Teddy's - Wynyard Quarter New Zealand

Best Apple pie I've ever had. Pastry was so nice and crispy, i really don't like apple cinnamon but this one was good, cinnamon flavour not too strong. My daughter likes the pasta, she finished the whole plate. One thing bothered me is there's so much flies, even though the dishes and environment are nice, but I can only give 4 stars. Maybe needs some pest control.

I came here for a ladies bottomless brunch on Saturday, it was fantastic! We dined in a smaller room up the stairs which was lovely and light. Service was friendly and efficient even for our large group of 14 it was not a problem.Highly recommend the pork belly!

Teddy's left us an unforgettable dinning experience. I would like to comment so far the best from First table offer. <br/ <br/ An upgraded 2.0 version of the previous Moochocho, Teddy's has transformed this beautiful quaint villa to a homey, cozy while modern, clean and bistro like place. It feels like walking into best friends' house, sitting back relaxed at their lounge with proper music ambience background.<br/ <br/ Wooden, marble, couch, rustic setting with delicately flowers decor, open kitchen, bar with a view. yes, that's all you need.<br/ <br/ Starter recommended: Cure Spanish markerel, baby beetroot, chicory, buttermilk curd, salted cucumber. stunning on the plate, into your vision and every ingredient compliment each other. fresh, vivid, like a symphony.<br/ Chargrilled prawn, cos, cherry tomatoes and smoked golden beetroot is a divine. You just want to tuck in, and never want to stop eating. The prawn are from Australia, fresh and juicy with a hint of smoky flavour, the golden beetroot puree holds all the flavour together and bring it to a next level. Amazing.<br/ <br/ Main recommended: 250 Gram sirloin with Cafe de Paris, shoestring fries. Sirloin is slightly thicker than expected, medium rare cooked, the cafe de Paris sauce is so delicately treated, creamy, smooth with a herb touch. Shoestring fries with sea salt, crunchy, full of texture. yes, say no more just enjoy it non-stop.<br/ <br/ Pan-seared snapper, saffron risotto, fregola, cavolo nero is another beautiful dish. Full of inviting colors on the plate, snapper cooked properly, risotto with saffron and fresh pea is such a delight pairing the fish. Classic and detailed. Then we added brussel sprouts with hazelnuts beurre noisette to fish the main. <br/ <br/ Really enjoyed the service talk with manager, she came over and talked to us like a family. Even though we were a bit full, still left some space for dessert. So this lemon olive oil cake, with candid ginger and Chantilly came to the table with another beautiful surprise. cake cut perfectly in shape, Chantilly cream was formed with perfect qunelle shape, light, fluffy and pleasant to finish this dinner. <br/ <br/ Some nights in our life are definitely a highlight for memory and Teddy's did create this pleasure to memorise. Well, you have to try it out.

I was a bit sad when Moo Chow closed and thought I’d go check out its successor. Not disappointed. We shared some lamb ribs which were delicious. My pork belly was absolutely massive and delicious but I couldn’t finish it. The others had the steak which was also reportedly great (significant as she never gets steak when out because she always cooks it better at home), and my partner had the market fish which I think was the winner of the day. We were far too full for dessert! A lovely restaurant worthy of its predecessor, but very different!

A friend and I booked an early dinner through first table as we have been wanting to try Teddy's for awhile.We shared the panzeanella salad start, which was a very generous serving! For mains we shared the snapper and the pork which were equally as good. The high light of the night however was the deep fried apple pie- a must try at Teddy's! I would certainly come back again and cannot wait to try the bottomless brunch one weekend!
