Delicious food and fabulous staff. We were delighted to find this hidden gem. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. Lovely warm, quiet atmosphere. Great desserts too. Highly recommend.

Le Bistro des Gourmets in Parnell was a wonderful restaurant find for dinner after work. Tucked away in Parnell Village off the main street, I was warmly welcomed and greeted by the a very pleasant maitre’d and sommelier. The staff was fantastic, hospitable, friendly and warm, not to mention highly attentive. The restaurant itself was charming and unassuming with distinct French flair. I was highly impressed and excited to order wine and food.I ordered a glass of Domaine Ogier Cotes de Rhône which was exquisite to accompany my sparkling water whilst I awaited my entree of Malibu Flambeed Prawns with Tropical Fruit Salsa. It was a captivating experience to watch the sommelier flambé my dish before me as it added to French dining experience. The dish was exceptional, so much depth of flavour with the delicate texture of perfectly cooked prawn flesh with buttery honey tones cut through with exotic pineapple and passionfruit accents of the salsa, it truly was a heavenly experience for my palate!Following on I ordered a glass of Clos de Cazaux Gigondas to accompany my main, roasted chicken breast with tarragon jus and seasonal vegetables. Once again, the wine was amazing served in a very bulbous wine glass, and this sang beautifully with my dish.Finally to end, I was looking forward to enjoying some French cheese with another wine that caught my eye so I enjoyed a selection of 4 cheeses with a glass of Domaine Gachot-Monot Bourgogne. It was the most pleasurable wine and cheese experience I’ve had to date!I simply thoroughly adored my dining experience at Le Bistro des Gourmets for its fantastic French wine and gorgeous cuisine, not to forget the excellent attentive service. I highly recommend this restaurant for a promise of an exceptional dining experience, consummately delivered. I shall return very soon!

We had an amazing, relaxed long lunch here before our flights out of Auckland.The food was sensational. We tried at least half of the menu. Everything was beautifully plated, each dish had their unique touches and they were all delicious!You can tell the chef takes great pride in his craft and this is reflected in the plates that came out. Service was friendly, helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend!

Simply beautiful cuisine in a beautiful little setting. My partner is a big fan of the fresh market fish and I always go for the pork fillet with mustard (it is amazing).Great staff and I always find it easy to get a park nearby.James ashwinKakapo Business Sales

Traditional homely French style restaurant with interesting menu. Quaint and plain, ideal for the more mature diner. Lovely fish dish. Deliberate French service. Tucked away in the heart of Parnell with fantastic views over to Rangitoto.

I really enjoyed the French cuisine experience provided there. Very professional and friendly service. Small hidden gem in Parnell. All dishes on menu are tempting to try. They are family friendly as having kids menu too.

Good, affordable food with excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Wow. Such a great little French restaurant where the food and service is excellent. And most importantly the French wine is awesome.Can't wait to go back.
