Experts' Choice Award Sid at The French Cafe
What the experts agree on
Elegant tasting-menu restaurant delivering refined, seasonal French-inspired cuisine—think roast duck with mandarin purée and snapper ceviche. Despite its café name, it's solidly among Auckland's most consistent fine-dining destinations.
“It's not really a café, and it's not strictly French—that aside, it is one of Auckland's best and most consistent restaurants.”
– Fodor's
Concierge "Diners linger over plates like a ragout of snails, smoked bacon, and shallots on parsley risotto or the signature dish, roast duck with mandarin purée, kumara mash, and bok choy."
Frommer's "Meals are by tasting menu only, and the fare does change seasonally but you might find yourself feasting on snapper ceviche with crab, apple jelly and creme fraiche." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Consistently elegant and refined, this temple to gastronomy is a place to experience and savour." Full review
