see a few seafood options for Pescetarians.

B. C.

I love the massive portions. Always get snitchzel of some description. Not amazing food but enough for lunch the next day and the atmosphere is awesome. Great selection of beers and friendly staff

A. Z.

Delicious food, huge portions, friendly customer service. Definitely coming back again.

M. W.

Wonderful time with the boys the waitresses were very friendly and the beer chaep and the amount of food you get is extraordinary. Rate this place highly.

A. K.

Some dishes are good, some are OK. However the service can be improved. It’s a special culinary experience! It's authentic!

W. B.

OMG. The biggest and best schnitzel ever. The photo doesn't do it justice.That's a litre stein next to it. Great beer too.Highly recommend.

C. T.

Really well setup and funky German spot, food is absolutely unreal. Pays to starve yourself before hand because the meals are just huge and amazing. Take a look at some the dishes around you before ordering big. Huge selection of wine and German beers, staff are all cool, serviced a large group well.

T. T.

You won't go hungry here. Good food, large portions. Great staff and atmosphere.

B.

Came with a fairly large group so we booked beforehand. We were welcomed once we entered and shown to our tables. The waitress was quite helpful when we were ordering drinks. They have 1L vessels of beer, some of which you con't get anywhere else. Once everyone showed up we ordered without much waiting or fuss. Most of us ordered schnitzel, but only a few dared to get two pieces. The schnitzel comes in beef, chicken or pork and they also have other items like the pork hock. Food came around the same time and it was delicious. The schnitzel is quite big and crispy and tasty. Fantastic food, drinks and service.

A. C.

Great food. Love the size and the taste. Tables are a bit too close to each other.

J. M.

Always a great night out, with big German beers and even bigger pieces of pork! Decent dessert options as well. Good service and plenty of parking nearby. Try the pork hock for a real treat!

J. C.

Another fabulous schnitzel-fest at this iconic German eatery. Amazing menu, great service and it feels like home. We can't wait to go back.

T. V.

Very good german kitchen with huge sized meals for fair prices. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitly come back more than once.

G. L.

Great food, good portions, taste like Germany. definitely worth trying

B. E.

Called ahead to book a table and ready on arrival. Dont mind the wallet hit as the service, food, and ambience is great.

M. M.

If you like schnitzel this place is a must. WOW it's the best and really good value.

R. T.

Fab place! Love the giant beef schnitzel and of coarse washed off with two variety German zero alcohol beer. One word: yummy!!!!! Do enjoy like we did!

B.

There is lots of parking in the area all around the Restaurant which makes is easy for access. Make sure that you do a booking in advance. We sat outside and enjoyed the fresh air and scenery. It is a big Restaurant and has quite a lot of seating inside and outside. We had some drinks and I ordered the Wiener Schnitzel and my partner the Pork Knuckle. Because the food is freshly prepared, there is a wait for the food - believe me that it is more than worth it. The meals a very big and definitely value for money. We spent 2 hours there and we took two "doggy bags" home. The overall atmosphere there is great. The staff are dressed in Traditional dress and are very helpful and friendly. I will definitely recommend them to any future customers and they are pet friendly where we were sitting outside. We will definitely be back.

D. M.

Lovely food and beer with massive portions.

M. R.

The pork hock is big enough for 2 to share and at $32 a good deal. Or 2 schnitzel for the same price and you are full. The beer selection is good and well priced. German beers have nice flavour. The strudel to finish is also class and reminds me of my time in Germany and Austria. Friendly staff and a nice location.

S. M.

Good food & lovely location. Ordered pork belly, it was a bit salty not sure why- minus a star. Another star is missing - I think the place could have a wider range of beer. NB: Deutsche Platte feeds two healthy hungry humans

C.

The food is amazing and huge portions.

D.

Always wanted to try this place so here I am on Thursday 24 November sipping on a nice cold German Schőfferhofer Hefeweizen ($11.00 for 500ml) - German Weizmann Bier (wheat beer) - very nice too. Heard the hock is good here but is huge so am going to try the pork sausages (Nűrnberger) ($18 entrée size) comes with mash potatoes & sauerkraut. Always looks busy when I have passed with a real Geman feel. Clean & tidy. They did want to charge me the main price on leaving, but I had only ordered the entrée.

C. W.

I had the crumbled camembert as an entree I recommend going there just for that and I chose the schnitzel with mashed potatoe as the main. The best schnitzel I've ever had. The friend I went with had the pork hock. If you are a lover of meat you won't be disappointed with the portions here. They have a great selection of German beers I went with the No 5 and I can now say I have a new favourite German beer. I can't recommend it more highly. I'll definitely be going back. The service was top notch too. If you are looking for something different with great food and service you won't be desappointed. Chris

S. V.

Massive portion sizes, good selection of German beers. A fun neighbourhood restaurant.

L. R.

Wide array of classic German dishes and beers. Also starters, wine and dessert though I didn't try any of them. Generous servings, tasty food. German & Austrian staff, so knowledgeable about the various different dishes and beers. The restaurant is quite small with tables fairly close together. There are also tables outside in front of the restaurant. The night I went (7:30pm on a Thursday), the inside tables were all in use, so would be worth booking.

G.

Great schnitzels !!! Good price

M.

Amazing! Thank you so much for an amazing night. The food was out of this world and the service was perfect. I recommend going here.

T. W.

Amazing sized portions of Snitzel!!!! Massive! And the Desserts too!!! We all took home containers of left over Snitzel - 3 lrg peices, only could eat ½ of one peice!! Delicious.

J. H.

Great food and atmosphere. Service can be a bit slow when they get busy. We were only two people at a table and the waitress ended up forgetting about us. Still good value for money though.

C. M.

Loved my wheat beer, the big ones

K.

Food is great. Portions are great. Beer is great 🥳

A.

If you love ridiculously size portions and great German beers this is the place for you!

K.

Fantastic food, great value for money and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely will be back

A. L.

Good food. Good beer selection. But we waited a bit too much for our food.

G. O.

Excellent value. Meals were huge. Each diner in the group took a doggy bag. We really enjoyed the night. Restraunt was full on a Wednesday night! The double schnitzel will literally feed 2!

L.

Nice big portion. Taste like in Europe wonderful nice fit out .Kind stuff.

D. A.

Schnitzel as it should be. Pork hock is divine. Crackling all over nom nom! Big meals good value. Didn't really notice the slightly longer wait for food (which they do tell you about) in the great atmosphere.

M. N.

Massive servings! Great German beer selection. Would have enjoyed it more if known the portions were large and ordered less!

J. E.

Love the schnitzel, cooked perfectly and huge portions. Beer is great, good range of German beer and the likes. Service was great too. Been a few times and never been disappointed

T.

Family friendly restaurant. Great food. Value for money. Friendly staff. Highly recommend

S. M.

Great central European food, even though it's a German restaurant, you will find dishes that will remind you about Polish, Czech and Austrian cuisine. Large and hearty portions, be prepared to take some food home. Great German beer too! Reasonable prices.

A. M.

Great beer list in a casual setting with some outdoor seating available. I ordered the spaetzle with sausage which was huge but perfect for lunch the next day. In fact, all their portions are big! Would definitely return for another German food fix.

A.

Dishes are of a generous portion. Also very delicious . The only reason that they don't get a 5 star is coffees are one of the worst ones.

S.

love it!! best quality, fresh and attention for the client. Really recomend 100% and remember the portion is for share.

B.

Food was good, pork hog was the best. However we waited for almost an hour for the dishes.

A. F.

We love this German restaurant! The portions are huge and good to share. The only issue is the timing. The restaurant may get quite busy and then will take an hour to serve the food. Therefore the food is fresh.

T. W.

Good, big, basic. Fantastic and enormous steins of beer. There is a really good selection of German beer available. It is typical German fare here, simple and planned, ask for salt to make it a bit more exciting. Schnitzel is a specialty, and it’s enormous. Inside the place is cute, full of German memorabilia.

J. S.

Delicious, big portioned traditional German cuisine. The place boasts a fantastic selection of beer and an alluring selection of schnitzel. Family friendly, bright, vibrant and warm and a short walk from the bay, perfect for a relaxing dinner out with friends or an entourage of two.

B. R.

Very nice atmosphere and friendly staff but the food quality has dropped quite a bit in the recent months. Although The food quantity is still good as before but it lost the old days taste.

A.

Yum yum yum, loved this place. Will definitely be coming back again soon to try something else off their menu. The service and serving sizes are fantastic, very very good value for money

p.

Been going here for 4years almost, they never disappoint with a schnitzel (specially 2pieces - which easily feeds two people). But haven’t tried nothing else then all types of schnitzel, pork hock (waw tastyyyy), and grilled mushrooms - not a fan of it but they make it jummy :)

G. V.

Great place for dinner but there is always a crowd and can half a little wait for you meal. Fantastic beer options 👌

H.

Great food. I tried the Chicken Schnitzel, amazing. The atmosphere is marvelous like you are in Munich

S. K.

I have eaten here before and it was good. But this time time the mashed potatoes were lumpy, chips were so over salted even beer couldn't help wash them down. For a dish thats 30~ you will have to pay extra to get any kind of vegetables on the side. The steak and sausages were good. Service was good.

T. F.

Always go there for the pork hock! When it's very creaspy, it's delicious! On busy days you can get long wait though

J. K. W.

Ordered meat loaf came dry and taste was not what I expected. Potato salad was very good. Dessert was fantastic. Apple strudel and creme brulee was yum. Nice atmosphere and friendly attentive staff.

T. P.

Brilliant. I went with my German friend for a deeper experience. Huge helpings, and I got exactly what the menu said I'd receive. The Pork Belly was ideally prepared, the dumplings were delicious and the gravy was rich and tasty. Additionally the staff were friendly, polite and helpful. I'll definitely be back to try the Pork Hock, it looked delicious!

L. S.

Food there is so tasty. Was fabulous. Prices are very good and the menu has a good variety. I Like that the staff are wearing attire which compliments the traditional German theme. Had a great afternoon there.

S.

Always great food, generous portions and friendly staff. If you want great Schnitzel, head to Der Metz in Kohimarama Auckland.

R. L.

We really loved this restaurant. Our German visitors agreed, its BEST German food in Auckland! They felt like they were back in Germany. Friendly staff, awesome beers and great service all round.

L. T.

Great German experience, huge portion sizes, fun decoration. Staff were really nice. We were a party of 11 so the food took a bit longer than I think would be normal.

T.

The food was great! I really liked the Jägerschnitzel! Espicially the beef that is bread crumbed and dipped in mushroom sauce (more like gravy with mushroom)! But a huge issue is that the price is way too expensive. It costs 27 dollars for it. Even though it is offered in a big serving, I feel like the price should be around 20 dollars. The ice cream was like 12 dollars for like 4 scoops. You could easily buy a 2 litre tub of ice cream from the supermarket at a cheaper price. Also the cashier was not the best because she rang our group up to pay. She said I needed to pay 27 dollars, I handed over 30 dollars, and after everyone finished paying, she asked any of us back who paid and need change. I asked for my change and she didn't give the 3 dollars back. I wasn't so happy about it. :(

R. H.

Went for schnitzel and boy did we get served schnitzel! Two huge pieces served with a delicious rich mushroom gravy and mashed potato. Look forward to exploring more of the menu.

D.

Food is ok. Good beers, cool atmosphere with a nice german feel to it. Good place to catch up and have a drink with friends

E. P.

9 of us dined here today for lunch. On a Saturday. There was our table, and 3 other large groups there. The young waitress promptly took orders for drinks and food. She is AMAZING! She was waiting on all 4 of our groups basically on her own, and doing an incredible job at remembering orders, and ensuring all our needs were being met. She was also doing all the drinks. She was obviously under extreme pressure, but she was super friendly and happy to spend the time to wait for those of our table who just couldnt decide what from the menu to order. The food took almost an hour to arrive, but the waitress took the time to apologise to us for the wait, and explained that the largest table of diners (20 pax) were unexpected, and they were down one staff member. We were happy drinking and appreciated the clear and friendly communication. She let us know when the food was 5 minutes away. The meals came... and they were HUGE. There were smiles all around the table, and some slightly panicked faces as people realized 1 schnitzel was probably all they needed, but we'd all ordered 2 each. At the end of the meal - everyone agreed it was delicious. These are big hearty meals, with great German beers and a range of wines, schnapps, and the usual's all available. We're a family with Germans in it. These meals are on par - and in the case of the Schnitzels, larger than any meal we've had in Germany. If you want hearty food and great beer - Go!

J. M.

I felt it was so Good!! Food menu and bar menu superb. Very German feel to it and utterly relaxed atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable too. Definitely a thumbs up from me and I'll return there.

L. W.

We went there late in the evening for apple strudel. Which was nice and a decent serving. Helpful and friendly waitress. Will be back for schnitzel and pork hock, which I know is a nice big serving and a reasonable price as we've been there before.

L. P.

Great atmosphere and amazing food. The food portions are quite big so be prepared to stuff your face. The staff are also very friendly and helpful, dressed in traditional german bar dress. They also have a great selection of german beer to choose from.

E.

Haven't been eating here yet, but walked there sometimes for a beer. And they are pretty different to others places around whit all the german beer and food. The prices are alright and it seems like the size of the food portion are massive!

B. H.

I've tried German restaurants in a few different cities around the world, but Der Metz is without a doubt the best example of German cuisine outside of Germany that I've ever tasted. The staff are lovely and the decor is interesting and varied in it's demonstration of German towns and cities. I had the Jägerschnitzel with two beef servings and Spätzle. It was an amazing serving size for the price and I ended up needing to take some home. Long story short, I'll definitely be coming back here again given the opportunity.

H. M. C.

Excellent food. Superb goulash. Friendly and comfortable. Good value.

R.

Der Metz, decor is that of an insane, lively beer hall in Europe, with flags, buntings, crests, beer steins, cuckoo-clocks; a German-Bavarian restaurant-like ambience, buzzy vibrant vibe. Be hungry when you order – huge servings, generous portions of sauerkraut. We've never managed to finish our dinner there – take-it-away for lunch the next day; leaving room for desserts of heisse liebe, apfelstrudel: sublime.. Good, friendly, welcoming restaurant, sit outside on summer's day/night. Very efficient English-German-speaking pleasant staff, good food, wines & beers, reasonable prices. I have gait/walking challenges (stroke), all sightseeing has to be well-researched and not overly taxing; I wear a legbrace.

G. L.

Great food and drink, lovely staff, and interesting decor . . . the Gösser beer brought back memories 😋

S. K.

Quintessential German style bar in Kohimarama ..had a couple of steins which were great, and a selection of breads and dips off the menu. Reminds me of German beer halls, cool little experience in NZ

S. S. F.

Quite nice place, the food is very tasty and portions are huge! Good beer, good deserts, super friendly staff that helps you to decide what to try. Surely I'll get back often!

P. C.

As always great food but amateur service to the point of being lazy. For example we ordered some beers.. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes... Only 3 tables full and 3 waitresses. I went to the counter.. One was texting on her phone and the other two talking. I asked if they had a brewery and perhaps they were brewing the beer. Eventually they brought the beer. No apology.. At the end we had a sorry for the wait. Sorry Der Metz.. Simply not good enough. The waitresses were lovely but obviously not trained well. Improvements need to be made if the place is to be taken seriously.

P. V.

A rollercoaster ride. The waitress was not in a great mood and it showed, the food was really awesome but strangely organised. If you order one single peice of schnitzel, you get two/three. If you order a two peice, you get four. We all ordered our food at the same time but it didn't come out together, and some of us were nearly finished while others were receiving the food. They didn't have POS system, so they added up our meals prices on a calculator, then overcharged us. Overall the food was reasonably priced and tasted good, however the service could have been better.

M.

It is a great environment. It feels being in germany. Simple and yet great german food. Beer are the main reason why I go there.

C. F.

Wonderful food, excellent drinks selection and superb service. What more can you ask for! An excellent restaurant, we will be coming back many times in the future.

M.

Very friendly staff, the best schnitzel I've ever eaten, and massive portions for a very good price, Don't eat during the day if you plan on going here, it can get a bit cramped when it's busy but that just adds to the atmosphere, oh and they have 1 litre mugs of beer

O. K.

Excellent service and delicious food. I definitely recommend this place!

M.

Great comfort food with huge meal portions! Very fairly priced. Wide range of beers to choose from. Well done!!!

S. S.

I've lived in Germany and know very well their food, drink and culture. Der Metz brings Germany to Auckland with authentic dishes, very reasonable prices and friendly and efficient service.I've been a regular customer for 8 years and counting.

R. R.

We dined at your restaurant this past weekend and just wanted to let you and your staff know how much we enjoyed the atmosphere and the outstanding meals!! We certainly didn't expect to be able to indulge as we did while visiting Auckland with two families to feed, but we were so blown away when the hearty sized meals arrived at our table, we're still drooling talking about it! We will definitely return for another round and tell everyone DANKE~! :)

A. B.

Snitzel is amazing here and we have relax most of them now as this place a family favorite. Get two and have one for lunch next day! Service always slow and go to counter to order drinks they don't offer more than once. But once ordered food is quick

A.

Awesome food, very generous portions. Took me back to having lunch in Munich 👌

A.

I strongly recommend having lunch or dinner at Der Metz. Love the schnitzel and the sauerkraut!! And they have such a large beer selection! Staff members are very friendly!

D. J.

Monstrous portions, willing to substitute & a fine beer list. We asked to substitute purple cabbage fir fries with our chicken schnitzel. No problem was the reply. The order was huge, taste was better. The fine beer list topped the cake!

J. N.

Meat feast! Huge portions in a neat little bavarian setting. Love the HB beer on tap. Pork knuckle is a must. Great service from the staff. Had many a great night with groups here

R. P.

A warm environment with a great selection of food and drinks. The Currywurst was delicious but drowning in sauce which was my only complaint. This is a nice restaurant and worth a visit if you like German food.

s. m.

Love their Chicken Schnitzel. Beautiful atmosphere and awesome food with lovely service to boot. Definietly recommend!

A. d. S.

Loved the pork knuckle here! So much crackling and so much food! Great selection of beers and the staff are more than happy to recommend one for you if you're a bit overwhelmed with the choices.

M.

Lovely atmosphere, enormous meals, friendly waiters, authentic European experience. Food took a bit too long to arrive and under seasoned. But all in all a good experience

D.

I love this place I am of German decent This place does a great job I wish they were on the north shore We drive 45 minutes to get here But I make the trip because they are that good

F. G.

Much better than anything in Mission Bay. Used to go there regularly, but the food quality went down a notch. also all the tap beer just disappeared. Portions are the so your lunch is sorted for the next day.

P.

Great atmosphere and service. Food is ok so medium rating. Big size portions.

C.

Great selection of German beers and the food is very good as well. Highly recommend a visit.

K.

Great food and wonderful service. Went for sister in laws birthday and took a cake. They sung happy birthday in German when brining it out. The food was delicious and want to go back!

A.

German fare, very tasty and very reasonably priced. Service gives the place an almost family-like feel. A must if you are looking for central European cuisine.

Z.

Delicious food, friendly service, great decoration, authentic German cuisine at Kohimarama, bookings pay as they get really busy, great location across from the beach. Highly recommended to try it out, for homesick Europeans and Kiwis alike

P.

Always awesome food and service - Love the traditional German food and decor.

J.

Great portions, tasty food. Manager/Owners can be a bit grumpy and rude though (But their awesome staff make up for it... But apparently they get told off by the owner if they look like they're being too friendly)

G.

Reasonably priced and huge portions. I support these kind of restaurants who don't take advantage of the whole covid thing (e.g price and quality remains the same). Will come back again

M.

Food is awesome, make sure you're hungry when you go. Great beer range too. Service was a little slow on the night, even though it wasn't packed.

Y.

I ordered the pork hock which I saw people eating as I passed by and was curious. It was okayish - too much so took home some. The parents I came with didn't enjoy it much.

L.

Great place to eat. Dont go if your not hungry. Portions are large. Been twice now and still want to go back for more.

R.

Genuine Bavarian cuisine. We invited German friends of ours up from Wellington and they thoroughly enjoyed the real Bavarian food, atmosphere and service. Highly recommended.

S.

If you like German food, you can't go wrong! Good value for money, big portions and the cheapest imported beer in town. Whats not to love!

R. K.

Why have I just learnt about Der Metz now?! Their portions are huge. You try finishing a plate of 2 large chicken schnitzel and chips by yourself. The Pork Hock is equally amazing. I didn't think I could love Pork Hock as much as I love fried chicken, but damnit it is possible. Vielen Dank Der Metz for such a wonderful eating experience. I am definitely coming back!

J.

Good big feed. We needed a doggy bag for leftovers. Delicious. Recommended for meat-lovers.

P.

Service was good but took a long time for food to come out. Was nice though and authentic. Music was fun :)

A.

Great portions, great tasting food. Actual German waitress + traditional serving uniform. Interesting decor as well.

C.

Great beer, great food, lovely service. Feels like I'm dining at my Grandmother's but with a German twist. Absolutely fantastic.

B. L.

cozy place. Supper good price for this big chunk of meet really. I can only finish 1/4 of it. Don't miss it if you are a meat lover. Btw plenty of packing space in the neighborhood. You don't need to think about that.

S. A. T.

We have been to this restaurant a few times (4) and I never thought of giving my opinion which i can say it a great place to go dinning it’s not on the heavy main traffic, the services is great and the food is fantastic, we never had to wait for our food ( pork Hock) is my favourite.. food is affordable and drinks and byo with only $2..50 corkage.. definitely visiting again very very soon.

Ok - this place serves CRAZY large Schnitzels. For a couple of dollars more you can have TWO !! But you probably won't make it and have to take one home (free doggy bags). Insane selection of beers. But very disturbing 'Bavarian' interior (well, disturbing for a bloke from northern Germany).
