The White Lady has been an iconic, family-owned eatery in Auckland since 1948.

The menu ranges from burgers to toasted sandwiches to milkshakes and is a takeaway experience not to be missed. Open into the wee hours of the morning it is a regular pit stop for late night dwellers in the city hunting for that late night food fix.

Try the Old Skool Egg Burger — a hearty stack featuring a beef pattie, fried egg, beetroot, relish, fried onion, iceberg lettuce and tomato. 

Fun fact: The White Lady’s signature beetroot has become a beloved part of its classic burgers, adding a bright, tangy flavour that keeps locals coming back. What began as a simple ingredient has grown into a defining piece of Auckland’s late‑night food culture.
