What we’re about
This group is for people who are interested in dining out in Auckland, trying different cuisines, enjoying a social atmosphere and making new friends.
We are lucky to have a wide range of dining experiences across Auckland and some fantastic cocktail bars too, so lets go and try them!
As events fill up very quickly, I have changed this group's setting to make sure all members are intersted in coming to dinners at some point, and will be an active member to some extent.
If you have any suggestions for restaurants, know any of those local 'gems' please let me know.
