Great food, great service. If you visit Akaroa, you should definitely eat at The Little Bistro. Make sure you book in advance, as it is extremely popular.

Food was fantastic and good value as well considering the quality of it. Service was good but it felt like they were juggling quite a lot and the table was a bit small. Only being picky really. We loved our evening and would come back again!

We did our NYE dinner here and were really happy we did. The food is phenomenal - creative, tasty, fresh and of good quality. The place is small, cosy and comfortable. You MUST have at least one meal here if you're in Akaroa. Reservations are a must. There are two seatings.

This restaurant would be my top choice in Akaroa. The food is faultless and for good reason, it is always popular.

Visiting from Australia. The Little Bistro was recommended to us (by our motel) and it certainly did not disappoint. As the name implies, this is a small restaurant located in the main street of this delightful French village. The food is simply to die for.

I wasnt hasseled to leave and I rather think the other folk got... More

What a nice place. Food was excellent. very good wine selection. Intimate atmosphere. The only thing that wasn't so good was the size of the meals - they were just too big, considering the restaurant is based in the most French part of NZ. We had no room for dessert. But this isn't necessarily a bad thing!! :)

Dont be put off by the size of this place. The food is excellent and the wine list was also extensive with some good wines by the glass. The waiters were also great. A definite must while in Akaroa.
