I was abroad for several months already, and I was badly homesick. Every single French person would tell you the same thing: what they really miss when they're abroad is French food and especially French bread and bakery. (also saucisson, and cheese) One day, some friends of mine showed me this very special place. I was skeptical first, because you can't find true real French bakeries abroad easily. Usually you find croissants which don't taste like croissants in France T___T! I'm not saying there'nt good, just saying that they taste different. But when I came closer I could see the little sticker on the door "Artisan boulanger". Startled I yelled :"no way!!! It's a real French bakery!!" A huge smile on my face, I ordered croissants, pies, Florentins comme à la maison! They taste just like the ones I could buy in France. Such a good quality, such a delight! (*o*) I deeply recommend this place for all those who like French food or for those who just want to have a little taste of France.

Cold winter's day July 1 along busy George Street, parking a tad tuff round 530pm, seated in a cozy rear table under a massive heat pump in the cavernous big ol' restaurant/ cafe = we were there for evening meal - a couple and a nine year old. BYO wine policy still in place happily - the feature losing it's popularity with new restauranteurs it seems - we brought a lovely Pinot Noir along for the occasion. Scratch made food on the dinner menu still - slipped a notch from a decade ago - based on yesterday's experience - a 4 rather than previous 5 star - but better than 'ok' duck - missed a couple of our orders - forgot one completely and 'switched' calamari into slightly rubbery prawns - coffees were superb - kiddie meal of chicken n chips was better than ours. Service is spotty - occasional bright stars - but again NOT at the TOP level of year's past - we've been coming here a LONG time. Prices have crept UP whilst quality of 'cheffing' down is a loss of one star on overall rating BUT would return based on the experience, and recommend BARISTA

A starter of DRY BEEF was okay - lacked punch, could have used a good dose of LIME JUICE maybe...and for that kind of price, a healthier serving? Two Mains: 1/ lamb curry coconut base best of evening's offering, chilly sauce served on the side, as one of us likes it spicy t'other mild - was pungent and fresh - good for dipping the KALLAPAM pancake, a regional coconut flour spongy side dish..... and the dish we were MOST looking forward to ...... 2/ DUCK Masala... as we brought along a special Martinborough Pinot Noir to accompany it.... AND earlier reviews sang it's praises.... we wanted THIS one to be special - okay - the sauce was piquant....and presentation on a leaf in a nice round dish was pretty. -accompanied by sweet white onion slices crispy - and a foil to the chili sweet red sticky MORISH sauce. BIG letdown was the limp duck leg cooked many hours earlier tough tiny serving of protein for a big price = instant loss of 2 stars. staff were students at local UNI stuck in country after lockdown, communication okay - lovely genuinely nice people. Unprofessional / unremarkable service at the price point. Decoration is functional fairly tidy. Value for $ 'average' at best' 36 bucks a head x 2 for smallish amounts of decent, but NOT cheffy quality food. 3.2 on the yelp meter. a 'qualified' thumbs up - okay - rating pics to follow in due course

This is my most far-flung ever review for YELP. I'm writing this from Mississippi 5,000 miles away…read morefrom this Carl's Jr in Palmerston N because I received exceptional customer service from the people at Carl's Jr and I wanted to pass this along to other Yelpers. I have a dear friend who I graduated from high school in Mississippi over 50 years ago who lives outside Palmerston North after retiring from a 40 year teaching career there in New Zealand. She lives alone in a rural area and raises goats. I had the bright idea that I would like to send her a gift card to dine out with a typical American hamburger experience and with YELP I was able to find, lo and behold, that the California chain of Carl's Jr which we have in Mississippi as Hardee's, has many locations all over New Zealand. There is also a McDonald's there but who treats a friend to a dinner at McDonald's, unless there are children involved? I will have to admit, though, that all my friends do drink coffee at McDonald's in the States which is very, very good and an exceptional bargain for seniors at $.69. I notice from their website Carl's Jr has some seasonal special burgers that are a little far-fetched for my imagination. Anyone who wants a highly rated American burger would be advised to stick to the Big Carl or Original Thickburger before trying any of the exotic concoctions. It seems that gift cards have not yet reached the level of popularity in NZ that they have in the states so I contacted Carl's Jr to see if they had something equivalent. They have a contact form on their website at http://www.carlsjr.co.nz/contact-us/ or you can just email them directly at: Feedback.CJ@rbd.co.nz Their customer service people informed me they do have gift vouchers in any denomination which are similar to gift cards in function but are not reloadable or as flexible since they have to be used for the full face value at time of purchase. Breaking a $50 gift certificate into 5 x $10 is a good idea for your recipient's flexibility. They do take American credit cards and the credit card company handles all the currency exchange which is a great thing. They charge $5 for postage or courier as they call it. A $50 NZ gift plus postage cost me $34 US so it was a great bargain and had the additional benefit of making me feel like the big spender. For those used to the speed of light in internet transactions, plan ahead. While the people at Carl's Jr. were exceptionally nice and accommodating, the process took about 3 weeks. I will ask my friend to report back on her dining experience and post an update to this review at a later date.
