You may need to Google many of the menu items (which has considerably expanded my food vocabulary), but the food is awesome and the staff super-friendly (& on hand to translate the menu into English).
AdrianaAugust 19, 2018Great place! We ordered the chorizo eggs and the potato & leek rosti with fish; both excellent
Best brunch spot in the city. Seasonal produce. Free range eggs etc.. Much of the market greens they grow themselves. And, they have almond milk- Lenny LesserJanuary 2, 2015one of the best Pastas I've ever had. If you want sit down dessert at Milse, tell them when you start dinner and they will put your name down for dessert.
Alex ButenkoJanuary 3, 2017Fantastic service and a beautiful setting. Beef Brisket Tortellini was my personal favourite! 👌🏻

Jacob BriarsJanuary 3, 2015Slick Britomart cafe, good coffee. For breakfast try the delicious granola, bet on the excellent pastas for lunch
- If you want something less exotic, they will happily do eggs any way with sides like toast, bacon and mushrooms.
Andrew CozensFebruary 23, 2013Great service. Recommend the mushrooms with polenta and poached egg. Lovely decor too
Love their fish of day, beet root lasagnotti & lamb shoulder.....finish w gelato on a stick!
Mohamed Al SadoonOctober 14, 2013Some of the best pastas I've ever had....and I've had a lot of pastas.
Adam MaddoxJanuary 25, 2014Great food, service and space. Already thinking about another meal at Ortolana.
- Olga D.January 19, 2019Food and wine list are strengthens. But deserts are not good, cherry baba is terrible
Sergio GalzeranoFebruary 24, 2018Good but not great for what you pay for. Quality and presentation of food was good, service could be better.
Robert DurrantMarch 27, 2013Worst menu to try and understand. Make sure they explain each dish cause they leave bits out and they ain't what the seem. Nice tho.

"If you want a great coffee or to try an NZ craft beer, head to No 1 Queen St across the road. It's a small glass building, great staff and very close to the ferries if you have time before you depart"

"Seafood options are amazing. Have your fish dish and have a seat at outside if you are lucky and enjoy a lazy afternoon meal at weekend."
