The Occidental

What other Aucklanders are saying about The Occidental.

Customer : Best mussel dish ever! We really loved the creamy wine sauce with mussels.
Spicy shrimp is nicely matched with the crunch bread.
Outdoor sitting at night time is romantic.

Customer : Good food and good beer…

Their mussels pots are delicious. Serve with the yummy French fries that make you can’t stop eating.

The lobster bisque and blue cheese mussels are really gooooooood…

Remember to make reservation before you come…!!

Customer : Went for dinner here with two kids in tow. The waiter we had was excellent. Super friendly and helpful and really engaged with the kids. We had a steak order medium rare and it was really delicious and came as expected. The frites were more-ish and the steamed vegetables were great – broccoli, carrot and peas. My youngest enjoyed the garlic bread. We also got a charcuterie board which was perfect size to share. The tasting rack was decently sized, and although some of the taps were different they subbed similar beer styles and were happy to answer questions too. The hot chocolates were a huge hit.

Customer : Love this bar! Awesome food with perfect songs. It’s the best place to visit on Friday night. However, the white wine’s price is over triple than the countdown. I know this is the survival way for a bar, next time I would like to have some more craft beer 🙂

Customer : It was an evening with office colleagues and loved this Belgian bar.Vintage decor and musical instruments created an era of the 1800’s.

We ordered beerand red wine , fish n chips , burger,prawns,Mac n cheese,pork shnitzel and a kg of mussels.

Loved the ambience and food.Excellent service

See you again

Customer : Food was fabulous! Prawns we’re so flavourful, oysters were divine, mixed grilled mussels were yum. And the Candyfloss Martini was so yum I had two. Well priced with live music.

Customer : We had steamed mussels with lobster bisque sauce and rump steak. Mussels were amazing 5/5. The rump steak was big. We wanted it medium rare, but it was more like medium well-well done. We also loved cherry beer.

Customer : Really great place! The food is so fresh and the customer service is excellent! We would definitely comeback to try more seafood
