Devine! Am so pleased i discovered this place, o much so its going to now be a regular visit each time I'm here. Highly recommend the La Forestiere if you're a mushroom lover. The flavours are sensational. I was having trouble deciding what to have and the wonderful server recommended if I'm a mushroom lover to try it.... she was right, I can understand why it's her favourite. Great option for Gluten free dining, including a selection of French sweet treats in the cabinet. Yum.

What a lucky find, wonderful French restaurant tucked away from the crowd. A warm welcome from the owner and his staff even when it was a busy evening (and a busy morning when we returned for breakfast another day). A jolly, warm atmosphere of everyone enjoying the superb food on offer, happily there are gluten free and vegetarian options and warm fresh french bread for cleaning up my plate of every morsel. We'll definitely make a special effort to return on our next trip to Auckland. Thank you to you, your wonderful staff and chefs.

A colleague from work recommended this restaurant. The pumpkin dumplings were tasty, gluten free. The tofu was delicious, soft inside. We also had Pho, bao bun and summer rolls. Delicious food, highly recommended. Fair price, excellent service, clean.

Amazing. My favourite Wellington cafe with a few great gluten free, dairy free options. The husband popped in for two slices of cake for my birthday and came home with this gorgeous wee lemon meringue cake.

We had such a good experience here! Our food was incredible and fresh, and so full of flavour. I’m gluten free and asked if they could make a few adjustments and the waitress wasn’t sure but sent the chef out to speak to us, and he was very accommodating. The mussels were out of this world, and we were disappointed they were sold out of salmon but it comes directly from the ocean in Akaroa and weren’t getting the next fresh delivery til that afternoon, from the morning’s catch. Would come back just for that! Eclectic little place with lots of different types of places to sit, we were very glad we wandered in

Stopped here for lunch, I had their big breakfast equivalent menu and my wife had a gluten free salmon, spinach and potato dish. Both our meals were delicious, lovely seasoning with good herbs use and flavour. I had a latte which was good as well. Service was prompt and friendly, decor was pleasant with large photo prints of Paris on the wall. Some tables were on the pavement but we dined inside.

Is this the best restaurant of the South Island? Quite possibly! The elegant space created by hospitality veterans Hunter and Ko is only matched by the impeccable service and attention to detail of the team. The degustation with paired wines was nothing less than sensational. An homage to the very best local ingredients prepared with flair and pizazz, yet never ostentatiously. Bold, yet disciplined. Playful, but respectful. Thoroughly recommend this one... Worthy of a detour. Despite its modest size and degustation only style, the kitchen perfectly accommodated my spouse's gluten intolerance.

A stunning way to celebrate a friend's birthday. Food and service were amazing, and a coeliac in our group was well catered for with most things on the menu easily adapted. They have a separate gf fryer. We had the small upstairs dining room to ourselves for our group of 13. Every dish at the table was delicious.

Gareth the waiter was absolutely wonderful, he really put us at ease in the environment and was amazing with my coeliac disease. The escargot was great! Thanks so much for a great night chefs and Gareth, you were great and deserve a hefty raise!
