This is an excellent restaurant, food is amazing and the cook book is a great asset if you love cooking. Service is superb, I would just go to New Zealand to eat at the French Cafe. I highly recommend this one to anybody, I am fuzzy about food and this restaurant is one of my best. more

We visited the French Cafe on our first night in Auckland. The food and the setting were fantatastic and the staff went to great lengths to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Sure it was expensive but well worth it and a big thanks to Rob who reccomended some wineries for us to try during our stay! more
