The French Café

The French Café Review

It's not really a café, and it's not strictly French—that aside it is simply one of Auckland's best and most consistent restaurants. Simon Wright is an informed chef who creates dishes inspired dishes based on the freshest available ingredients for the ever-changing menu. The menu changes to suit the season but when it's available you can't go wrong with lamb, however it's cooked, or the roast duck. There is also an excellent degustation menu. The service is among the best in Auckland; it's efficient, friendly without attitude. The wine list is comprehensive and includes hard-to-find vintages.
