French Restaurants in New Zealand

16th October 2012
I have been a fan of Chantellinis since they first opened, and every time I am lucky enough to go back, I am reminded why this is one of the best restaurants around, period. The staff are fantastic, right from greeting you and taking your jacket (which they hand back to you at the end of the night and seem to have remembered exactly which one was yours!!), to sitting in the most gorgeous building, I am sold from that. But then the menu and wine selection, which they seem to change out with the seasons (amazing!), surpasses all restaurants in the area. My favourites are the beef or lamb for the mains, but who can pass up escargot or a French dessert either? I really recommend this restaurant, it is great for if you are celebrating something (they give you a candle and write "Happy Birthday" on your dessert plate in chocolate!), or if you are like me and appreciate fine food and service, this is definitely the choice for you. Great job Chantellinis, can't wait to visit you again soon.
