The French Cafe

I've been wanting to go to the French Cafe for years and can't believe I have lived in Auckland close to eight years now and never been. What makes it worse is that it has been about a 5 - 10 minute drive from each of the places I've lived.

We finally got there this week. The entire experience was fantastic.
We chose the 9 course chefs tasting menu with each course matched with wine.
Each dish was very different and had numerous components making up the overall effect.
I didn't get picture of all courses and those I did get were not fabulous due to the low light...and trying to be discrete!

The evening was one to remember and possibly a one off for us. It cost A LOT!

By the end of the night - a whole 3 and a half hours of eating, I was incredibly full. The final dish was too good not to eat though.



Marinated Kingfish

Whitebait Sandwich


Spanner Crab Risotto
Quail B'stilla
Seared Duck Breast (I forgot and ate some before taking the shot)
Roasted French Goat's Cheese


French Chocolate
