Atelier

Get ready to be swept away to the vibrant French Riviera right in the heart of Karangahape Road at the delightful Atelier, pronounced "atuh-lyey."

If you're on a romantic rendezvous, request a cosy table for two in the back, where a playful pink neon sign proudly declares, "Sorry, Mom, I'm on K'Rd." Or opt for a seat near the front and enjoy the lively atmosphere while indulging in mouthwatering dishes. Wherever you sit, prepare to treat those tastebuds big time!

The bar boasts an impressive selection of wines and spirits, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience. But let's talk about the food—prepare to be wowed! Atelier specialises in French-style tapas, served in delightful small portions that will leave you craving more.

From the standout pain de campagne (bread) paired with heavenly butter and a tempting charcuterie plate to the irresistible purple kumara crisps dipped in creamy hazelnut hummus, every bite is a treat for your taste buds. And when it's time for the main course, the wild pork croquettes featuring raclette cheese and black garlic miso will transport you to flavour paradise. Don't miss the NZ Angus beef tartare; it's simply superb!

Saving the best for last, Atelier's desserts are a feast for the eyes and the palate. Prepare to be enchanted by their legendary mille-feuille dessert, a sweet masterpiece that will have you swooning with delight.

Magnifique, as the French would say!
