This place is a hidden gem, because it's actually hidden in an old building in a high end mall. I would prefer if it was set on a nice terrace like on a busy "Parisian" street however, do not fret, you can still get a taste of France there, I promise.
We received a very enjoyable service with multilingual staff! Oui, you can definitely be served in Français there.
The food is delicious!
We had the Roquefort and Leek Tarte... Amazing! That thing packs a lot of flavor. The Canard Confit was a delight, served with duck fat potatoes, a small salad and some baguette. The coffee was on point and arrived promptly. Crème Brulée and Almond Croissants as desserts were so well worth it!
I will surely be back there soon. Merci et à bientôt!
I will post more...

Hopefully they are busy enough considering their location and the very frustrating council-caused parking woes on Thorndon Quay. This place is certainly worth travelling across Wellington to get to!!
A bonus is that well-behaved dogs are allowed in the building and at the cafe - very...
