Tucked away in a brick courtyard at the top of Parnell Road is a restaurant recently described by a leading foodie as "a temple of dining".

Antoine's is an experience not to be missed!  From the moment you ring the brass doorbell, you'll be greeted by an impeccably attired waiter and ushered to your white clothed table. The background music is subtle - classy lounge classics, and the waiters are attentive but unobtrusive, and the mouthwatering aromas wafting from the compact kitchen are a mere hint of what's to come. Beth and Tony Astle have presided over Antoine's since 1972, serving  presidents, royalty, rock stars and all the rich and famous in between. 

Chef Tony Astle presents food that is both classical and innovative, offering diners a choice of two menus; the popular Nostalgia menu and the regular table menu featuring fresh and exciting daily specials. 

The food  is New Zealand cuisine with French undertones, the menu is is regularly reviewed and evolves with the Astle's annual visits abroad to investigate the latest dining trends. An extensive private cellar selection of French and local wines provide the perfect accompaniment.
