The Pantry

We went for lunch during the week with two kids (6 & 9). We had to park at the Wynyard Carpark and walk a short way there. We booked our table online and it was already buzzing at 11:45am! We were seated near the window and the music wasn’t too loud. Staff were very nice and cabinet food looks amazing. For food, we ordered a waffles with fruit compote, mascarpone, almonds and maple syrup. Very fluffy pancakes. Beautiful display. We also had a big breakfast which had a range of items. Good portion for this price. Kids waffles is half the size of the main size. Eggs on toast is also very good either bacon. We had takeaway coffee which was also very good.

Love how this place feels super luxurious but still has standard cafe pricing (think $24 for a main). Theres a great deal of variety to the menu and cabinet. Think it’s fantastic you can get everything from burgers to pad Thai. We found the kimchi pancake and the pad Thai to be overly sweet but otherwise delicious. Presentation and portions were just right. The stand out dish though was the vanilla cheesecake!! Never had anything with quite the same texture, difficult to describe but it was delicious (also enjoyed the slight saltiness). The service was the perfect balance of friendly and professional. All the front of house staff we talked to were fantastic.
