We had an amazing, relaxed long lunch here before our flights out of Auckland.
The food was sensational. We tried at least half of the menu. Everything was beautifully plated, each dish had their unique touches and they were all delicious!
You can tell the chef takes great pride in his craft and this is reflected in the plates that came out. Service was friendly, helpful and professional. I would definitely recommend!
Delicious food and fabulous staff. We were delighted to find this hidden gem. The meat was melt in your mouth tender. Lovely warm, quiet atmosphere. Great desserts too. Highly recommend.
Simply beautiful cuisine in a beautiful little setting. My partner is a big fan of the fresh market fish and I always go for the pork fillet with mustard (it is amazing).
Great staff and I always find it easy to get a park nearby.

Le Bistro des Gourmets in Parnell was a wonderful restaurant find for dinner after work. Tucked away in Parnell Village off the main street, I was warmly welcomed and greeted by the a very pleasant maitre’d and sommelier. The staff was fantastic, hospitable, friendly and warm, not to mention highly attentive. The restaurant itself was charming and unassuming with distinct French flair. I was highly impressed and excited to order wine and food.
I ordered a glass of Domaine Ogier Cotes de Rhône which was exquisite to accompany my sparkling water whilst I awaited my entree of Malibu Flambeed Prawns with Tropical Fruit Salsa. It was a captivating experience to watch the sommelier flambé my dish before me as it added to French dining experience. The dish was exceptional, so much depth of flavour with the delicate texture of perfectly cooked prawn flesh with buttery honey tones cut through with exotic pineapple and passionfruit accents of the salsa, it truly was a heavenly experience for my palate!
Following on I ordered a glass of Clos de Cazaux Gigondas to accompany my main, roasted chicken breast with tarragon jus and seasonal vegetables. Once again, the wine was amazing served in a very bulbous wine glass, and this sang beautifully with my dish.
Finally to end, I was looking forward to enjoying some French cheese with another wine that caught my eye so I enjoyed a selection of 4 cheeses with a glass of Domaine Gachot-Monot Bourgogne. It was the most pleasurable wine and cheese experience I’ve had to date!
I simply thoroughly adored my dining experience at Le Bistro des Gourmets for its fantastic French wine and gorgeous cuisine, not to forget the excellent attentive service. I highly recommend this restaurant for a promise of an exceptional dining experience, consummately delivered. I shall return very soon!
Good, affordable food with excellent service. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Amazing service and food! The menu changes with the seasons and everything is sourced locally. Their terrines, bread, dips are all made by the chef and it is seriously delicious! I highly recommend this place and personally cannot wait to be back there!
Food , atmosphere, environment, service are excellent. Especially good for celebration.
Delicious and beautiful food, creme brûlée was a good way to end the night. They change the menu according to season so hill get fresh stuff always. Will definitely come back again, thank you for such good food.
What a wonderful restaurant and dining experience. How lucky Auckland is to have such a talented chef in the local Parnell area. Each dish is crafted to visually delight and each dish delivered a unique and delightful experience. The serving staff explained what it was they were serving, clearly and accurately and then professionally disappeared. Ive eaten at very good restaurants around the world. I haven't eaten better more interesting food and flavours anywhere. The wine list was also excellent with excellent choices by the glass. So was the service, exceptional. There are many restaurants that deliver very good to excellent dining experiences. Le bistro des Gourmets, does exceptional with a plus. I can't wait to dine at a Michelin Star restaurant so I can understand what must be a beyond the exceptional experience. I can't wait to go back again. Has the wow factor. I loved it.
Went for dinner with a work group... set menu and wines to match, phenomenal experience. Goats Cheese Brulee was the highlight along with the amazing French passion from our host. Please go, you won't be disappointed.
We had the same experience as other diners. We booked a table because my sister had such a great meal, and it was the same for us. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. The menu is quite small, but I’m sure that is what allows the chef to produce such consistently fine flavours.
