What travelers say:
Fried squid, the squid is not wrapped with rice or meat, but with cucumbers, carrots, etc., which makes it taste better. Fragrant and crispy squid rings! One person can eat a large plate~

It's always a pleasure to go to Mussels on Monday. The food is great, the prices are very reasonable and you can choose the mussels you want (very good). They also have a large selection of beers. Don't forget to make a reservation. The restaurant is busy most of the time (very busy).
The mussels in this shop are famous in Auckland, so I came here because of their reputation. I ordered cheese mussels, which were really good, with plump and elastic meat. The braised beef was a little tough.
New Zealand's beauty is incomparable. Its original ecology makes us nostalgic. The beautiful scenery and delicious ingredients are the most beautiful enjoyment in life. When we got there, we had to try mussels. I saw that this restaurant had good reviews on the reviews, and it was also close to our hotel, so we chose to go there at noon when there were few people. There were many people on weekdays and at noon. We had a lot of people, so we ordered garlic and cheese mussels, lamb shoulder and steak. The mussels were very fresh and had no fishy smell. I broke through my perception that I didn't like mussels, but I liked its sweet aftertaste. In contrast, I like cheese flavor. The rich cheese mixed with the elastic meat is very satisfying. The steak was grilled well, but it was inferior to the lamb shoulder. In that country where sheep are flocking, lamb is indeed the most delicious. It has no smell, but is full of the breath of sheep itself. It is also grilled just right. The meat is very tender and tender, and it is delicious with the sweet sweet potatoes next to it.
We went there at about 5:30 in the evening. There weren't many people, so you have to wait for a table later. It was the last day of my trip to New Zealand. I was walking on Queen Street. I searched for reviews and found it was close, so I went there. I ordered a seafood platter, which included two oysters, a lot of mussels, salmon, fried squid, and shrimp. I also ordered a dozen oysters and a lamb shoulder. The oysters were especially delicious, 36 New Zealand dollars a dozen, which was cheaper than Queenstown. The food on the platter was also delicious, and the mussels had many flavors. I saw a pot of mussels ordered by a table next to me, and later I learned that this was the specialty of the restaurant. The two girls ate these things until they were full.
This is a very busy restaurant. It was packed with customers at mealtime and you had to wait for a table. Most of them were tourists. The grilled mussel platter and seafood soup are highly recommended. The main dish, lamb shoulder, was very tender and the Bulgarian sausage was a bit salty. The main dishes were large in size and it is recommended to order one for two people. The walls inside the restaurant have turned yellow.
The Occidental is a Belgian restaurant on Queen Street in Auckland. It is very crowded every night. Lamb shoulder is 20 NZD, tender and has lamb flavor but not smelly, rich flavor. The grilled mussel platter has 5 flavors. The Belgian beer tastes very pure.
The seafood in this restaurant is first-rate, the seafood platter is good, the lamb fritters are tasty and look like bread, the mussels and oysters taste pretty good, the environment is great, and it's run by a Belgian owner.
