Emporium Eatery - Napier

We had a great time at this restaurant, particularly with the pizza topped with salami and confit cherry tomatoes. The popcorn shrimp had a delightful crunch, and the kimchi mayo paired perfectly with it. The fried bok choy was surprisingly delicious, exceeding our expectations considering it was a bar restaurant. The service was satisfactory—although we waited nearly five minutes to be seated even though the place wasn’t too crowded. The friendly staff added a nice touch to our overall dining experience, making it quite enjoyable.

The food was good and the service was excellent. We chose to dine out on New Year's Eve and ordered lamb and pork meatballs, steak, fries, and a salad. Everything was cooked to perfection, and the service was truly commendable.

Fantastic food, excellent atmosphere, and wonderful staff. The dishes are just as delightful as they sound on the menu. The drink selection is another exciting experience. The only small drawback (if I can be a bit picky) is that while paper napkins are fine for fast food, they don't quite fit the vibe of a high-quality restaurant like this one.

Its a beautiful place and not to mention amazing view of the ocean. Its apparently the oldest cafe of Napier, it definitely does have the decor for it. Has lot of breakfast/ brunch options. People are helpful and accommodate vegetarians. Would definitely recommend it.

Service was very quick and friendly here. The atmosphere was casual and inviting. We had the waffles, pulled pork rolls, with a side of pork sausages, potato hash, and croissant. The waffles were fluffy and delicious, with the right amount of lemon to not be overpowering. The pork rolls were off the charts tasty. The combination of BBQ sauce, hollandaise, and egg yolk was tangy, tasty, and velvetty smooth. The pork sausages were tasty, and reasonably priced. The potato hash was not quite a hash in my opinion, but was still tasty.
