Le Garde-manger Auckland

Super delicious, the service is warm. Highly recommend!

A French restaurant where you hear tables around you speaking in French. Cozy quaint decor, a very homey vibe. A classic French Bistro menu a great range of crepes. Love the escargots in garlic butter. The Cheese on the French Onion Soup has set, so was a bit hard chewy. The Crepe Calva was showy with the flambé. Overall the meal was very satisfying.

I have given the restaurant a 4 today which would have been a 5 if only they had remembered to give us the window table I had asked for (when I booked a few days ago).  I took the precaution of booking because we were an elderly group (me at 79 the youngest) and the oldest was a man fast approaching 100!   I have to say that the food was superb, the service also good and it was a pity that the experience was spoiled by two of the worst behaved children I have ever encountered in a restaurant.  The mother had to be asked twice (once by the near 100 year old and once by me) to control her children.  Unfortunately the manager did not intervene at all and although it was a difficult situation I felt he should have done so.  The father told us his children's conduct was `none of our business' which was surprising under the circumstances.  However, once they left the ambiance returned to normal and as I previously said, the food was superb.  We will definitely return hopefully with a table better suited for the hard of hearing and without the difficult children.

Incredible value for money. French toast, bacon and eggs, coffee and crepes for 2 people totalled $48! The food is to die for, the toast is soft and fluffy, the coffee is made perfectly and the atmosphere and decor is fitting and on point. So far, our favourite French cafe in Auckland.

This place is great! Seems like authentic homy food. Tried the beef bourguignon and thought the flavors were delicious! I just didn’t like the texture of the beef cheeks it was very gelatinous.
