Tartines, French Cafe

Lovely French oriented cafe food, great staff. Has recently expanded to include the Deli this is now the main Entrance. Still has some deli, and many French speciality cakes, rolls and roasts.

Every once in while you come across a special place where the food, people and atmosphere are a 5 star experience, that is Tartines. Each time I've gone has been an unforgettable delight. One of the best French restaurants in Wellington!

Got my dose of french goodness there for the first time and I was happy with the experience. Crowded on a sunny day, the glass ceilling in addition with the frenchy atmosphere set the tone. Then, the really creative and mouth-watering delicacies in the cabinet pump up the excitment. Didn't have the opportunity to try meals from the lunch menu, however i confirm: it's a legit french cafe with a local twist. Will come back again!

This was one of the best meals and experiences I have had. I had the poached eggs with ham and hollandaise- one of the best meals I have had (and I am not exaggerating) every bite was delicious. I also had some wonderful sweets from the cabinet, the service was impeccable and unobtrusive. A lovely place on a lovely winter's day!

Tucked away in Eastbourne, Laurent and his team are revisiting some classics french recipes and ingredients to deliver outstanding dishes in quality and presentation (and also Patisserie). We had the escargots (surprising and and best flavour I tasted), salad nicoise and Spanish paella. French wines are great too. We try many places in NZ and it is hard to find a place that are not only good but consistent through time. I also tasted their roast takeaway (available on pre order) which were fantastic. Also note that they are taking pre-order for a traditional french christmas cake called ' La Buche ', pick up on 24th december available for your 25th celebration. I cant wait to taste it!! Long story short, one or the best cafe/restaurant by far for the Wellington Region.
