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.
