The French Café

An elegantly simple oasis of excellence

It would be difficult to imagine Auckland dining without The French Café; for good reason does it go on to collect top-notch eatery accolades every year. Husband-and-wife team Creghan Molloy-Wright and Simon Wright keep hitting the mark, serving up modern French food in a calm, sophisticated environment split over three areas – a laid-back bar, conservatory room and courtyard. The invitingly long wine list encompasses a mixture of old and new world. Booking ahead is essential.
