Auckland is a city of vast and diverse culinary offerings, from high-end haute cuisine to hole-in-the-wall eateries serving up cheap and cheerful eats. For those desiring the latter — good food that doesn’t break the bank — the impressive entries in our Best Cheap and Cheerful category will tantalise your taste buds without emptying your wallet.
Those familiar with Eden Noodles and its queues that regularly spill out the door won’t be surprised that it was voted Best Cheap and Cheerful in Auckland. Other deserving places that keep our wallets and stomachs full include Chop Chop (thanks to its mouth-watering ramen), Umu Pizza (where specially-fermented bases are dressed with delicious toppings), Fatima’s (the go-to for a fuss-free, flavourful bite) and Fishsmith (Herne Bay’s ever-popular fish and chippery).
