What's On
Franc’s offers a variety of options for special diets (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and more), so families, friends and colleagues can make choices from the same menu. Everyone brings something to the table, so let’s eat together!
Our menu is created and assembled by our chefs to offer a balance of creative, and nutritious dishes that can be enjoyed daily. We draw on our Americana influence and our love of contemporary street food for inspiration, offering a variety of tastes and textures that change with the seasons. We strive for balance and flavour over extreme dietary practices, and simple whole foods instead of the latest artificial invention.
Goode food is food that you make with your hands, fresh like it was grown in your garden and tasty because you know what you put in it. In under 90min, you’ll learn the way that nana used to make it and even get to take your handiwork home to show off to your mates!
For just $90 per couple, you’ll learn to:
- Hand make fresh pasta from dough which you can take home with you.
- Learn how to make and match sauces that compliment any type of pasta.
- Enjoy a sit-down dinner (pasta of course) and glass of wine for you and your cooking partner.
Classes hold a maximum of 12 people.If you'd like to book for 4 or more people, please call us directly.
Classes will return in 2019
It's been one of Italy's most debated controversies- but no matter which way you slice it, dice it or chop it up it's been our favourite childhood dish since, forever.
That's why every Sunday we're giving you and the family all the spaghetti bolognese you can dream of. So roll up your sleeves and tuck in your napkin for this truly kiwitalian experience!
Only $17.5 per person with complimentary garlic bread for the table.
Auckland’s Original Bottomless Brunch
Here at Lula's we've grown quite fond of that delicious weekend in-betweeny meal – not quite breakfast, not quite lunch - but the perfect excuse to fuel up for the day while still indulging a little (or a lot). Brunch has really become our favourite meal(s) of the day and we've improved it with bottomless daytime-appropriate mocktails, bubbly and cocktails.
$47.5 ~ Every Saturday & Sunday
Please note we are not taking Bottomless Brunch bookings on the 29th & 30th December.
9.30am – 1.30pm, (last seating 1.30-3.30pm).
Bookings essential, maximum group size of 12 people.

At the zoo we believe Sundays are for families, so bring your little ones down and for every main meal purchased we'll make sure a kids menu item is made to match, on us!
You can keep them fed and entertained in our brand new kid's zone, an all in one entertainment area equipped with Netflix, picture books and activities for the whole family. So you can sit back and relax while the Zoo takes care of the rest!
Hear the clink of glasses cheering as you kick off the new year with mates, dates, family or newfound friends.
Celebrating in the city? Enjoy a 2 or 3 course menu at The Lula Inn before Live at Lula's takes you through to the wee hours, or head to the Viaduct's much loved local Degree for their showstopping water-views and DJs guaranteeing a good night out. Go-big-or-go-home as you dabble in a dance with Auckland's one and only The Beat Council from Sweat Shop Brew Kitchen's rooftop deck or treat yourself to the VIP experience overlooking the Sky Tower's vivid fireworks display.
Take it to the tropics at the Royal Oaks The Zookeepers Son luau party, or wander down to your local for a beer (or two) or bite.
At Basalt, we like to think of ourselves as a forward-thinking establishment so we've made some improvements to everyone's favourite weekend activity.
There's nothing better than a great brunch to either kick off or cap the weekend's festivities. Saturday mornings (and often into the afternoons) are prime time for weekend dining warriors to grab a bloody mary, mimosa, or bellini, because, well, if there isn't booze, brunch is just late breakfast.

It seems dollar coins have become under-appreciated, left on bed side tables, neglected in the very bottom of your purse and somewhat useless because of inflation. So we've decided to give you an excuse to dig through the bottom of the couch and look under your car floor mats.
