Bisou Cafe — Restaurant in Waiheke

I have visited Bisou cafe several times and have consistently enjoyed their fantastic savory buckwheat crêpes. The crêpes are generously filled and have a delicious salty flavor.

However, I would not recommend Bisou for large groups due to the small tables. Even after pushing two mini tables together, it was still quite a struggle trying to fit everything on.

The carrot cake was nice, although it was a bit dry and overly sweet. It would have been great to have some walnuts and raisins for added texture, and serving it with yogurt could have provided some moisture.

On the positive side, the service was prompt, and we were able to walk in without a booking. Additionally, there is ample parking available.

Overall, is Bisou is a great option for...

We arrived at 7h55 with our 2 little dogs and we saw the "owner" (I guess) setting up the terrace. We said good morning and instantly he said "we are actually not open yet. I asked him if they open at 8AM and he said yes. I replied "Do you mind if we sit on the terrace waiting for 5min" and he said"I would rather not because other people could believe it's already open, you can just walk for 5 min" all in a rude and unfriendly manner. We walked out. This is unbelievable. To the Owner, if you do not want to do business in hospitality, sell your business and let people with the love for their job do it. You are destroying the Waiheke friendly vibe, and the Bisou cafe which was a lovely and delicious place before you took over. Avoid this...

What a special place Bisou is.

The staff are always lovely and friendly, and their food is exquisite.

I know good food, & I have been lucky enough to have had crèpes in quite a few countries around the world, including France & Corsica.

The one I had at Bisou a couple of days ago was literally the best, most delicious ev-er!

Simple, but it had incredible flavour & texture, a savoury gallette with courgette, feta cheese & fresh herbs-omg so good!

Oh, & REALLY great coffee!

Highly...
