What people say
Red Earth Bistro & Wine Bar is a must-visit restaurant for anyone looking for European and modern New Zealand cuisine in the heart of Papakura. The casual family atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal with loved ones. The restaurant has been serving its loyal customers for over 20 years, as evidenced by Ms Jone's recent 99th birthday celebration at the bistro. The team at Red Earth Bistro & Wine Bar wishes everyone a happy and safe Easter break, although they will be closed on Good Friday. However, they will be open on Easter Saturday and Sunday for lunch and dinner, so make sure to book your table in advance! Despite some weather-related challenges earlier this year, the restaurant has continued to provide excellent service and delicious food to its patrons. We highly recommend Red Earth Bistro & Wine Bar for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Auckland.
