So its my turn to select somewhere for lunch. Problem is, I don't know Auckland very well so I am wanting some suggestions in the Lower Queen St area.

Requirements are;

1. Closer the better
2. Cheapish but decent food
3. Serves more than just seafood (so steak, chicken etc.)

Any ideas?!

Waterfront is a good place in the Viaduct for food (chef is a friend/old flatmate). Can't be described as cheap, though.

What's "cheapish" anyway?

The Depot at SkyCity.
Great 'Shared Plates' and Wine on tap.
They don't take bookings though.

Don't know how cheap you consider 'cheapish'.

THanks guys. I was thinking $20 max, $25 at a stretch.

I'll have to try sell it to the guys, and the last few places we've been which have been pretty good were around 16.50 ish for a main.

There are a few places around the Viaduct that will do lunch, but I'm not sure if they fit that budget.

Highly recommend this one. Large portions, good price and great service. Have been there a few times and everyone who I have been with have enjoyed it.

Great food, cheap. Many, MANY well paid people that can afford to eat out in flash restaurants whenever they wish patronise this place for lunch regularly.

Whenever I am in town I go to midcity kebabs for the chicken, giapo for some icecream, and perhaps food alley

I can certainly recommend the Food Ally. Lots of choice, good food and at a decent price.

Thanks for the help! Might be back here in 2 friday's time!
