Decent French dining restaurant in a sweet little town. Service was exceptional. I would think their wines and ambience were truly the selling point of the restaurant and food is acceptable, from a tourist’s POV (and also one who comes from a metropolitan city). We had their pork belly, lamb and ducks for mains. The pork belly was nice, but something we can consume almost everyday easily in Asia so there’s nothing too mind-blowing about it. The plating on the lamb dish was confusing with too many things happening at the same time but flavours were interesting. However, as one reviewer mentioned, the sausage was just too overpowering for the dish and I felt that everything together made up for the lack of lamb pieces that actually were on the dish. My partner enjoyed her Brussels sprouts on the duck main. Bistro Gentil is one of those places that you wouldn’t mind checking out if you are in Wanaka but I don’t think it’s particularly memorable.

If I could give this place 6 stars I would! Best meal I had during my visit to New Zealand. Everything was truly exceptional: the food, the wine, the cocktails, the views, the staff. You certainly pay for quality, but even then I wouldn’t say it was extortionately expensive.Highly recommend the steak which was beautifully prepared.

What a place!.... everything about this place was amazing, could not fault it. Service was outstanding, with no waiting to be served drinks, and waitresses were always ready and available. The food was delicious and plentiful.The bathrooms had single-rolled hand towels to wipe hands with.And to top it off the view of the lake.Could not fault this place at all.

Fantastic dining experience here- excellent service and lovely ambiance in this unassuming French inspired eatery. The blankets and sheepskins on the chairs made the semi-upscale menu offerings feel approachable and created a cozy vibe. I LOVED the recommendations made by our warm server- I got the fillet tartare with miso mayo, as well as the grilled swordfish- wish was truly exceptional.

Stunning venue, beautiful food, generous portions and excellent service. Beef Tartare was wonderful. If we're ever down here again we'll be back; well worth the trip. Thank you!

I booked online and was called to be told that they were down three kitchen staff due to Covid and would we be ok coming later so we wouldn't have to wait. We were just happy that they were open and could take us. Service was attentive but understated, wine options were excellent, food presentation was tantalizing and flavours were divine. It was an all round wonderful evening. Great for a couple but equally good for a crowd.

Most romantic dinner experience in Wanaka for me so far. Relaxing ambience with an amazing view. Make a reservation for the earliest dinner time slot to get the best table like ours with an unblocked sunset and mountain view.Food and wine is lovely and subtle. Recommend to have 1-2 glasses of wine with your meal if wine pairing is too much alcohol for you. Good service. An LGBT-friendly French restaurant with 1 Hat rating by Cusine Good Food Awards. Kinda like a 1 Michelin star in NZ restaurant world.Will give 5-star if the food has more tasting profiles. Let's just say I have high expectations.

This is a fantastic experience for us. We have been living NZ five years and this is the best fine dining we experienced in several ones. The color, the flavors, the food quality, no anything we need to judge, just enjoy is the only thing we need to do. Can’t pass this place in Wanaka

We were absolutely blown away by the food here. Just a few minutes from Wanaka, this restaurant feels like it’s tucked away from everything. The ambience is wonderful as is the service and the food. The venison with crispy kale, Parisienne gnocchi, marrow and smoked compote is the best dish we had on our entire trip through New Zealand.
