Antoine's is a rather mysterious eaterie In New Zealand, as some people used to say. Well, it's not - it is only "special" in itself. We started with the pig's trotter, paua & snail congee with tempura oysters, and the tripe served in a special Antoine's sauce. These were just outstanding - must be amongst the top tier of the fine-dining starters. For the mains, my wife had the ox tongue with prune barley risotto & beef tendon spring roll, while I had the tea-smoked baby chicken (replacing the unavailable quail), black rice with chicken & aubergine sausage. They were very delicious. (However, not a WOW.) We ended our dinner with the chocolate soufflé with cassis jelly & cream. It's splendid. Its 30-minute preparation time was absolutely worth the wait.
N.B. G.S.T. is not included in the menu.

I went to Antoine for my birthday dinner. The food was amazing everything so fresh and tasty very good detailing on good. We was very enjoy our meal and bread also nice too.
The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic. We celebrated my dad's birthday at Antoines and we couldn't fault it. I think it has to be the nicest, or at least one of the best fine dining restaurants I have been to.
