the district

wow! thank you so much for the beautiful breakfast. in hamilton today for daughters netball so husband and i decided to look up on zamato to see what was around. met the owner on the way in who was very friendly indeed. mm good vibes so far. ordered pretty quickly. coffee arrived first nice and hot for a foggy morning. quickly followed by the amazing breakfast. i had the salmon benny which wasn't a couple of measly pieces of salmon but a whole piece!! husband has thedistrictfry! awesome! from the perfect poached eggs to the delicious tomato jam! spot on friendly service! will definitely be back next time we are in hamilton! thanks

had brekkie at thedistrictlast week, went for the huevos rancheros tortillas. very very nice. the smokiness of the chipotle with the avo and feta. the finely sliced chorizo was a bit weird but it worked ok. coffee was good and staff were nice.

stopped by on a road trip to the waikato and had a satisfying brunch. we shared thedistrictfry - their version of a big breakfast and the gingerbread french toast.

thedistrictfry was my favourite - all elements were well cooked except for one poached egg which was cooked through and the bacon being a bit overdone. the mushrooms were creamy and the toulouse sausage was really tasty. the rosti was nice and crispy, as was the toast.

the gingerbread french toast was special - gingerbread cake fried with battter and canadian maple syrup soaked into the 'toast'. if you love sweet breakfasts, you will love this. the vanilla mascarpone helped to cut through the sweetness as did the rhubarb compote but overall i found it too sweet. i definitely wouldn't have been able to eat it all by myself.

i also had a smoothie which was refreshing on a hot summer's day. i found a bit of unblended banana in my smoothie but it was mostly well blended.

the decor was industrial as the name gives away. the food came quickly and service was good.

a big spacious cafe with industrial decor and light bulbs. noticed it is beside a city fitness gym. perfect for after gym catch ups:)

we ordered thedistrictfry and the gingerbread french toast. when we were asked how we wanted our eggs in thedistrictfry, my friend misunderstood and nodded her head (because the title had fry it in) i found it hilarious and just said poached eggs please. but the waiter didn't have a sense of humor.

when our meals came, we did the egg test an one of the eggs was not runny! overall, the bacon was dry and hard but the rest such as creamy mushroom, home made hash was delicious.

now to the gingerbread - this dish is definitely for gingerbread lovers. very unique dish as it has a cake texture and is drowned in maple syrup! very rich and glad i shared it with a friend. maybe ask for syrup on the side?

we were served quickly and provided water. good service.

such a great place for breakfast. great music, friendly staff and very tasty food. everything was very organised and despite being very busy they dealt with every customer quickly and were not stressed. food was amazing (i had thedistrictfry) only thing was the waitress kept asking every five minutes if we were ok for drinks when we had water and coffees already - seemed like a habit rather than an observation. otherwise really really good!

thedistrictis a family fave and we were stoked to hear they were open for brunch and lunch on fathers day. the place was fully booked but with plenty of staff on we didnt have to wait long for service or food. i loved the selection of tea and the cookies and cream milkshake was the most amazing thing! the brunch menu had a great selection of things and i chose my favourite breakfast meal, huevos rancheros with chorizo. the dish came out looking a lot different to what im used too; it was like a deconstructed version. the crispy tortilla was so tasty and the perfectly cooked eggs topped it off. everything on the menu was very reasonably priced and all four of the dishes were so nicely presented, it was obvious a lot of care went into this food. we finished off with coffee which was good. i also loved the music selection throughtout our meal. hardly anything to fault but its hard to give a perfect 5!

thedistrictis one of my favourite cafes in the tron – conveniently located, consistently good food, a wide range of teas (yep, i’m a tea drinker at heart, even though i don’t mind the occasional coffee), and great service. their breakfast menu is more extensive than most – they have the standard stuff (e.g. eggs benedict and bagels), as well as more exotic choices such as huevos rancheros or crepes. ditto with the lunch menu – you can choose from a wide variety of stone cooked pizzas, burgers, or standard lunch fare (e.g. fish n chips, pasta).

the owners of this restaurant have carried over their skills and expertise from suburbia to the district. they value their customers and are most hospitable and friendly. their food is creative and delicious, never been disappointed and visit here on an average of once a month. the prices for food and wine are reasonable and fair, unlike many other restaurants we frequent. i look forward to them developing their outdoor area more so that it can be an all year round dining experience. we are looking forward to our first 'night' dining at thedistrict tonight. will keep you posted. cherry.

this place is great. good barristas. food is excellent, love the pork belly pizza. good service to match.

good place to go for a wine after work. has some good beers on tap.

as aucklanders that are well travelled we recently moved down to the waikato and we are really impressed by the quality of the district.

it is up there with opera kitchen, hastings and smiths, napier.

prefer thedistrictto mavis as plenty of parking.
