Picador Steak Charcoal - Whangaparaoa

We visited this restaurant for the first time on a Sunday night to try their special roast. The ambiance was pleasant, with background music at a perfect volume for conversation. Although there was a long wait for our food (around an hour), we understood that it was busy and we were the last table of the night. The bread starter was delicious and the main course was lovely, although the vegetables could have been cooked a little longer. The meal was great value and we plan to return. We also went back for steak night and enjoyed perfectly cooked steak that arrived quickly. On another visit, I had ribs and my wife had a burger, both of which were really good.

We had a wonderful Sunday roast dinner at Picador in Whangaporoa last night for only $20. It was located across from the new world. The meal was fantastic and I couldn't find anything wrong with the desserts. It was one of the best meals I've had in a long time. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, not too crunchy or too mushy. The pumpkin, kumara, and potatoes were soft and hot. The beef brisket was incredibly tender and just melted in your mouth.

Awesome restaurant with great people, steak are amazing and well cooked. Ask for the waiter named sander he is very kind and experienced. Highly recommended 10/10

Amazing food, excellent service and a cozy atmosphere! You won't be disappointed!

We've been meaning to give Picador a try for a while now, we shouldn't have waited. We went for the $20 rump steak special and wow it was so good! The steak was cooked perfectly, the portions were generous and overall a 5/5 experience. I would definitely recommend Picador to anyone that finds themselves on the coast looking for a good feed! I'll be going back that's for sure.
