Lorne Street, where a kaleidoscope of flavours and styles awaits! This vibrant strip is the ideal spot to explore when you're craving global cuisine and unique stores you simply can't find anywhere else in the city. Why do people love it here? Lorne Street packs a punch with culinary delights that hit every tastebud—and vibe! Pop into TAIER to explore the authentic flavours of Szechuan cuisine featuring their signature Suancai & Fish, or satisfy your sweet tooth at Kung Fu Bakery with Chinese pastries and modern treats.
For those who fancy a taste of China, Sue Hsiao Liu Chinese Restaurant will transport you straight to the heart of it from bao buns to dan dan noodles. And if matcha tickles your fancy, TSUJIRI on Lorne is a must-visit for a world-class experience. Feeling brave? Take on the flavours at Eden Noodles Cafe, where Dumplings in Spicy Sauce just won in Iconic Auckland Eats 2025.
If nightlife is calling your name, head over to Tiger's Den for some karaoke or Il Brutto for a bit of Electronic Music, Art, Fashion and Culture.
After something else? You can also find Kinetic Dance Studio who offer a variety of dance classes, Escapade for some escape room fun, Academy Cinemas where you will find indie flicks and cult classics (even better on a Wednesday when tickets are only $5!) and the Auckland Central City Library where you can dive into Auckland's rich history, or simply seek a quiet corner to unwind.
While you're there, don't miss out on Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki and its plethora of cultural masterpieces.
Whether you're seeking to satisfy your palate or your sense of adventure, Lorne Street is your lively launchpad to Auckland's heart.
