Appetite

Appetite is a restaurant and cocktail bar in central Pukekohe, South Auckland, at Shop 1/8 Massey Avenue. It offers a contemporary dining experience with a fresh, seasonal menu built on bold, comforting flavours and local ingredients, and a globe-trotting sensibility.

The venue caters to a wide range of diners, with vegan, gluten-free and takeaway options and a kids' menu, plus a signature drinks list. It has a covered, heated courtyard for outdoor dining and a dog-friendly area, and hosts live music nights. Appetite trades seven days from late morning until late.

Notably for events, the venue offers private event spaces, making Appetite a practical choice not just for casual group dining and celebrations but also for small functions and gatherings in the Franklin district.
