French Restaurants in New Zealand

1st class dining. One of the best in New Plymouth

Visited 8 Sept for a dual birthday/anniversary celebration having been given a voucher. I am pleased to say that this was a great dining experience and I will be a future paying customer for sure. The service, food and general ambiance was top notch (pleasantly surprised having seen other reviews - clearly they take criticism well and have improved which is what reviews should all be about). The host and waitress were warm and accommodating (I had to request a different table due to a chest injury making the first one a bit tight) and the restaurant itself was modern, yet warm and inviting. Always a good sign when the restaurant is busy - this was near full yet it was not overly noisy - and we had the advantage of coming at 7 when we could see what everyone else was eating! The Tagliatelle entree was superb. Pasta cooked well, mushrooms oozing with flavour - decadence! The Shrimp salad was fresh and delicious, even accounting for the sesame seed crust (which I felt was unnecessary and tasteless - the only low point). Mains were a delight: Pork Belly was melt in the mouth delicious, just as it should be, cutting like butter. The Fish of the Day, which I had grilled, was equally as tasty, cooked to perfection with a delightful sauce. While the portions did not look huge on arrival, they were well constructed with a lot of flavour and I was left more than satisfied. Thanks so much, can't wait to visit you again!

We came across this place by chance and stopped in. The staff are actually french and were delighted that we had a french guest with us. The crepes are divine. We had a reasonably large group and everyone enjoyed their food. Will definitely be going back!

Had the duck at Cafe Versailles - was so yum! Loved the friendly French staff and the atmosphere. All in all, a great experience.

Highly recommend! The food is devine and the prices are great. If you are on a budget but still want to try something fancy then this is the place for you. And don't leave before trying the desserts, yum yum! Room upstairs caters for larger groups too...
