"We went for lunch this afternoon with my family and we had such a good time there. The food is incredible and we all ordered something different. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, which is a ham sandwich which has a white sauce and cheese grated over the top, which is then baked in the oven, accompanied with a green salad with seeds and dressing. The glorious amount of creamy sauce and stringy cheese is so so yummy! I think my meal was like $15 which is very good value considerating how MASSIVE my meal was. I also ordered an iced chocolate with a huge dollop of ice-cream in it. It wasn't hugely sweet which I liked but the ice-cream made it so delectable. The staff are very friendly and seem to want to make us feel very welcomed. Highly recommend for lunch or breakfast. Early bird meals end at 11am but the breakfasts and lunches run till they close. Here are some pictures :3"

"We went there for breakfast as it was the only one opened at the time. The menu offers a lot of dishes cooked French style, which is quite different compared to the ordinary cafes. There are also jams, croissant and other baked goods for sale, both fresh and frozen. Very nice seating as well."

"2019 Friendly service w good food and coffee. 2021 Back for more at a favourite stop and an upgrade from 4 to 5 stars after finding out the pastries are brought in from France. Try the Pain au Chocolat. Exactly as it should be!"

"Great baked products that's for sure. I tried beef bourguignon and the texture and overall taste was great, however, even for European it was way too salty. Anyway, worth trying IMHO"

"Loved that the chef was actually French. The food looked stunning and tasted pretty good. I had the chicken pie, which was beautifully presented and reminded me of France, while my sidekick had the beef, and I tasted that too; it was delicious. The only thing letting this place down was the heat, and the decor looked more NZ than French. I think the large windows being able to open would be better for both airflow and aesthetics! Overall a pretty good experience. There weren't really any gluten-free options."
