Such a cool little restaurant. What a find. Loved the Fondue and the kids were buzzing after eating snails! Reasonable priced and great atmosphere!

We had lunch in Bonjour and returned a couple of days later to have dinner. The staff are very attentive, the food was delicious and great value for money. The owners of the restaurant are French and all the staff speak French as well as English. We look forward to returning to New Zealand and the Arrowtown to try more... More

I had a couple of glasses of lovely french Pinot Gris and a Croque Monsieur Poulet followed by a lemon and sugar crepe for dessert. It was a lovley sunny day and we sat outside. The service was friendly and efficient. There are many great places for lunch in Arrowtown this has to be one of the best.

We re-visited this lovely little cafe during the Arrowtown Autumn Festival week, it was very busy , but our food and drinks arrived quickly and we ate outside watching the parade pass just metres from our table. The crepes were perfect and the ham and cheese croissants hot and delicious. A great lunch to round off a perfect Festival visit.

Our group of four stopped in for breakfast a few days after Easter weekend. What a treat. Delicious fresh baguette, croissant and pain au chocolat, and I couldn't resist a sweet lemon crepe. The coffee was good enough to order a second. Relaxed atmosphere and interesting French themed decoration, with lots to look at. The staff were friendly, chatting in... More

we were greeted by friendly French Waitresses. The interior was like a cafe. We waited half an hour for our food which, by no stretch of the imagination, was French. steak (not done rare as requested), small helping of french fries, noisette of frozen garlic butter. c'est tout. my daughter had the fish of the day, (not sure which day)...

Thanks to let us a review in Tripadvisor. Let me explain few things regarding your comment. Our interior is made like a french Bistro, I never saw a Cafe in NZ with Tablecloth by the way. Sorry for the waiting time, but it was a busy evening and we do our food from scratch, so it takes time to come... More
