Ellerslie Eats
Ellerslie Village punches well above its weight when it comes to food. For a village this size, the range is remarkable - from Michelin-pedigree Italian pasta to authentic Thai from a chef who's been cooking since she was nine, Japanese izakaya dining with a karaoke room out the back, award-winning pies, specialty coffee roasted on-site, and some of the best casual pub dining in Auckland.
This is a proper food destination - not a food court, not a chain strip. The people behind these restaurants and cafes have built something real here, and Aucklanders who know it keep coming back.
