 Best from Bordeaux |
220 Thorndon Quay Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 499 8334 bordeaux.bakery@xtra.co.nz |
They brought us Bordeaux baking and now the owners of this business are bringing the sweet scents of Bordeaux cooking to the city fringe. From the kitchen of Dominique comes Flamiche aux Poireaux, Gambas Grilles, Entrecote Poelee, Caille Braisee and many other delights. Excellent wine served to accompany the meal and exceptional service. Review © 2007, Wcities |

You can choose a bottle of wine from an extensive local and French wine list. Winner of Cuisine magazine restaurant of the year Award in 2005, its reputation is growing fast.

Il Casino is a top-class restaurant that has been offering outstanding Italian food with impeccable service since 1976.

Private rooms cater for groups from four to 40. Mouth-watering and memorable meals are served day in and day out. For those seeking a simpler meal, the traditional wood-burning oven cooks up authentic Italian pizza. The restaurant is licensed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

241 Tinakori Road Thorndon Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 472 4309 |
Bourgeoise cuisine is brought to you in this small casual restaurant on the city rim in Thorndon. The decor is plain and everything seems to have a touch of pink. The restaurant occupies two rooms so eating spaces are reasonably private. It is great for groups who can take over a space. Food, like Prime Scotch fillet, French Cotelete and Chicken Tenderloin is prepared in a French provincial style. There is a blackboard dessert menu. Not licensed. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Intimate French dining |
10a Murphy Street Thorndon Wellington 6001 New Zealand +64 4 499 5252 http://www.francois.co.nz / |
This intimate restaurant has developed a reputation well beyond its size. Situated in a classic whitewashed colonial building, it attracts a business crowd from the surrounding office blocks, especially for lunch, and local apartment dwellers, too tired to cook, in the evening. The menu offers a small selection of traditional French country dishes. A main, like Confit du Carnard, is popular among patrons. Vegetable or salad side dishes are extra. The wine list, appropriately, has a good choice of French and New Zealand wines to complement the main event. Review © 2007, Wcities |
