Degree Gastrobar
204 Quay Street, Auckland, New Zealand

I joined Florian and Sandra for an impromptu farewell lunch as he's leaving tomorrow for Thailand. Initially, we wanted to have an Italian meal but the restaurant was closed so we decided to eat here at the recommendation of Florian who has been here before.

Florian ordered the Pizza Bread (NZD$7.50) intending to share but I didn't feel like eating bread and Sandra don't eat tomatoes so he had to finish the whole thing by himself! I did try the olive tapenade and it's quite fragrant.

I ordered the Warm Chicken Tikka (NZD$18.50) and Florian decided to have the same. Both of us agreed that it's very good as all the ingredients are well-balanced. The salad has feta, sun dried tomato, cashew nuts and a mint yoghurt dressing.

Sandra opted for Jamaican Chicken Curry (NZD$19.50) which came with rice, mango chutney, spiced yoghurt, and naan bread.

Degree is apparently quite a popular restaurant and bar on Auckland's Viaduct Harbour. While the other restaurants here are overpriced due to the wonderful view, this gastrobar serves good food at reasonable prices.

The company for lunch this afternoon was wonderful. I hope Florian will keep his promise to invite me to his wedding next year!
