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.

We stopped for lunch at Clareville Bakery / restaurant yesterday on a drive from Napier to…read moreWellington. We are not leaving a 'rave' review. As observed by earlier reviewer, carpark was full, situated next to a garden centre in this rural area. We queued up and waited whilst orders were taken, paid, #'s on a little stand, food beverages arrived a reasonable time later at self secured table. Reasonably tidy, self serve water, not particularly comfortable seating, room is ok accoustically, view to working bakery area, not a luxury / fine dining environment "Loos" were clean / we had a wash up / rest stop / much needed travel break. . As a 6th birthday was being 'celebrated' by the business, a lagniappe sweet chocolate mini profiterole type creation was placed silently in our midst. I wouldn't classify the service as hospitable...more like "functional", a 2.5 rating. Lunch special was a BURGER served with fries, classified as gluten free: we ordered that and a sausage roll, two decaf coffees. A FIRST for me! a 'burger' sans meat patty (or otherwise in the case of a vegetarian or fish burger). Twas in fact a SANDWICH: lettuce, tomato, avocado, bacon, relish. What's the Bush Senior quote ?......"Where's the beef" ? Barely warm string potato fries. Tiny ramekin of red sweet sauce 20 bucks the plate lunch 'special' Edible, as was the sausage roll (not gluten free) Rated 2.8 for food, 1.8 for "value", (1.0 for marketing / communication) Coffees (4.0) were better than savories. Nice hot almond milk on the side was appreciated. Gratis confection was UBER sweet, she said she couldn't consume it.....I'm off sweets so ....... we left it behind. No one inquired is 'everything's ok' ? (usually the case when it's 'iffy'. innit ) In the past, we'd stopped to pick up wonderful loaves of artisanal bread at Clareville bakery, dined a couple of times, not reviewed. Probably the pick of LOCAL dining spots in this provincial farming area, hence the brisk lunchtime trade.... For us ...we can stop en route anywhere ? Unless we're taking their lovely bread away..... (some of the best in NZ) Not hurrying back to Clareville Bakery for a dine in / restaurant type experience. Pleased to share with y'all. Not as scathing as Michael T's, OUR opinion is a rounded up 3 on the yelp meter. pics to follow
