A taste of Europe! in New Zealand

"There’s a reason why The French Cafe has consistently won awards over the years. We had the tasting menu with matching wines. Highlights included the kingfish ceviche, the roasted quail and the poached pears. The service was exceptional and each dish was full of amazing flavours and textures. My Mum described the meal as a taste explosion and I wasn’t going to argue with her. For the record be prepared to spend some money ($140 each)."

"Before going to watch a movie at the Civic we popped into Elliot Stables to grab a bite to eat. We opted for Torchon, the French creperie and ordered the mushroom crepa and an entrée of ratatouille. The mushroom crepe was rich and creamy and the ratatouille tasted authentic. Service was speedy and our meal arrived in under ten minutes - ideal for someone who wants a quick dinner! Recommended."

"When I was younger my mum made a watery, tomato based sausage casserole nearly every week. I was a fan, and the dish instilled within me a love of sausages. You can imagine how excited I was to come accross Frankies Wurstblade, a shop dedicated to quality sausages. I opted for the sausage meal and chose the special of the week, a hot and spicy griller. The spicy stick of meat was accompanied by a generous portion of fries, cheese, salad and sauerkraut. The plate was huge and everything on it was tasty especially the sausage. The service was helpful and the food was speedily delivered. If you’re a sausage fan, this is the place for you."
