Bistro Gentil

Led by award winning chef James Stapley, with Mario Rodrigues as Head Chef, we revisit typical flavour combinations using fresh in-season ingredients from our kitchen garden and the best of our region. Cardrona lamb, Mt Cook salmon, Canter valley duck...

Our menus combine the best of New Zealand produce cooked French style - à la française, with must-taste imports. Join us to sample Grand Cru olive oils from Provence and wines rarely offered by the glass. In addition to our carefully picked wine list, we offer 24 wines by the glass and tasters through our Enomatic self-dispensing wine machines.
