About NZ Restaurant
Last updated: 1 October 2026
NZ Restaurant is an independent, New Zealand-focused guide to places to eat. We bring together 11,452 restaurants, cafes, pubs and takeaways in 212 cities and towns – from Auckland's busiest dining streets to small-town fish and chip shops – so you can quickly see what is nearby, what is open right now and how to get there.
What you will find here
- A mini-site for every venue – each restaurant has its own page at name.nz-restaurant.com with opening hours, a Google map, directions, a menu guide, photos and visitor reviews.
- Neighbourhood maps – 645 area pages pin every venue on one map so you can compare locations at a glance.
- Cuisine guides – from Indian and Thai to Turkish, Vietnamese and Korean, with a “near me” finder on every page.
- Live status in NZ time – open/closed labels are calculated in New Zealand time on your device.
Independent and free
Listings are free and we do not accept payment for rankings. The site is supported by advertising, which is always clearly separated from editorial content. Read how we list restaurants for details on our sources.
