De Fontein is located in the heart of Mission Bay, just 8 minutes drive from Aucklandâs CBD, & is the perfect place to escape the hustle & bustle of the city, especially from the sun drenched balcony overlooking the bay. We proudly serve authentic Belgian cuisine complimented by an extensive selection of fine Belgian beers & some of the best wines from NZ & Australia. We recommend you try our signature steaming mussel pots, or our famous mussel platters (our full menu & drinks list can be viewed on the Food & Bar pages).

We ate here last night and it was not in the least bit enjoyable
Service was just okay.
Food was very disappointing. I judge a restaurant by how well they cook a steak and out of 4 steaks ordered medium-rare 4 steaks arrived cooked well-done, although still claiming to be medium-rare they were dry and tough, I have never had to send a steak back before but to their credit they cooked the replacement a little better.
Finally, if a Belgian restaurant is not able to cook a Belgian waffle properly then they really should change the name, it tasted terrible, like burnt vegetable oil and the texture was chewy. So desert was no saving grace.
Mission Bay is a great place to go out for dinner any time of the year but please don’t waste your time eating here.

But the lack of good service and long waiting times are making it less preferable as a dining destination.

Did you eat at this restaurant? Have an opinion to share?






We came for lunch on Thursday 19 August.
We ordered the Lobster Bisque mussel pot, mixed platter grilled mussels, spicy pork ribs, the steak meal and a child’s fish and chips.
The grilled mussel platter was at best “bland” at worst bloody horrible, small bits of chewy, tasteless rubber.
The “spicy” pork ribs tasted of nothing – even with the addition of salt and pepper it was difficult to determine whether or not they had flavor. And believe me, this was ordered by my grand-daughter who loves ribs but doesn’t like things too spicy, so for her to complain that they tasted of nothing…..hmmmm say no more
The mussel pot was very disappointing – the mussels were once again tasteless and unappetizing with no mussel flavor coming thru at all.
For $140 I certainly expected a hell of a lot more than we got. I have had better food at Valentines (now that must be telling you something)
