Here’s two sites on how to save money when eating out in New Zealand 

I’ve been using firsttable.com site for years now. Pretty easy to book, pretty straightforward in their rules, give it a try. 

In summary to use it:

1. Book in their website. Pay $10 per booking.

2. Minimum of 2 Maximum of 4 diners only. 

3. Half price on food, not on drinks.

4. Need to order at least 1 drink. It does not have to be alcohol, can be soda or even tea!

5. Time limit of 2 hours. Depending on what your terms and conditions state. 

6. Time to eat is usually early like 5pm (when the restaurant first opens) hence the name. Or a bit late like 9pm if they have the last table option. 

Here’s my link to get $5 off on your first booking. https://www.firsttable.co.nz/ or type mariakarinat in promo code. 

Lots of restaurants to choose from. After a while some of the restaurants are no longer available, so better book them now at a discounted price. 

A couple of my favorites in Auckland are:

* Harbour Society – CBD (see their regular prices on the link to the menu) 

* Town Tonic – Rosedale 

What I want to try next:

Another site I have used before to save money in eating out is Grabone. I don’t use it as often so don’t have an affiliate link. Not sure if they have one. Important think is to read terms and conditions. You might need to phone to book or click on their link to book. 

We used this to grab a good deal in La Rosa before. Another good place to eat Italian food. But it’s not available anymore because it was too good!
