$$$, New Zealand, Hokitika
Fodor's Review:
Pronounced "parriss" in these parts, this spot sets the bar for local cafés, and serves French cuisine with a New Zealand accent. The simple decor is in keeping with owner/chef Pierre Esquilat's straightforward approach: unfussy French cooking with fresh local ingredients. Wild boar oven-baked with mushrooms, onion, and red wine is a delicious example, as is local venison seared and finished with a blueberry and port wine glaze. There's a liquor license, but you're also welcome to BYOB. Reservations are essential in summer.
